Congratulations on your acceptance to Bloomfield College of Montclair State University! If you have any questions about our enrollment process, please call 973-655-2840 or email bcadmissions@montclair.edu.
To reserve your place at Bloomfield College of Montclair State University, submit your new student enrollment deposit online by December 15th for Spring 2025 and May 1st for Fall 2025. If you are planning to live on campus, you may also submit your housing deposit at this time. The new student deposit and housing deposit are non-refundable. On-campus housing is guaranteed for students who have paid their housing deposit by May 1.
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!
If you have any questions about housing in the future please feel free to contact the Office of Residential Life at 973-655-2895 or via email at residence_life@bloomfield.edu.
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.
