Welcome to Ramapo College

Welcome to Ramapo College! This fall semester kicked off with the annual Arching ceremony, as more than 1,500 new students walked through our landmark archway to symbolize the beginning of their journey at Ramapo. Students have moved into their new #HomeSweetPo (Residence Halls) and classes are underway. The campus is bustling with activity. We welcomed author Jon Ronson, whose book “So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” was the Summer Reading Selection. New campus improvements are in the works with the current installation of photovoltaic panels in the parking areas. Our athletics teams are off to a good start and are looking forward to successful seasons. Students will participate in Ramapo traditions and learning opportunities this fall through fairs for clubs, study abroad, jobs, Oktoberfest, Founders Day, new mentorship programs and more.
