      Note: Some Programs may establish more restrictive transfer credit limits based on accreditation, curricular design, or program structure. Programs may impose additional criteria including accreditation standards, applicability to elective or core requirements, and alignment with program learning outcomes.

  3. The University reserves the right to modify its requirements for graduation, continued registration or appropriate progress towards the degree as directed by the Commission on Higher Education, the Presidents Council, or by the board of trustees of Rowan University. These modifications may include, but are not limited to, requirements for the demonstration of competence ++n college level basic skills, satisfactory mastery of subject matter in a major field or the acquisition of a broadly based liberal arts education.
