Step by step instructions are available at:http://oit.montclair.edu/documentationpdf/YourMSUAppInstructionManual.pdf  If you have any questions or need assistance, please e-mail Msuconnect at msuconnect@mail.montclair.edu
   
3. An announcement will be placed on the MSU home page www.montclair.edu. under the News section.
   
4. An announcement will be placed on the LED sign at the Valley Road entrance.
5. The weather hotline will be updated as necessary.  The hotline number is (973) 655-7810.
