NJ Statewide Transfer Agreement Appeals Process
Students who have earned an Associate Degree from an accredited New Jersey Community
College, have presented an official credential indicating award of an AA or AS degree, have
received a Rowan University transfer credential evaluation and program guide, and wish to
discuss the allocation of credits may consult their program advisor. Should this initial
consultation fail to adequately resolve student concerns, the student has the right to petition the
Rowan University’s Transfer Agreement Appeals Committee by submitting an official request to
appeal to the student’s Academic Chair. Appeals will be considered within thirty days of filing.
(This process is separate and apart from the process required to initiate a request for course substitutions
or waivers. Students wishing to make such a request should consult their academic advisor.)
Appeals procedure:
Appeals must include detailed reference to perceived contradictions between points and
passages within the Statewide Agreement and the credential evaluation, the desired outcome,
and supporting documentation to verify course credit and placement.
All appeals must be submitted to the Academic Chair of your major and discipline.
The petition will be reviewed by the student’s Associate Dean, Academic Chair, the Academic
Chair(s) under which the course(s) would be delivered within Rowan, and University Registrar.
Appeals will be considered within thirty days of receipt by the Academic Chair. The petition to
appeal must be submitted to the chair within thirty days of receiving the initial evaluation of
transfer credit. The Appeals Committee will respond to the student’s petition and will include the
actual date it is filed with the University. All decisions will be communicated to the student via
the student’s University email address. The community college listed within the appeal may be
issued a copy of the appeal decision.
