Tours depart from the Undergraduate Admissions Office in College Hall. To check availability and schedule a tour, register online at montclair.edu/admissions/visit.html.

Visitor Parking

The Red Hawk Deck—our parking facility capable of accommodating 1,100 vehicles—will ensure that access to the campus is easy and convenient. Prospective students visiting the campus for an admissions tour will receive a complimentary parking pass. All other visitors can park at the deck for a small fee. To reach the Red Hawk deck, use the main entrance on Normal Avenue, travel about 200 yards (around the left-hand curve), and enter the deck on your right. (See the campus map for details.)

Open House Programs

Whether you’re a prospective freshman, transfer, or adult student, you’ll be able to attend an admissions presentation especially for you and discover all that Montclair State University has to offer. Our Undergraduate Open House programs are large-scale events (usually about 3,000 visitors) with a wide variety of things to do and people to meet.

Faculty representatives are on hand, along with representatives from Financial Aid, Residence Education, Athletics, Greek Life, and many more. This is your opportunity to meet other students interested in Montclair, take a campus tour, or just check out a residence hall. For upcoming Open House dates and times as well as registration information, go to montclair.edu/admissions/visit.html.

Virtual tours

While nothing replaces an oncampus visit, you can take a virtual tour of our campus online, complete with 360 degree panoramic views, before you even come to campus. Go to montclair.edu/visit.
