New Visiting Students

To begin as a new visiting student...

For the Gloucester Campus: Visiting Student Application

While your application is getting processed by the Admissions Office, you can review our course offerings by clicking on the links to the right for the campus you applied to. We suggest speaking to your home institution to ensure the credits will transfer back. You can contact the Admissions Office at (856) 415-2209
Once you recevie an email from the Admissions Office that your application has been processed, you can then complete the Visiting Student Request Form. If you skip this step, you WILL get an error when trying to register for a course. If you are taking a course that has prerequisites you MUST include your unofficial or official transcripts when requesting to register. There will be an option on the form for you to upload this document.

FAQs

Q: I’ve already submitted a Visiting Student Registration Request Form. What if I want to register for additional courses in the same semester that I did not include in my original request form?

A: Visiting students must complete a new Visiting Student Registration Request Form for every additional course that they wish to register for. Students can request up to 3 courses for every 1 request form.

Q: Once I’ve received my confirmation email, does that mean I’m registered for the course(s)?

A: No. Students are responsible for registering themselves for the course(s) they’ve been approved for. This is done through the student portal by following the step-by-step instructions under “Registering for Courses” that are included in the confirmation email.

Q: What if I’m a student visiting from Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland campus?

A: Students who are visiting from the Cumberland campus are considered in-county. Additionally, students who wish to register for courses that require proof of prerequisites still need to provide their unofficial transcript from the Cumberland campus in their Visiting Student

Registration Request Form.

How will I communicate with my professors?

A: Professors communicate with students through their RCSJ student email accounts. Students can access their RCSJ student email account on their student portal homepage by clicking the “Email” icon under the “My Applications” section. Additionally, professors communicate to their students through Blackboard, which can be accessed by clicking the “eLearning” icon under the “My Applications” section.

Q: I’ve registered for an online class, but I can’t log into the class. What do I do?

A: On the first day of class, your online course materials will be visible on Blackboard, which can be accessed by clicking the “eLearning” icon under the “My Applications” section on the student portal homepage.
