Cost and Deadlines
It is the mission of the Office of Student Accounts to manage financial transactions between students, parents, and the College in a courteous and professional manner. In this capacity, the Office of Student Accounts will adhere to departmental, College, State and Federal policies and procedures. In addition, the Office of Student Accounts will continue to seek technological solutions for the improvement of customer service.
The Office of Student Accounts takes a proactive approach to the collection of all outstanding indebtedness. By enrolling at Ramapo College, a student is accountable to pay all of the charges incurred for a given term by the published deadline. However, on an ad hoc basis, we will make every attempt to accommodate students and parents who are experiencing financial difficulties.
It is imperative that all students and parents become familiar with our policies and procedures (available on our Website), as well as payment deadlines. You should also familiarize yourself with the functions and policies of the Office of Financial Aid. The majority of problems that a student or parent encounters can be simply avoided by complying with established policies, procedures, and deadlines.
Cost Information
Fall 2023 and Spring 2024
| In-State | Out-of-State | |
|---|---|---|
| Tuition per-credit (Less than 12) | $499.30 | $824.64 |

Additional Information:
- Tuition for part-time students (registered for less than 12 credits) is calculated on a per-credit basis
- Tuition for full-time students (registered for 12-18 credits) is calculated on a flat rate basis
- Students registered for additional credits above 18 will be assessed for the appropriate per-credit charge for each credit over 18 in addition to the flat rate. For example, if an in-state student takes 20 credits the undergraduate tuition charge is the flat rate of $7,988.80 plus a two (2) credit charge of $998.60. The total charge for 20 credits would be $8,987.40.

Students who attend another institution between graduation from these community college and their attendance at Ramapo College are not eligible for the discounted tuition rate.
