Commuting students must remit a $100 Admissions Deposit; an on-campus housing student must remit a $300 deposit ($100 Admissions Deposit and $200 Housing Deposit).

Methods of Payment

Personal Check, Bank Check, or Money Order

• Checks and money orders should be made payable to RAMAPO COLLEGE. Include the Student ID Number and the word DEPOSIT 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, beginning with a capital letter "R".
• If a bank returns a check for insufficient funds, the check will be re-deposited and a $15 charge will be assessed. If the check is returned a second time as unpayable, a charge of $40 will be assessed and personal check payment privileges at the College will be revoked. 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.

Credit card and Electronic Debit of Checking or Savings Accounts (ACH)

• At the present time, these functions are not available.

The College reserves the right to change costs, dates and procedures at its discretion.

At the beginning of the spring semester, current resident students are able to choose the exact location for their housing in the subsequent year. The order of priority is determined by the number of credit hours a student earned after fall term grades are posted. For example, Fall 2012 term selection is done in the Spring 2011 term and the order of priority is determined on the number of credit hours earned after Fall 2011 term grades are posted.

In order to participate in the housing selection process, all residents are required to submit a non-refundable $500 housing deposit by February 1. All information regarding the housing selection process will be posted via the Residence Life webpage on or about March1. Students, who do not submit their deposits by February 1, will not be eligible to participate in the online housing selection process.

Visit the Residence Life website for additional information.
