On the eve of Commencement, Ramapo College will host graduates and their guests for the time-honored tradition of Arching. Arching ceremonies mark both the beginning and ending of the Ramapo College experience. On their first day as Ramapo students, the Class of 2017 marched up Mansion Road and through the Arch. On May 10, graduates of the Class of 2017 will process through the Arch and down Mansion Road as it is lined with cheering families, friends, faculty and staff.

The Arching Ceremony will be held on campus at the Arch. Graduates should wear their regalia.

Immediately following Arching, there will be school-based receptions. Graduates and two of their guests are invited to attend the receptions and enjoy the company of their peers, faculty, and alumni!  There is no cost to attend this event, but an RSVP by the graduate was required.
