We’re excited you want to return to Ramapo College! We welcome back former students looking to resume their studies at Ramapo. If you’re ready to finish what you started, we’re here to support you through the re-enrollment process.
Determine which of the following best describes you.
If you have been absent for one semester and plan to return the following semester, you do not need to reapply. For example, if you took off the fall term but plan to return in the spring, you can log into Web Self-Service to register for courses. If you began your absence in the last five years and have been away for two or more semesters, follow the steps for returning below. Contact Nora McCarthy in our Admissions Office for more information or assistance.

The first step is always to re-apply, sooner rather than later!
Click the “Apply Now” button below and apply using the Ramapo College application under “Transfer, Readmit, or Adult,” choosing the “readmit” option. If you’ve forgotten your login, you can create a new account or contact the Admissions Office.
You won’t be charged an application fee and returning students do not need to provide letters of recommendation or test scores.
There are two common admissions holds. Students who left Ramapo due to a low GPA might have an academic hold. Students who left Ramapo with an outstanding bill might have a financial hold.
Concerned about your academic standing? Reach out to the Center for Student Success for next steps.
Concerned about your financial standing? Reach out to the Office of Student Accounts for next steps.
If you would like to apply for financial aid, fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for financial aid consideration.
If you had financial aid before you withdrew and were not in compliance with the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) policy, you will need to fill out a Satisfactory Academic Progress Appeal. Access an SAP Appeal Form at https://www.ramapo.edu/finaid/policies/.
Please contact the Office of Financial Aid if you have questions about this process or your SAP eligibility.
Returning students who took classes at other institutions during their absence from Ramapo College may be able to transfer credits. Students will need to send official copies of those transcripts to the Office of Admissions for evaluation.
Things may have changed since your time at Ramapo, so all re-enrolling students are required to participate in a modified orientation process and meet one-on-one with an advisor regarding registration and other concerns. Check your Ramapo email for updates and information about these procedures.
Ramapo’s Fresh Start Program enables students to reset their GPA as a step towards achieving academic success. Complete the Fresh Start Inquiry form to speak with an Advisor who can help determine if Fresh Start is right for you: Fresh Start Inquiry Form.
