Response letters are typically sent within 5 business days after the committee meeting.

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.
