Mission

Mission
The Office of Judicial Affairs is responsible for coordinating and adjudicating all College policy violations. The Director of Campus Judicial Affairs, in conjunction with the Vice President for Student Affairs, reviews Campus Security reports to determine violations of the Student Code of Conduct and other College policies.

Overview
The members of the Ramapo College community recognize that the development of responsible student behavior and conduct is fostered by example, counseling, guidance, admonition and by adherence to College policies, procedures and regulations.

Ramapo College does not attempt to regulate the lives or activities of the students except to assure its liability to accomplish its educational mission and to protect the health, safety and security of members of its community. Rules and regulations are promulgated by the College, or by other Agencies with applicability to the campus or its members, shall be enforced, and students are expected to comply with them.

Educational Discipline
Ramapo College is committed to the overall educational and personal growth of its students. In order to most effectively facilitate this process, it is important to maintain an environment conducive to such.

The College requires the individual and mutual cooperation of its community members both in and out of the formal classroom context. The College, therefore, has an established set of policies, procedures, regulations and standards of behavior. Included is the regulation of the conduct and behavior of community members whose actions may impede, obstruct or threaten the maintenance or order and/or the achievement of the College's educational goals.
While it is the goal of the disciplinary process to educate students as to the purpose and importance of abiding by policies, the College will also issue sanctions, as are appropriate and necessary to ensure continued and/or future adherence and to protect the general population from disruptive behavior.
