Undergraduate New Students Admissions and Housing Deposits
To reserve a place in the Fall class and request on-campus housing, you must submit your deposit. You may submit your deposit electronically or by postal mail.
If you wish to submit your deposit by postal mail, simply return the Acceptance Card found in your admission packet to the Office of Admissions. Include a check or money order for $800 if you will be living on campus or a check or money order for $600 if you will be commuting.
If you wish to submit your deposit electronically, visit www.ramapo.edu/paymydeposit. It is important to follow (print) the directions found on the landing page before entering the payment portal.
The deposit is credited toward the charges of your first semester of enrollment.

After that date the housing deposit is non-refundable.

Knowing and meeting deadlines for changes to courses or residence status is the responsibility of the student. The College is not responsible for publishing reminders or alerts related to deadlines for account adjustments. Current deadlines can be found on the Academic Calendar and at the link below.

Federal Financial Aid Refund and Repayment Policy
To assist you with your Financial Aid Return of Title IV calculations, contact Financial Aid.
Students who officially withdraw or leave school before 60% of a semester concludes are subject to Federal regulations that determine the amount of Title IV financial aid funds that may be retained and the amount that must be returned.
The amount of Federal aid that must be returned is based on the percentage of time the student attended school during an academic term. Students are entitled to retain only that portion of Federal student aid that they have earned based on their attendance.
The formula through 60% of the payment period is as follows:
(# of days attended)/(# of days in semester)=% of earned Federal Student Aid
100%-(% of earned Federal Student Aid)=% of Federal aid to be returned
A repayment may be required when cash has been disbursed to a student from financial aid funds in excess of the amount of aid the student earned during the term. The amount of Title IV aid earned is determined by multiplying the total title IV aid (other than FWS) for which the student qualified by the percentage of time during the term that the student was enrolled.
If less aid was disbursed than was earned, the student may receive a late disbursement for the difference. If more aid was disbursed that was earned, the amount of Title IV aid that must be returned (i.e., that was unearned) is determined by subtracting the earned amount from the amount actually disbursed.
The responsibility for returning unearned aid is allocated between the College and the student according to the portion of disbursed aid that could have been used to cover institutional charges and the portion that could have been disbursed directly to the student once institutional charges were covered. Ramapo college will distribute the unearned aid back to the title IV programs as specified by law. The student will be billed for the amount the student owes to the title IV programs and any amount due to the college resulting from the return of title IV funds used to cover institutional charges.
As specified in Section 484B of the Higher Education Act, the law also specifies the order of return of Title IV funds to the programs from which they were awarded.
The College reserves the right to change costs, dates and procedures at its discretion.
