Update on macOS Catalina for personal computers

Rowan University students who want to upgrade to macOS Catalina on their personal laptop or desktop computer may now do so. Information Resources & Technology has tested the new Mac operating system and verified its compatibility with most applications and services that provide access to Rowan Network resources.

Please back up any important documents or other content before starting the upgrade. You may lose unsaved data if the upgrade is not successful.

Note: If you use ExpanDrive to access your home directory or the openarea, it may not work with macOS Catalina. You may use Google Drive to store and access your documents as an alternative.

This upgrade is not yet approved for Rowan-owned laptops or desktops. Faculty and staff may upgrade to macOS Catalina on their personal computers but not on Rowan-owned and managed devices.
