Students' Rights and Regulations

The Student Right-To-Know and Campus Security Act of 1990

According to this Federal law, both current students and those who apply for admission to the College have the right to see data on the completion or graduation rates of certificate or degree-seeking full-time students. This information is available to current students through the Enrollment Services Center and to prospective students through the Office of Admissions.

Under this same Federal law, the College publishes annual reports that include Campus security policies and procedures as well as statistics regarding crimes committed on or near each of the College’s campuses. These reports are available to current students through the Office of the Registrar (at each campus), to employees through the Personnel Office, and to prospective students, upon request, through the Admissions Office.

Immunization Requirement

The State of New Jersey requires all full-time and part-time students to provide proof of vaccination or immunity to measles, mumps, and rubella. The law requires students to show proof of two doses of measles or a measles-containing vaccine and at least one dose of mumps and rubella vaccine on or after the first birthday for all students entering college from September 1995.

Students are exempt from this requirement if:

1. they were born before 1957 and can provide a copy of their birth certificate
2. they are claiming a religious exemption and can provide a letter from an accredited leader from their church or religious group
3. they are claiming a medical exemption and can provide a letter from their physician

Students who do not qualify for an exemption must either submit proof of immunization or take steps to be immunized. They may not register for courses until they have satisfied this requirement.

Medical Insurance

The State of New Jersey requires all full-time students to have medical insurance. All full-time students are required either to enroll in the College’s insurance plan or present evidence that you are covered under another plan. In addition, all full-time students are automatically enrolled in an accident insurance policy, which covers them, on or off campus, 24 hours a day, for the entire year, including vacation periods. Claim forms may be picked up at the Health Services or Student Affairs offices.
