President's Post #194: Spring 2021 Reduction in Fees

Dear Students and Families,

Student fees for Spring 2021 at Ramapo College of New Jersey will again reflect a 30% reduction. The coming semester will surely bring with it continued challenges and the College recognizes that, due to the restrictions placed on us by the pandemic, we cannot provide our students with the full range of in-person student activities and programming that you have been traditionally accustomed to receiving.

I wish to reiterate, however, that, as Ramapo College continues to navigate through the pandemic, we remain committed to ensuring that we deliver on our promise of a high quality personalized educational experience. This commitment includes:

• deploying state of the art technology and pedagogical practices to support virtual learning and hybrid instruction;
• delivering creative and thoughtful programming to enhance extracurricular and civic engagement;
• maintaining routine health and compliance measures to ensure safe environments for work, study, and personal growth; and
• facilitating the accessibility of essential student support services such as advisement, counseling, and tutoring.

We have learned a great deal about individual, organizational, and community resilience throughout the past several months. Our students have demonstrated remarkable dedication to their academic careers despite the range of challenges and stressors posed by the events of 2020. Further, our faculty, staff and administrators have doubled down on their shared commitment to advance student success.

I continue to be immensely proud to serve as President of Ramapo College of New Jersey and I remain grateful for your continued trust, support, and optimism.

Looking forward,

Peter P. Mercer, President
