Parking Permit Policy

All student vehicles parked on campus are required to have a valid parking permit. Parking decals must be permanently affixed to the lower right corner of the left-side rear window.  Parking hang tags must be displayed on the rearview mirror of the vehicle while it is parked.

For more information regarding policies, please review the Public Safety Parking Regulations.

Parking permits obtained during the Fall term are valid for the Winter and Spring semesters.  Students entering for the first time in the Spring term will be charged for a permit at a reduced rate. Students charged in the Fall term will not be recharged in the Spring, however all student attending Ramapo’s Summer session(s) will be charged separately and a new permit must be obtained for that semester.

The College does not provide a Fall only parking permit. All students who are registered for the Fall term are charged the annual parking fee rate. Students who are graduating in January, student teaching, or are studying abroad in the Spring semester are the only exceptions. Graduating students will receive a refund, equivalent to the Spring parking fee charge, upon verification by the Graduation Office. The Office of Student Accounts will mail this refund check in mid-February. Study abroad students will have their Fall account adjusted prior to the departure of their Spring program.

Parking Permit Application and Cost

Parking permit applications are available online only. Visit Parking Permits to access the registration portal.

The Parking Permit Fee and NJ State Sales Tax (see details below) will automatically be included on the term bill.

New Jersey Sales Tax Information:
The New Jersey Division of Taxation passed legislation that requires New Jersey Colleges and Universities to access, collect, and remit a six point sixty-three percent (6.63%) sales tax on parking fees charged to students who live off-campus. Students living on on-campus are exempt from the tax. As a result, the tax will appear on the bill of off-campus students, as well as the Parking Fee charge.

Parking Permit Waiver

Students who do not intend to park a vehicle on campus at any time during the school year can deduct the amount of the Parking Permit Fee from their bill, providing the online Parking Permit Fee Waiver Survey is completed no later than the waiver deadline. When the survey is submitted, a credit will be posted to the student’s account the following day. Parking charges are not removed from student accounts; they are offset by the credit of the waiver transaction. Student accounts will reflect both the charge and the waiver. If a waiver is submitted in the fall, a student does not have to resubmit a waiver in the spring. Spring waivers are only for students who were not registered in the fall.

Students who do not submit the Parking Fee Waiver by the published deadline will be responsible for payment of the Parking Permit Fee charged to their account. The survey will no longer be available after the deadline. Access the Parking Fee Waiver for instructions on how to complete the survey. Students may not apply for a parking permit and then submit the waiver, or submit the waiver and then apply for a parking permit. Only an electronic version of the survey is available. Thank you for your cooperation.

The College reserves the right to change costs, dates and procedures at its discretion.
