Policies & Procedures

Policy: 8601

Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ) is committed to cultivating and maintaining a safe environment that ensures every individual has access to the necessary support services to enhance their overall well-being. To uphold this commitment, the College has instituted a Campus Assessment, Response, and Evaluation (CARE) Plan. The CARE Plan provides a mechanism for responding to student mental health and basic needs concerns, conduct violations, and threats to safety.

The CARE Team is an interdisciplinary group of RCSJ staff who have been identified and tasked with implementing the Plan and recommending appropriate and supportive interventions and strategies for student mental health and well-being.

It is the purpose of the CARE Plan and Team to provide a comprehensive framework designed to facilitate prompt and efficient responses to address potential challenges and crises, thereby promoting a culture of student safety, success, and retention.

The President will have administrative procedures developed to further define and implement this policy.
