Any student whose employer is providing payment for semester charges, must present written documentation on company letterhead to the Office of Student Accounts prior to or at the time of registration to be considered for deferment. The agreement must contain the student’s name, social security number, semester for which the payment will be made, and the terms of the agreement. If there are any charges that the employer will NOT pay, such as lab fee, parking, etc., the student is responsible to make payment for any unqualified charges by the payment deadline (see deadlines link below). The College will NOT honor any type of agreement that contains conditions that delays or precludes payment. An example of such a stipulation is, “remittance will not be made until grades are received.” Under these circumstances, it will be the responsibility of the student to pay the College in-full and seek reimbursement from the employer. The College will send an invoice to the company. If the employer does not remit payment by the due date, a hold flag will be placed on the student’s account. It then becomes the student’s responsible to make payment in-full before the hold flag will be removed. It is important to present authorized documentation and provide payment of unqualified charges as per the above instructions to avoid deregistration.

Any person, who is eligible and has applied for veterans’ benefits under any of the programs administered by the Veterans’ Administration offering education and training assistance allowances, may defer payment of tuition and fees (but not room and board fees). Once the Financial Aid Office verifies a student’s eligibility, the student must proceed to the Office of Student Accounts to sign a special deferred payment agreement. The agreement will allow the veteran to defer payment on a monthly basis. If a veteran does not sign an agreement, the student will be subject to deregistration. Any delays with receipt of the veteran’s monthly allowance, does not exempt the veteran from making payment in accordance with the deferral. Deferments are not given for a veteran’s first semester at Ramapo, unless circumstances are discussed with the Veteran’s Administrator. Documents should be brought to  the Financial Aid Office for verification. If you have any questions, you may contact the Financial Aid Office at (201) 684-7549.
