Undergraduate Admissions: Requirements for Au Pair Students

AuPair Class List (PDF)

Who is allowed to register for courses?

Au Pairs who attended the mandatory information session.
Participants who have completed all the requirements will be issued an R number (identification number) for access to register for classes and an email address.

What does an AU grade mean?

Audit grades (AU) are not eligible for credit or transfer within the United States.
Participants must present a letter of introduction and review course expectations, with the instructor on the first day of class. (Letter to Faculty PDF)
Participants are not required to perform assignments but they are strongly encouraged to actively participate in the class.
Professors may give participants who have excessive absenteeism a W (Withdrawal) rather than AU. A W grade does not fullfil J-1 academic requirement.

What classes are offered to Au Pairs?

Au Pair participants may take up to two courses per semester with a maximum of four classes within the same academic year.
Participants may enroll in most 100 and 200 level undergraduate courses provided there are seats available in the course at the time of Au Pair registration.
English and Math classes have a placement test requirement that must be passed before registration. Ramapo College does not offer classes in English as a Second Language (ESL).
