Provost: Convener Resources
The convening group is the primary academic and curricular unit at Ramapo, functioning in lieu of the traditional department. A convening group is comprised of faculty teaching in the particular major, minor, or program, and reports to a Dean. Some convening groups are disciplinary while others are interdisciplinary. Faculty may be from one school or from several.

Ramapo values its adjunct instructors and consider them an integral part of the learning
process. At the beginning of each year an orientation is held for all new and returning adjuncts
to keep them apprised of the latest college policies and procedures.
To teach courses offered by an academic unit, the minimum academic qualification is a Master’s degree in a relevant field. Exceptions may be made by the Provost upon recommendation of the Dean. (Board of Trustees Policy #603).
Program review is an important component of student learning, pedagogy, and scholarship. The five-year review of major and minor programs at Ramapo College serves to reaffirm that commitment of faculty and staff to the improvement of teaching and learning and to the mission of the College. It is also critical to maintaining a curriculum which is current, meaningful, and which provides the learning experiences necessary for students to achieve the stated learning outcomes of the program
The schedule for review is obtainable from the Office of the Provost.
