[11] Some demands listed by the Black Student Unity Movement were "that all racist faculty be removed from the university, an Urban Education Department be established, and that the new library addition be named after Paul Robeson".

[12] The movement was unable to get their demands met by Rutgers University immediately, but in 1991, Paul Robeson Library was established on the Rutgers-Camden campus.

[14] On June 20, 2020, students of Rutgers University–Camden created a petition that called for, "the removal of the Walt Whitman statue which stands tall in the middle of our campus.

"[15] Walt Whitman was an American poet and writer, who purchased a house in Camden in 1864, where he wrote his defining work, "Leaves of Grass".

[17] Rutgers University-Camden addressed the concerns proposed in the petition by hosting virtual meetings with community members, university faculty, students, and historians.

It offers a three-year course of study for full-time students and a four-year, part-time program leading to the awarding of the Juris Doctor degree."

The Paul Robeson Library develops and maintains access to materials that support undergraduate and graduate coursework and research.

Many students live off campus in Camden's Cooper Grant neighborhood, in Philadelphia, or in surrounding suburbs such as Collingswood and Haddonfield.

The Walter Rand Transportation Center is located a few blocks from campus, which provides access to several NJ Transit bus lines.

Additionally, the seasonally operated RiverLink Ferry running between Camden and Philadelphia has a stop at the nearby Adventure Aquarium.

As a service to students of the university, the Rutgers–Camden Police Department provides "a walking security escort for individuals to their vehicles, campus housing, the PATCO Hi-Speed Line station at 5th and Market Sts., and the Walter Rand Transportation Center on Broadway".

In 2006, Rutgers–Camden earned its first NCAA Division III national championship when the softball team defeated top-ranked and two-time defending champion St. Thomas (Minn.), 3–2.

In 2012 and 2013, Rutgers–Camden student-athlete Tim VanLiew won back-to-back NCAA Men's Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the javelin.

The team compiled a 32–0–5 record during that time, the eighth-longest streak in NCAA Division III men's soccer history.

The team earned a trip to the NCAA Division III National Championship for the first time in program history by defeating Loras College, 3–2, in overtime on Dec. 6, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas.
