Rowan College welcomes international students as valuable participants in its diverse and global learning community. The College is authorized under federal law to enroll non-immigrant aliens as F-1 students. International F-1 students must attend college on a full-time basis.
Rowan College is a two-year community college that awards associate degrees and prepares students for transfer to four-year institutions or to enter directly into employment. When considering Rowan College, prospective international students should be aware that:

- Private transportation is necessary. Public transportation is limited; a car is preferable.
- Proficiency in the English language is a condition of acceptance. Rowan College does not have an intensive English as a Second Language (ESL) program.
International students are not eligible to apply for financial aid. Proof of full financial support is required by the United States federal government as well as by Rowan College.

Student Activities and Campus Life
You definitely want to familiarize yourself with the office of Student Life because this is the department on campus where you don’t need a #2 pencil to excel! They host fun, exciting and engaging events on campus that are held all throughout the academic year that are free to all students. These events are a great way for students to get immersed in College life and also provide a forum to make lasting friendships. Their motto is “College is more than just going to class.”
If you have interests or hobbies you’d like to enhance, RCGC has over 20 campus clubs that you can join. Each Club has its own Advisor and meets at various times of the week throughout the year. To find out more about clubs, click on the link to the left.
You can also step it up a notch and add a “WOW” factor to your resume! Run for a position with the Student Government Association; elections take place in the Fall and Spring for the four officer positions as well as seven freshman and sophomore senator positions.
