How Can I Send Sensitive Documents to Students, Faculty and Staff?

The MSU FileHawk service (msufilehawk.montclair.edu) is a secure method for transmitting sensitive documents via email and should be used instead of regular email attachments for transmitting such documents.

Advisors, in particular, should be aware that many Registrar forms such as Change of Major/Minor and Credit Adjustments will now require the use of FileHawk to securely route the forms for approval.  Students have been instructed to complete these fillable forms and FileHawk them to their advisors who will obtain the approvals and forward them to the Registrar at registrar@montclair.edu. Please visit the Red Hawk Central Forms page for a complete list of forms you should now expect to receive through FileHawk.

Instructions for using the MSU FileHawk service can be downloaded at the following link:
