New students (anyone who did not reside on campus for the prior term) must complete a Housing Application Form and submit a $200 non-refundable Housing Room Reservation Fee. Continuing students (anyone who resided on campus for the prior term) must complete a Room Selection Form. Applications from new students are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Students are notified in August for fall and in January for spring regarding their specific housing assignments. If you choose to change or withdraw (see deadline link below) from housing and/or meal plan, you must complete the appropriate form in the Office of Residence Life.

NOTE: Fall housing application for continuing Students (those who lived on campus during the Spring term) will ONLY be accepted from those students who have registered for the Fall term.

Spring housing application for continuing Students (those who lived on campus during the Fall term) will ONLY be accepted from those students who have registered for the Spring term.

Students living in Pine Hall, Linden Hall, Oak Hall or Maple Hall are REQUIRED to have a meal plan; for all others, it is optional. If the housing and/or meal plan charge is missing or incorrect on the Statement of Account, contact the Office of Residence Life at (201) 684-7461, to resolve the problem. No student will be allowed to register for classes or enter campus residences without complete payment of any past due balance owed to the College. Payment for housing and meal plans are due by the priority registration payment deadline (see below). Failure to pay by this deadline date will result in the cancellation of the housing and meal plan agreements. Spaces will be reallocated to those on any waiting list. Any spaces available will then be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.

Registered students who have received award letters will find the awarded aid amount on the Statement of Account or on their account on the Web. If it does not appear, or the amount differs from the award letter, the student must contact the Financial Aid Office at (201) 684-7549. Otherwise, payment will be expected in the amount due on the bill by priority registration payment deadline. Failure to do so will result in forfeiture of reserved seats and loss of housing and meal plan, if applicable. If the total awarded amount meets or exceeds the total charges, no payment need be made to the College. If the total charges are greater than the total awarded amount, the balance due must be paid either by check, money order, credit card, or MAC bank debit card (see payment information).

Financial aid recipients are liable for the amount that is not covered by their aid package and will be subject to deregistration if payment is not received by the payment deadline. If  financial assistance for any reason is reduced or cancelled, the student will be held responsible for the entire outstanding balance. Regular payment College policies will then apply.

Federal Loans

Ramapo College participates in the Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDSLP). Under the FDSLP, Stafford Loan, and PLUS loan, capital is provided directly to the student and parent borrowers by the Federal government rather than through private lenders. Loan proceeds will be applied directly to a recipient's account once a promissory note had been signed. The Bursar’s Office will notify the student by mail when their account has been credited. If a promissory note is not signed, the student's  account will not be credited. As a result, the account may be delinquent and  subject to deregistration.

New Jersey CLASS Student Loan (NJC)

The trustee bank will issue an electronic funds transfer (EFT) for all NJC Loan proceeds, less the prevailing processing fee rate, to the College’s bank account for both student and parent loans. In turn, the College will credit each student’s account for the net amount of the loan.
