Off-Campus Study Request Form

Request for Off-Campus Study Request form is to be completed by any student wishing to take a course(s) at another institution or wishing to complete the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examination for college credit. Please review the following policies in regard to Off-Campus Study:

  • Approval for any off-campus study must be obtained PRIOR to enrolling in the course (or in case of CLEP, scheduling the exam). Courses taken off-campus without prior approval are not guaranteed to transfer even if a grade of C or better is earned.
  • Once a student obtains 70 credits, they are no longer eligible to transfer credits from a 2-year institution or obtain credits through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).
  • Once a student obtains 96 credits, they are no longer eligible to take any courses off campus. The last 32 credits towards a degree MUST be completed at Ramapo.
  • If the course is hosted at an international institution, the student must contact the Roukema Center for International Education.
  • The maximum number of credits a student can transfer in is 65 from a 2-year institution and 80 from a 4-year institution.
  • The student must obtain a C or better in the course(s) for Ramapo to accept the credits.
  • Once the student completes the course(s), they must send an official transcript to the Ramapo Registrar’s office.
