Accounting and Financial Services
Accounting and Financial Services (CO 222) provides Accounting, Accounts Payable, Data Entry and Control and a variety of other services for the campus community. Accounting services include processing of travel encumbrances via form TR-1; processing journal entries as requested by departments; processing charge backs for the various central services on campus (e.g., Mail, Central Printing and Duplicating, and Central Stores); data entry for all cash receipts; production and distribution of all monthly financial reports; and, grants accounting. Accounting also has the responsibility to prepare the annual financial statements included in the audit report. Accounting provides access to the users and training in the use of our Financial Records System (FRS) to new users and retrains existing users who request it. We have user manuals geared to the specific needs of individual users, whether fiscal agent or on-line requisitioner. Accounts Payable processes all vendor invoices for payment and issues prepayment of registration and other expenses based on the approved TR-1 processed by Accounting. Other requests for payment are processed on Check Requisition forms (up to $250) after a critical review has taken place to determine if it complies with University policy.
The Collection Office, located in College Hall Room 220, is responsible for assisting students in simplifying their debt repayment. For students who are delinquent in payment of tuition and fees, NDSL/Perkins loan, or for assistance in filing in-school deferments, teaching cancellations, or loan consolidations please call the Collections Office at (973) 655-7593 or 4132.
Bursar
The Bursar's Office, located in College Hall Room 216-218, is responsible for invoicing and collecting revenue from tuition, fees, and room and board. The Bursar's office also issues refunds to students.
The Risk Coordinator is responsible for maintaining insurance policies and filing claims with the State and Insurance carriers as appropriate. Claims need to be filed with this office (CO 226, ext. 4199) with 90 days of the occurrence and requires a report filled with security. Proof of loss or an estimate of damages in the case of vehicular damage must be provided. Only employees can drive state vehicles and require a valid driver's license. This office will file, in advance of the vehicle use, a driver's abstract with the state. The Risk Coordinator renews the vehicle registrations and maintains insurance identification. A student's personal property is not covered under Montclair State University's insurance policy. Therefore, we encourage residential students to take out insurance if your personal property is not covered under your own homeowner or tenant's insurance policy.
