ACADEMIC AFFAIRS PROCEDURE
Faculty Responsibilities to Students on Interim Suspension
PROCEDURE
A student on interim suspension retains his/her status as a student and, as such, may attempt to complete
coursework while banned from College property. The Dean of Students, who manages the interim
suspension process, will inform the student that he/she may contact his/her faculty by Ramapo College email or by other means that do not require a physical presence on campus. A faculty member who receives
a request from a student on interim suspension to submit coursework should consider the following:




course policies
course schedule
course material
planned learning experiences
The faculty member is not required to amend the syllabus or any other aspect of the course in order to
accommodate the student’s request and may deny the student’s request altogether. If, based on the criteria
above, a faculty member chooses to accommodate the student’s request, he/she should communicate that
decision to the student by Ramapo College e-mail. That communication should indicate the coursework to
be completed, the deadline, and the means by which the student should submit the coursework. In no case
should the student be permitted to return to campus to submit coursework while on interim suspension.
A student on interim suspension will likely be absent from one or more class sessions. The faculty member
may follow the attendance policy as outlined in the course syllabus and apply the attendance policy
consistently to all students. In cases when a student may be absent from class for a more prolonged period
of time, the Dean of Students will notify the faculty member.
