International Scholars' Residence: Resources
Handbook for the Visiting Scholars
Prior to the arrival at Ramapo College, all Visiting Scholars work closely with the Office of International Student and Scholar Services in ensuring that the legal matters over the visit to the United States are addressed and completed.
In addition, the Office has created the Handbook for the Visiting Scholars. The Handbook provides a brief explanation of the legal issues a scholar should be aware of, as well as information on the Visiting Scholars' Residence and living arrangements for the scholars on campus.
The Manager of the Visiting Scholars Residence provides each resident with a hard copy of the handbook.
Academic Information
The academic teaching responsibilities of visiting scholars are discussed in the letters
of appointment for each scholar. Guidance
on the course books, grading and other academic and administrative issues are the responsibility of the Deans and Conveners
of the school in which the visiting faculty member teaches. All visiting faculty are urged to familiarize themselves with the college catalog, faculty handbook and schedule of classes as soon as they arrive on campus.
