Where can I find my program guide or know which classes to take?
Meeting with your academic advisor is always the best place to discuss which courses to take for next semester. However, if you want to register prior to meeting with your advisor, please consult your DegreeWorks Information. DegreeWorks is in your Banner account (www.rowan.edu/selfservice) – click on Student Tab, then Student Records. DegreeWorks will show you what you have completed and what remaining requirements you have. You can register for next semester based on what you think you will need but be sure to schedule an advising appointment too! When you meet with your advisor you will be able to make any adjustments needed to ensure you have the correct classes needed for your program.
Check out our advising page for our current program guides.
Where can I find courses that are currently being offered?
Rowan University's Section Tally lists all course offerings and course details (instructor, meeting dates/times, etc.) for each term and shows real-time enrollment numbers for each course.
Where can I find help learning how to register?

All psychology majors are strongly urged to take the majority of their psychology courses at Rowan University. Students should consult with their advisor before taking courses at other institutions to insure the credits will be accepted by Rowan.

Psychology majors may take up to 10% of their Rowan credit hours as pass/no credit including 6 credit hours in Psychology. Students may not take the following courses as Pass/No Credit:
Third Time Course Repeat Waiver
Psychology students are not normally able to take a course a third time. You will need to request an exception to retake a course more than the maximum allowed. Submit your repeat waiver request through the form linked here: https://rucsm.org/threepeat/
Prerequisite Waiver
If you either have taken the prerequisite course and need approval, OR you feel you have the requisite knowledge from another source, please contact the professor of the course you want to take or contact psychadvising@rowan.edu in order to determine if you are eligible for a prerequisite waiver.
