Important Notes About Your Bill

  • Please ensure you review the Montclair State University Financial Responsibility Agreement.
  • This bill shows your financial aid (as of now) that will be applied to your account and the resulting net amount that will be due.
  • Any adjustments to your fall 2023 schedule (e.g. adding or dropping courses, changing housing or your meal plan), may affect your bill. If you maintain 12-18 credits the flat rate cost for tuition and fees for undergraduate students will not change.
  • Recent Parent PLUS or private loan applications may not be reflected in the estimated aid amount on this bill.
  • Students are billed on a semester basis (fall, winter, spring and summer). Montclair State University reserves the right to change tuition, fees, health insurance premium and room and board every academic year.
  • Note for freshmen beginning this summer or fall: If your bill states that you are registered part-time, or states that there is no bill because you do not yet have a class schedule, please contact your academic college’s success center for support:
