Student Conduct

The Parking Ticket Appeals Committee considers appeals filed within the guidelines of the RCBC's traffic appeals as provided in the most recent copy of the Student Handbook. The Appeals Committee generally meets on the last Thursday of the month to review appeals. Required supporting documents must be faxed or emailed as noted on the Appeals Form. Response letters are typically sent within 5 business days after the committee meeting.

To appeal a ticket, please use the Traffic Appeals Form. Appeals are only accepted online and are reviewed by the Committee mentioned above. If you need to submit supporting documentation, you can also email parkingappeals@rcbc.edu.

We encourage all members of the Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) community to adhere to the common-sense principle of resolving concerns at the lowest appropriate level.  Using the table below, please start with Tier I and move upward only if no resolution is possible at that level.  In other words, all individuals should attempt to resolve concerns with the person or department closest and most familiar with the issue rather than jumping immediately to that individual’s supervisor.  Failure to start at the lowest appropriate level may slow down an effective resolution of your concern. Please allow ample time for concern resolution at each level before escalating your concern to the next higher level.

Note that the suggested contact information for academic concerns are listed on the left and the suggested contact information for administrative concerns are listed on the right.

Additional Information

We are confident that all concerns can be resolved within the college. If, however, after making every reasonable effort, students or prospective students are unable to resolve their concerns using the table above, they may have recourse to submit a complaint to the appropriate agency within the state where they currently reside, or to the college’s accreditation agency, or in the case of military/veteran students, spouses or dependents to the US Department of Defense. Please note that most (if not all) of the external complaint processes require that the student or prospective student documents a good faith effort to resolve the concern within the college before the external agency will consider the complaint.
