The Handbook seeks to provide a compact reference on topics of interest to the Ramapo College faculty and staff. It is not intended to give complete and detailed information about all of the College&#8217;s policies and procedure. Its function is to serve as a guide to administrative and academic regulations, procedures and obligations as they now apply at this College. A college or university is, of course, never static. Policies and procedures constantly change, and as changes occur they will be reflected in this Handbook.<\/p>\n<p><a
