Students should send their official high school transcript along with any college/university transcripts, test scores (if applicable) and/or documentation via the following methods:

Mail to:

Rowan College at Burlington County
Office of Outreach and Admissions
900 College Circle
Mount Laurel, NJ 08054

Email:

Admissions@rcbc.edu (NOTE – this should only be used for high school transcripts being sent DIRECTLY from the high school. No other transcripts/test scores will be considered official if sent to this address by the student)

Electronically:

If your previous institution has the ability to send electronic transcripts to RCBC, we will accept them.

Placement in English and Math courses can be determined in one of three ways:

Transfer Credits – If a student has college level English and/or Math courses that are able to be transferred into RCBC as college level courses, students may receive placement based on those courses.

Multiple Measures (available for students who have graduated high school in the past 5 years) – RCBC uses Multiple Measures to determine the most appropriate placement for all entering students. Multiple Measures include factors such as high school coursework, high school GPA, highest level of coursework completed and standardized test scores including SAT, ACT and ASVAB tests. Our Multiple Measures chart is available here (PDF).

Virtual Placement Exam – Students who are unable to place via our Multiple Measures chart, do not have applicable transferable credits or would like to challenge their initial placement can take our virtual English and Math placement exams. To sign up for the exam(s), reach out to the Office of Outreach and Admissions at admissions@rcbc.edu.

Once you have completed the steps above, you can meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss your academic plan and courses. Our Academic Advisors are available in-person at our Mount Laurel Campus as well as virtually.

The State of New Jersey requires all full-time (12 or more credits), degree seeking students to provide proof of immunizations against measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal and hepatitis b. Proof of immunizations should be certificated by your health care provider utilizing the “Certificate of Immunization” form, which can be obtained from the College at rcbc.edu/forms.

Students who are exempt from the immunization requirements on grounds of medical contraindication, religious reasons, or age (students born before 1957 are exempt from MMR requirements only), should submit the “Certificate of Immunization”, indicating the type of exemption, along with supporting documentation as required.

Student may be admitted and enrolled on a provisional basis for their first term if required immunization documentation is not available at the time of registration.
