It is the mission of the Bursar's Office to manage financial transactions between students and the College in a courteous and professional manner. In this capacity, the Bursar's Office will adhere to departmental, College, State and Federal policies and procedures.

The Bursar's Office is responsible for the Accounts Receivable of the College. Functions include:

• Timely and accurate billing and collecting of all student expenses, such as tuition, fees, room, board, and miscellaneous charges and fines.
• Prompt crediting of each student's account.
• The collecting of delinquent student accounts.
• Process Perkins Loan entrance and exit interview and collects develpment Loans.
• Providing and maintaining installment payment plans.
• Calculating and processing student refunds.
• Issuing payment receipts and duplicate copies of student bills and/or class schedules.

Our fiscal responsibility to the College necessitates a proactive approach to the collection of all outstanding indebtedness. By enrolling at Ramapo College, a student is accountable to pay all of the charges incurred for a given term by the published deadline. However, on an ad hoc basis, we will make every attempt to accommodate students and parents who are experiencing financial difficulties.

It is imperative that all students and parents become familiar with our policies and procedures (available on this Website), as well as payment deadlines. You should also familiarize yourself with the functions and policies of the Office of Financial Aid. The majority of problems that a student or parent encounters can be simply avoided by complying with established policies, procedures, and deadlines.

We trust that you or your child will have a very positive experience here at Ramapo College. If this office can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to call, write or e-mail your concerns.

• Billing semester charges.

• Receipting cash and check payments.

• The College accepts credit card payments. However, the processing is outsourced. A convenience fee will be charged to the cardholder at the time of payment.

• Answering questions regarding a student's account and College payment instructions and policies.

• Issuing payment receipts and duplicate copies of student bills and/or class schedules.

• Receipting third party checks.

Students, who have a delinquent student account, are first notified by the Collection Department of the outstanding indebtedness. The student is given the opportunity to pay their debt to the College before his or her account is placed with a collection agency and credit bureaus.

Students, who have borrowed a Federal Perkins Loan, are required by Federal law to attend an Exit Interview before leaving or graduating from Ramapo College.
