Ramapo College unfortunately does not offer “preferred” or “used” names in our student information systems, Banner, however we are currently in the process of updating those systems. Banner provides information for class rosters, billing, identification cards, residence life housing assignments, degrees, transcripts, email/Gmail, Moodle, and Archway, among other areas on campus.
A Name Committee comprised of professional staff, faculty, and students from various areas on campus was created to address name change issues at the college. For more information about this committee, contact Melissa Van der Wall mvanderw@ramapo.edu.
