Non-Degree enrollment at Ramapo College is for anyone wishing to earn RCNJ credit; however, the student is not formally admitted to the College. Non-degree students are permitted to register after our matriculated students register. The Non-Degree registration window opens a few weeks prior to the start of each semester. Please refer to our registration schedule for dates and times.

• Non-degree enrollment is on a seats availability basis. If there is a seat available at the time of your registration, you can register for the course barring there are no prerequisite or test score requirements preventing you from registering.
• If you are a Visiting Student and have received permission from your home institution to take a specific course at Ramapo, we will lift the prerequisite when written or emailed permission is received by our office.
• If you are a Post-Baccalaureate Student who wishes to take a course with a prerequisite, then a simple review of your unofficial transcript showing the completion of the prerequisite, with a grade of C or better, is all that is needed to lift the restriction.

Anyone is eligible to enroll as a non-degree seeking student, but there are some restrictions. The following students are not eligible:

• Students who are not in good academic (minimum 2.0 GPA) and social standing at their prior institution.
• Freshmen or transfer applicants who have been denied enrollment for the same semester they wish to be a non-degree seeking student.
• Students that have been found responsible for a disciplinary violation at an educational institution you have attended from 9th grade (or the international equivalent) forward, whether related to academic misconduct or behavioral misconduct that resulted in your probation, suspension, removal, dismissal or expulsion from the institution. Appeals will be considered with written explanation of the violation.
• Students that have been convicted of a misdemeanor, felony or other crime. Appeals will be considered with written explanation.

The Non-Degree applicant submits the Non-Degree Information Form with the proper supporting documents. Once the form has been received and processed, we send the applicant their student ID number and registration instructions to the address given on the information form. After the student receives their packet, they are free to register.
