Counseling Services

RCBC offers short-term mental health counseling that can help students solve problems, take care of their emotional health, and get connected with care in the community. When meeting with a counselor, you might discuss concerns about mood, stress management, healthy relationships, conflict resolution, substance use, health issues, and more. We can help you make a plan to deal with challenges and achieve your goals.

You're not alone.

If you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or you want to talk to someone, we want you to know that you're not alone. Current RCBC students can access free counseling both virtually and on-campus with the Office of Student Support. At RCBC, we want our students to have more than just academic success, and supporting your well-being is important. Counseling services are included in student fees, so there is no additional charge for counseling.

Rowan College at Burlington County Student Support Counselors safeguard the privacy and security of information you share with your counselor. The confidentiality of information that you share with a counselor is protected by federal and state law. Such personal information will not ordinarily be disclosed to any third party without your express, written, informed consent stipulating what information may be divulged, to whom, for what purposes, and within what time period.

However, there are several exceptions to the general rule of confidentiality. Rowan College at Burlington County would be required to release information to appropriate persons if:

  1. We believe there are indications of an imminent risk of harm to you. In these circumstances, it may be necessary for the staff to take whatever action is necessary for your safety, including notifying appropriate college officials and/or law enforcement.
  2. You disclose intent to harm another person. In such circumstances, the staff member is legally required to notify appropriate law enforcement agencies and also the intended target of the threat.
  3. We learn information which leads us to believe that someone under the age of eighteen or an elderly person is being abused. In these circumstances, suspected abuse will be reported to appropriate state agencies and/or law enforcement.
  4. We receive a valid court order to release information, in which case required information will be released to the court.

Email Communication:
To help ensure privacy, students are cautioned against sending sensitive, detailed personal information through email.If you have any questions or concerns regarding confidentiality, please discuss them with a Student Support Counselor.
