Submitting Reports

Rowan University is committed to gathering information and providing individuals with opportunities to share information, concerns, perspectives, and thoughts. Although we attempt to implement mechanisms to make such communication accessible to all, we know there can be unintentional confusion regarding how to submit information. The following is intended to help provide clarification:

If you have immediate concerns for the safety of a student or others please call University Police at 856-256-4911.

Animal-Related Complaints or Concerns:

Rowan University truly values the essential, life-changing impact Emotional Support (ESA) and Service Animals can have on individuals. As a result, students, faculty, and staff will encounter ESAs and Services Animals in a variety of venues on campus. Members of the Rowan community are expected to appropriately interact (or not) with ESAs and Service Animals. At the same time, ESAs, Service Animals, and their handlers are expected to adhere to appropriate behaviors (including the Student Code of Conduct). If you have complaints or concerns related to an ESA, Service Animal, and/or handler, you may use this form to submit the matter for referral to appropriate University personnel for follow-up.

Animal-Related Complaint/Concern

No Contact Order Request:

Rowan University is a community that values the unique perspectives each individual contributes. As a University, we celebrate, encourage, and promote the strong experiencial relationships faculty, staff, and students building with one another. At the same time, we respect that within any community there exists challenges, differences of opinions, and personal tenets. While in most instances, those aspects of a university environment lead to positive development and growth, there are times when the issuance of a No Contact Order between parties is approriate and reasonable. Students who would like for designated University officials to consider the implementation of a No Contact Order (specific to Rowan), may submit a request form.

Student Assistance Resources

Hardship Appeal Request:

This form is used to submit documentation of unanticipated hardship that significantly and/or suddenly prevented attendance or participation in classes and/or completion of coursework. Documentation may be submitted by the student or by authorized University officials or personnel and will be evaluated for consideration of account adjustments associated with involuntary and unavoidable withdrawal from one or more courses in a given term. Documentation must be clearly associated with the time-frame of withdrawal and must verify the duration and/or severity of the hardship. Please note that per University policy, a refund or cancellation of charges is not normally available after the Add/Drop period and will be considered only in rare and compelling circumstances.

Hardship Withdrawal Request

Student Emergency Assistance Funds:

The Student Emergency Fund was established through the Rowan University Foundation in 2016 in an effort to support students facing unexpected hardships. The purpose of the fund is to help prevent an emergency from derailing a student's progress toward earning a degree from Rowan University. Although the funds cannot be utilized to satisfy a University bill (e.g. tuition, fees, housing), they may be used for other personal expenses (e.g. transportation, personal health, emergency groceries, basic needs, required technology for remote learning).

Student Emergency Assistance Funds

Faculty, Staff, and others may also submit information on behalf of a student they know might be in need.

Emergency Funds on Behalf of a Student

Student Absence:

If a student will be absent for illness, medical reasons, or exceptional personal reasons for three (3) or more consecutive class days, the Dean of Students Office may be asked to notify professors regarding the student’s absences. Students will be required to provide verifiable documentation regarding the reason for the absences to the Dean of Students Office. Though notification may be provided by the Dean of Students Office, arrangements for make-up work, make-up exams, or possible assignment adjustments are the responsibility of the student.
