Undergraduate Admissions: Requirements for Au Pair Students

Who is allowed to register for courses?

Au Pairs who attended the mandatory session.
Participants who process the Au Pair application by 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, September 3, 2009.
Participants who have completed all the requirements above 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 give a letter of introduction and review course expectation with the professor on the first day of class. (Letter to Faculty PDF)
Participants are not required to do assignments but they are strongly encouraged to actively participate.
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 can enroll in most 100 and 200 level undergraduate courses provided there are seats available in the course at the time of Au Pair registration.
Some classes have prerequisites and verification of completion of the requirement has to be provided by the participant before registration.
English and Math classes have a placement test requirement that must be passed before the start of classes. Ramapo College does not offer classes in English as a Second Language (ESL).
