The Office of Financial Aid is now scheduling appointments for students who need to conduct business in person.  Appointments can be made through email at finaid@ramapo.edu or through our chat located on our website. In person appointments are available Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 4:30pm. However, we are confident that most questions can be handled without in-person visits via a phone call, a Webex meeting or email.

If you or your family is experiencing financial hardships due to the COVID-19 pandemic please email or call the Office of Financial Aid so we can discussion your situation and the possibility of a re-evaluation of your financial aid award.

Please be aware, students must now Accept or Decline Federal Direct Loans through the Ramapo College Self-Service.  Your loan will not appear on your bill until you do so.  Please follow these instructions:

The Award Overview tab is a summary of your financial aid package.  The Terms and Conditions tab provides you with important information about your awards.  The “Accept Award Offer” tab is where you must choose to accept or decline your loans.
