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

Visitor Parking

The Red Hawk Deck—across from the Admissions Office in College Hall–will ensure that access to the campus is easy and convenient. Prospective students visiting the campus for an admissions tour will receive complimentary parking. All other visitors can park at the deck for a small fee.

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, Residential 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.
