How to Enroll with RCSJ as a Visiting Student

New Visiting ​Students

To begin as a new visiting student...

  1. You must first complete an application as a non-degee seeking student (this option is our way of saying, "visiting student").  If you have been a visiting student at RCSJ in the past, you can skip this step and proceed to Step 3.  Complete the application by clicking one of the two links below 
  2. 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: Gloucester (856) 415-2209​ | Cumberland 856​ 200 4685.

  3. 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.

  4. Once your course request is received and processed (could take up to 3 days during periods of higher than normal volume), you will receive another email with instructions to help you register, how to pay for the course, how to obtain course materials, how to request your RCSJ transcript for when the course is completed, as well as how to receive technical support for online & hybrid courses.​

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?
