Welcome Roadrunners!<\/strong><\/p>\n

As the 2025-2026 academic year begins, I am writing to all students to emphasize the importance of the\u00a0Student Handbook<\/a>.\u00a0 The Student Handbook contains the\u00a0Code of Conduct<\/a>, which is the conduct expected of all students.\u00a0 It also contains the policies and procedures for many offices on campus.\u00a0 In addition to policies and procedures, the handbook has information regarding the rights and responsibilities of all students.<\/p>\n

Some of the important policies in the Handbook include:<\/p>\n

Sexual Misconduct Policy\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Alcohol, Cannabis, Other Drug, and Good Samaritan Policy<\/a><\/p>\n

Fire Safety<\/a><\/p>\n

Anti-Bullying<\/a>
\nReporting a Bias Incident<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Sexual Misconduct Policy\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

This comprehensive policy includes definitions; information regarding confidentiality; reporting options; jurisdiction and reporting timeframes; alcohol and drug amnesty; interim and protective measures; investigation and resolution procedures; sanctions; recordkeeping; non-retaliation information; and a resource directory.\u00a0 \u00a0For the full policy click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alcohol, Cannabis, Other Drug, and Good Samaritan Policy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Although New Jersey state law permits the recreational use by persons over 21 years of age and the medical use of cannabis as prescribed by a medical professional, the College prohibits being in the presence of cannabis or the use, possession, and or distribution of cannabis for any use.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/i><\/p>\n

The purpose of the Alcohol, Cannabis, Other Drug, and Good Samaritan Policy (herein \u201cthe policy\u201d) is to define and communicate, to all members of the College, acceptable and unacceptable behavior with regards to alcohol, cannabis and other drugs and the sanctions for policy violations.\u00a0 The policy provides specific scenarios and examples for students of what they may do and may not do with regards to alcohol on campus.\u00a0 Students who are under the age of 21 may not be in possession of or in the presence of alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs at any time.\u00a0 Persons who are present, within college housing, where alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs are being consumed by those over or under the age of 21 will be presumed to have been consuming, in possession of, or in the presence of alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs if Public Safety Officers, On-Call Administrators or Resident Assistants are called to the scene.\u00a0 Hosting large gatherings or parties, where alcohol, cannabis, or other drugs are present, is considered a violation of the policy and will lead to disciplinary action, including suspension of residence privileges.\u00a0 The policy outlines recommended sanctions for violations of the policy.<\/p>\n

Items commonly associated with alcohol consumption may be prohibited if they are used in a manner that violates college policies. This includes but is not limited to drinking game equipment (e.g., beer pong tables, cups arranged for drinking games) and devices designed to facilitate rapid alcohol consumption (e.g., funnels, bongs, shot glasses, or similar items when used with alcohol). While some items may be permitted if unused, their presence in a setting that suggests or promotes excessive alcohol consumption may be subject to review by college staff. Additionally, any form of excessive drinking, including but not limited to drinking games, is strictly prohibited campus-wide.\u00a0\u00a0For the full policy click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fire Safety<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Fire\u00a0safety is\u00a0a\u00a0high priority\u00a0at\u00a0缅北重口.\u00a0Fire\u00a0Safety Policies and Procedures\u00a0promote\u00a0lifestyle\u00a0practices\u00a0that\u00a0focus\u00a0on health\u00a0and\u00a0safety.\u00a0Policies\u00a0and procedures\u00a0associated\u00a0with\u00a0fire\u00a0safety\u00a0are intended\u00a0to\u00a0inform,\u00a0educate,\u00a0and\u00a0train\u00a0students,\u00a0faculty,\u00a0staff\u00a0and guests.\u00a0\u00a0Specific information regarding Fire Safety policies can be found by clicking\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Anti-Bullying<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Code of Conduct covers a wide range of behaviors that are considered unacceptable including harassment, intimidation, and bullying as outlined in the New Jersey Anti-Bullying law.\u00a0 For the full Code of Conduct click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reporting a Bias Incident<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Compliance (EDIC) oversees the College\u2019s Bias Incident Response Policy Prohibiting Discrimination (\u201cthe Policy\u201d) which serves to address bias incidents that are directed to students, faculty, staff and visitors at 缅北重口 of New Jersey based on their membership in a protected category.\u00a0 A Bias Incident is any action directed toward an individual or group based on the individual or group\u2019s actual or perceived race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, age, sexual orientation, sex, gender identity or expression, disability, marital status, civil union and\/or domestic partnership status.\u00a0For additional information regarding reporting a bias incident click\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Behavioral Intervention Team<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Student Handbook also provides information about services that are in place to assist students.\u00a0 The Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) coordinates the support services of the College in order to assist students who have reportedly displayed troublesome or concerning behaviors on campus.\u00a0 For a full description of BIT, please click\u00a0here<\/a><\/p>\n

Each student is encouraged to review the Student Code of Conduct and the College Policies and Procedures as outlined in the\u00a02025-2026 Student Handbook<\/strong><\/a>. Students are held accountable for the information contained in the Student Handbook.<\/p>\n

The Office of Student Conduct is committed to helping students take responsibility for their actions by providing them the opportunity to realize the impact their actions have on the community.\u00a0 Communication with students, regarding documented behavior that allegedly violates the code of conduct, will be sent to the student\u2019s college email address.\u00a0 Students are responsible for checking their college email account on a daily basis.\u00a0 Failure to read college email is not a justifiable excuse for neglecting to attend a disciplinary hearing or missing a deadline related to a disciplinary sanction.<\/p>\n

Please do not hesitate to contact the Office of Student Conduct at 201-684-7869 or via email at\u00a0studentconduct@ramapo.edu<\/a>\u00a0with questions or concerns about the Student Handbook.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n
