OVERVIEW
Each year Ramapo College welcomes about 700 freshmen primarily from the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions and from many foreign countries. To apply for admission, complete sections I, II, III of the application. You may apply by mail or online through this Website (see link below). If you are a high school senior, give your application to your guidance counselor who will forward it to Ramapo with your official transcript and appropriate recommendations. If you choose to apply online, please inform your guidance counselor who will then send your supporting credentials to Ramapo's Admissions Office. Other freshman students (those who have been away from school for an extended period beyond high school graduation) should request that their high schools send an official high school transcript to Ramapo.
If you have a General Equivalency Diploma (GED), you must submit an official copy of your test scores. Prospective full-time students with a GED are still required to take the SAT. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required of all international students and is recommended for all students who have resided in the United States fewer than four years.
