STUDENT SERVICES
Directions
The Pemberton Campus is located on Pemberton-Browns Mills Road (County Route
530). The Mt. Laurel Campus is located on State Route 38 at Exits 40 and 40A
of I-295. For specific directions please consult the college web site at www.bcc.edu.
Public Transportation
The Pemberton and Mt. Laurel Campuses are served by NJ Transit Route 317, a

Hill, Moorestown, Mt. Laurel, Hainesport, Lumberton, Mt. Holly, Pemberton, Browns
Mills, Lakehurst, and beyond. The Pemberton Campus is also served by the new

College Lounge Areas
At the main campus in Pemberton our lounge areas for students are spread throughout
four buildings. We have a large student lounge in the Lewis Parker College Center,
but most students now lounge in our newer buildings. The Parker Center contains
our older classrooms plus two lecture halls, the college theater, bookstore,
and numerous offices and labs. Other buildings at Pemberton include the Academic
Center, Integrated Learning resource Center/Library, and Physical Education
and Fitness Center. The Mt. Laurel campus opened in 1995. We currently have
a small student lounge and cafeteria in the Technology and Engineering Center
building. In late 2001 we will open the Enterprise and Science Center building,
which will contain an expanded Follett College Bookstore, new science labs,
a large auditorium, and other features. In 2002 a new academic building with
expanded student services, offices, classrooms, and computer labs will open
at Mt. Laurel.
Bookstore
Burlington County College has bookstores at both its Pemberton and Mt. Laurel
Campuses. These stores are operated by Follett College Stores, Inc. and sell
a variety of textbooks, college-logo clothing, educational supplies, and snacks.
Textbook purchases will be fully refunded/exchanged within seven business days of the first day of the semester OR within two business days of purchase if after that date. Within these time periods, textbooks are fully refundable when returned in the same condition as purchased (have not been written in, highlighted, or underlined) and with the original receipt. Shrink-wrapped sets being returned must still be in their original shrink wrapping. Once the textbooks are removed from the shrink-wrap, they are no longer returnable. Any textbooks purchased during the last week of classes or during exam week are not refundable but may be sold back at the end of the semester during the scheduled book buy-back period. If a student drops a class (proof may be required), a full refund is available for 30 days from the start of the semester. The College Store is not responsible for books selected by instructors for a course and then not used in that course. Therefore, the College Store will not give refunds on such books unless they meet the conditions above.
Parking
There is ample free parking available at both BCC campuses. However, all students
are required to register their vehicle, obtain and display a parking permit,

Tutoring
BCC offers a free peer-tutoring program for all currently enrolled students.

complete an application. Tutoring is done on a one-to-one basis by appointment.
Library
The college operates a three-level, comprehensive library at the Pemberton Campus
and a branch library at the Mt. Laurel Campus. The computerized card catalogs
of both libraries are connected via the Dynix computer network with the Burlington
County Library System.
Math Lab, Writing Lab and Writing Center
The math and writing labs are located in the Academic Center at the Pemberton
Campus. Instructional assistants are available to assist students.
Service Learning And Cooperative Education
Students may earn up to four credit hours per Cooperative Education semester,
depending on the nature of the job and hours worked. Students are limited to
a maximum of 12 credit hours of Co-op. The credits apply toward graduation in
the Elective category or, in some cases, as a Co-op requirement in programs
which have a mandatory Co-op component.
Another option for selected students is Service Learning. This program, available
on a limited basis to students in some Psychology, Art, and Journalism classes,
enables students to work in real-life community situations and enables the students
to put to practical use the lessons they learned in the classroom.
Clubs
BCC students can choose from a wide range of clubs and organizations. The latest
list and description of clubs is available in the college's Student Handbook/Planner.

college is a member of Region XIX – National Junior College Athletic Association,
and plays its regular season contests in the Garden State Athletic Conference.

professional theater company. Foundation Theatre performs during the fall, spring,
