C. Purchasing a Permit
PLEASE NOTE THE POLICY CHANGE BELOW
ALL student vehicles parked on campus must have a valid parking permit (decal) permanently affixed to the lower right corner of the left-side rear window. Parking permits obtained during the fall term are valid in the spring term. A student entering for the first time in the spring term must obtain a spring only parking permit. A new parking permit must be obtained for the summer term. There will be a ONE week grace period at the beginning of the semester before summonses will be issued.
Note: The New Jersey Division of Taxation passed
legislation that requires New Jersey Colleges and Universities
to access, collect, and remit a seven percent (7%) sales tax on
parking fees charged to students who live OFF-CAMPUS. Students
living on-campus are exempt from the tax.
Note: If a student chooses to park a vehicle on campus without a valid parking permit, they risk being issued a summons and/or booting or towing of the vehicle at the violators own expense.
Ramapo College has partnered with ThePermitStore.com to provide a convenient online method of obtaining a parking permit. Students no longer have to wait in line at the Public Safety Office to apply for or pick up a parking permit. Once a student has completed the application process, the parking permit will be mailed directly to the address designated by the student.
PARKING BILLING POLICY
The parking fee is not paid when a student applies for a parking permit. The parking fee automatically appears as a charge on a student’s term bill.
The first day to apply for a summer term parking permit at ThePermitStore.com is mid-May.
The first day to apply for a Fall/Spring academic parking permit at ThePermitStore.com is mid-December for Spring and early August for Fall passes.
Students, who do not intend to park a vehicle on campus at any time during the school year, can submit a Parking Fee Waiver Form to the Bursar’s Office. Upon receipt of the waiver form, the Bursar’s Office will verify that a student has not applied for a parking permit. When verification is completed, a credit will be posted to the student’s account. If a student has applied for a parking permit, the waiver request will not be processed. s
Students may not apply for a parking permit and then submit a Parking Fee Waiver Form or submit a Parking Fee Waiver Form and then apply for a parking permit.
If the Waiver Form is not submitted by the published deadline, the student is responsible for the parking fee charge, which will remain on the student’s account. To view Critical Financial Deadlines, click the Deadlines button below. |
