Questions about your Housing Deposit and Application? Contact the Office of Residence Life at 973-655-5188 or email reslife@montclair.edu for assistance.

Students who pay their housing deposit will receive a Housing Survey to complete. We ask that you fill out this survey to best assist us in matching you with your first year roommate!

You will receive a confirmation email from Undergraduate Admissions with the subject line, “Your New Student Deposit & NetID for Bloomfield College of Montclair State University.” Your NetID is your login for many web-based University systems, including your Google account. The email we send you will give you your NetID and instructions for setting it up. As part of activating your NetID, you’ll have to confirm your identity through a challenge question. As a new student, you must choose the “CWID” challenge question. Your CWID can be found at the top of your Accepted Student Portal. Your NetID cannot be activated until after you submit your new student deposit.

After you activate your NetID, you MUST enroll and set up Duo Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) before classes begin for access to University systems. Duo Mobile makes logging in easier by providing a verification code through your phone or device. An email will be sent to you with instructions. Learn More about DUO.

It may take 24 hours until you’re able to successfully log in to other campus systems after setting up your NetID. To access your Montclair Google account, sign into Google.com with your NetID@montclair.edu Gmail and password. Don’t forget to add your new Montclair email to your phone and check it regularly! This where you’ll receive official messages from your advisor and the University, and about exciting topics like new student orientation and move in.

Once you have deposited and claimed your NetID, you are eligible to be enrolled in courses for your first semester! We begin registering new students in December for Spring and May for Fall. Please note that in order to register for courses, you must make an appointment with an Academic Advisor. Please contact The Center for Academic Advising and Career Education at 973-655-2869 or email johnsonkie@montclair.edu for any career or academic advising appointments which are offered both in person and virtually.
After your schedule is built, your academic advisor will talk about what to expect before the semester begins. We strongly encourage you to prepare for your first advising meeting by viewing our Academic Advising 101 Videos beforehand.

The New Jersey “College Immunization Law” requires all new students to provide valid proof of immunization against Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR), Hepatitis B, and Meningococcal Disease. Compliance with these regulations is monitored by Bloomfield College of Montclair State University. These required vaccines are commonly given in childhood, check with your medical provider or your high school for proof of vaccination.

Submit all immunization documentation through MyHealthPortal. (Please note, requests for medical exemption must be uploaded to MyHealthPortal as well.) Learn more about how to submit your immunization forms.

• Spring Students: The deadline to submit immunization records is December 1st or three weeks from the date you pay your deposit.
• Fall Students: If you submit your deposit by May 1st, the deadline for submitting immunization records for Fall 2025 is May 22nd. If you pay your deposit after May 1st, you have three weeks from the date of deposit payment to submit the form.

You will need to make sure you are financially cleared to move-in and to start classes for the spring semester. Contact Student Financial Services by calling 973-655-2719 or by emailing bloomfieldrhc@montclair.edu to make sure you are ready to go! In addition to paying your balance in full, Bloomfield College is excited to offer a payment plan system with Cash Net to pay your semester charges. The payment plan offers functionality such as access to student account information in real-time, online management of accounts including payment plan adjustments and payment preferences of direct debit from a checking or savings (ACH) account, or credit card payments. For more information, please visit Bloomfield Red Hawk Central. Students should meet with an Office of Student Financial Services counselor if financial aid documents are missing or have questions pertaining to their award package.
Financial clearance will be given to students who complete one of the following options:

• Pay their balance due in full, or
• Set up an approved payment plan using Cash Net Payment Plan Portal, or
• Receive enough financial aid to cover their entire bill (the Office of Student Financial Services will make this determination)

Your final official high school transcripts (including graduation date), official AP and CLEP score reports from College Board, dual-enrollment or other early college program transcripts, must be sent to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions so you can have those credits added to your degree evaluation if applicable.
