General Information
Student Health Services provides diagnostic and primary health care for a wide variety of illnesses as well as education and prevention services to all enrolled students. Nurse Practitioners, a Registered Nurse, and a consulting Physician staff it. The Nurse Practitioner (APN) coordinates office services and works independently according to state law and the scope of practice. Some services do have a fee associated, such as the flu vaccine, PPD testing, medications, pregnancy testing, and allergy clinic.

If a student requires non-emergency medical attention when Student Health Services is closed, you can see a community medical provider. Locally there are several urgent care type facilities conveniently located to Ramapo College of NJ. Please direct all calls regarding their office hours, cost and insurance coverage directly to the Valley Health Medical Group.

In the case of an emergency, your only option is to go to the emergency department of a local hospital. If you believe that you have a condition that cannot wait until Student Health Services is open, call Campus Security at 201-684-6666 or x 6666 or dial 9-911. Security will immediately respond to your location. The Mahwah Police and Ramapo College Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Unit will also respond. EMS is a student organization staffed with certified first responders and emergency medical technicians. An EMS first responder/EMT will assess your condition and transport you by ambulance to the local emergency room. The student is responsible for all associated costs.

Student Health Services is NOT an Emergency Department and cannot provide the level of care that Emergency Departments do. Invasive procedures and emergencies are referred to community providers, local hospitals or local health care facilities. It may be medically necessary to have a student seek more definitive care at the Emergency Department or with a local specialist. The student is responsible for all associated costs.

Intoxication, self-injurious or other dangerous behavior: If a student is referred or required to be transported by the College to a hospital Emergency Room or other medical facility due to intoxication, potential or actual self-injurious or other dangerous behavior, the College will not assume financial responsibility.

Assumption of Costs: If a student is referred/and or required to be transported to the Emergency Room of a hospital or other medical facility due to substance intoxication, potential or actual self-injurious or other dangerous behavior the student and/or family are responsible for all student Emergency Room charges and associated costs. These may be paid by insurance or personal funds. The College will not be responsible for any of these costs.
