Methods of Payment

Please see below for methods of out-of-pocket payment.  As a reminder, all payments must be made by the posted deadlines for the semester.

Cash, Personal Check, Bank Check, or Money Order

  • In-person payments: Cash, check, or money order can be made at the Office of Student Accounts, first-floor D-wing during regular business hours:
    • Academic Year: Monday–Friday, 8:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
      Summer: Monday–Thursday, 8:00 a.m–5:15 p.m.; Friday: CLOSED
  • Mail-in payments: Check or money order payments should be made payable to Ramapo College. DO NOT MAIL CASH. Please note, We will only accept checks or money orders payable to Ramapo College. Include the Student ID Number on the front of the check or money order to insure proper crediting to the student’s account. The Student ID Number is nine characters long, beginning with a capitol letter “R”. Payments can be mailed to the following address:
    • Ramapo College
      Office of Student Accounts
      505 Ramapo Valley Road
      Mahwah, NJ 07430
  • If you choose to pay after regular business hours, you can leave your check in the night deposit box outside the Office of Student Accounts, first-floor D-wing. DO NOT LEAVE CASH
  • If your bank returns your check for insufficient funds, the check will be redeposited and a $15 charge will be assessed. If the check is returned a second time, a charge of $40 will be assessed and personal check payment privileges at the College will be revoked. If payment is returned a third time, this constitutes nonpayment of charges. Payment must then be made by cash, bank check, or money order within five working days of notice. Failure to correct the delinquency will result in deregistration.
  • Stopping payment of a check as a means of dropping/withdrawing from classes does not relieve the student of registration charges.

Important Note Regarding Cash Transactions

The College is required by Federal law to file a Form 8300 to the IRS for any student who pays more than $10,000 in cash (either lump sum or series of payments) within a 365 day period. The Office of Student Accounts will send a written or electronic statement to each person named on a Form 8300 by January 31 of the subsequent calendar year.
