International Partnership Exchange Student Application

Cohort Code(s)

What is an Exchange Student at Rowan University?
An exchange student is a college student who travels to the United States on a J-1 visa to live and study for a semester or academic year through a partnership between Rowan University and the student’s Home University.

To be eligible for Rowan’s exchange program, your Home University must have an active Exchange Agreement with Rowan University. We only accept Exchange applications from students who have been formally nominated by their Home University.

Exchange students are considered non-matriculated students, since they are not pursuing or seeking a degree at Rowan University.

As a J-1 exchange student, you must register for a full-time undergraduate course load (12 credits minimum and 15 credits maximum) to maintain your J-1 status. J-1 students are not eligible to take graduate courses at Rowan.

If you are an international student not enrolled at one of our partner institutions and interested in studying as a non-matriculated student, visit the Registrar's website for more information and the application.

If you wish to become a matriculated student and pursue courses toward a degree, visit the International Admissions website for more information.

Who is an “international” applicant?
You are an international applicant if a visa is required to reside and study in the United States. Rowan considers international students/applicants who entered or plan to enter the United States on a non-immigrant visa (i.e., F-1 and J-1,) and maintain non-immigrant status throughout their study at Rowan University. This includes those who have submitted residency application documents to USCIS, but have not received formal approval verifying that you have become a permanent resident of the United States of America.

You are considered a domestic student/applicant if you are a United States citizen, a permanent resident of the United States (“Green Card” holder), an asylee, a refugee, an undocumented student, or a DACA student. To submit the domestic application, please click here.

I would like to register for courses in term:

Permission to Activate and/or Register

I understand that as a J-1 exchange student, I must take a minimum of 12 credits (no more than 15 credits) of undergraduate coursework per semester.
I understand that registering for a course as an exchange student does not guarantee admission to an academic program.
It is my responsibility to pay any charges in full by the payment deadline. Charges will include anything outside of tuition, as long as the agreement with my Home University and Rowan states that no tuition is due to Rowan.
I understand that any changes to my registration (including drops) must happen within the drop/add period for the course.
I understand that exchange students are not eligible for financial aid.
I understand that, per Rowan University policy, failure to attend does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. View deadlines here.

I certify that all information supplied above is factually true and honestly presented to the best of my knowledge.
