Gender Inclusive Restrooms

Gender Inclusive Restrooms provide safe and comfortable restroom facilities for queer, trans, and gender-nonconforming, people. The chart below lists the locations for all of the Gender Inclusive Restrooms on campus.

Name Changes on Campus

In recognition of students who use a name that differs from their legal name, Ramapo College’s Used Name Policy provides a pathway for students to be officially recognized, included, and given the opportunity to identify themselves as they wish (this should not be confused with the Change of Name form, which addresses legal name changes). After submitting the short Used Name Form, a member of the Name Committee will contact you to discuss how the process will unfold (e.g. where the Used Name will be utilized on campus).
