Announcement:
The College has created an On-line policy manual as a depository for all college-wide and administrative unit policies. Please refer to the college-wide policy page for all updated references to existing college policies. The On-line policy manual can be found at policies.tcnj.edu.
The Office of Records and Registration is in the process of redesigning its website which will reconfigure this page as a direct link to the on-line policy manual. We appreciate your patience. You may contact us at recreg@tcnj.edu should you not find access to a particular policy through the On-line policy manual that may be related to Records and Registration.
