Current Commuter Information

Please read carefully the general steps to be eligible for a wait list:

Step 1:

Students must have paid a $125.00 non-refundable housing application fee. Payment of this fee serves to indicate your interest in residing in campus housing once again. Checks should be made out to "Montclair State University" (please write "Spring 2009 Housing Application Fee" in the memo portion of check) and submit to:

Office of the Bursar/Cashier's Office
College Hall
Room 216
Montclair State University
Montclair, NJ 07043

Step 2:

Make sure that there are no holds/obligations existing on your student account by reviewing the holds page of your WESS account. If there are any holds on your account (financial, registration, parking, immunization, library fines, etc.), you will not be eligible to be placed in a vacancy and will be moved to the bottom of the wait list. The Office of Residential Services will notify you that we were unable to place you due to the hold on your account.

Step 3:

You may print out the following wait list and submit it to the Office of Residential Education and Services. You may also stop by the Office of Residential Education and Services located in Bohn Hall on the 4th floor and complete the wait list form in person.

Please also note that students are offered a space based on their indicated preferences, and some students may be placed before others due to what a student indicates as a preference.

The Office of Residential Education and Services will place people from the wait list into available bed spaces throughout the semester and will contact the student via MSU email and the phone number indicated on the wait list form. Failure to respond to the offer within 24 hours will invalidate the offer and the student will be removed from the wait list and the housing application fee will be forfeited. 

To be eligible for this wait list you must have:

1. Paid the Housing Application Fee
2. No holds on your account
3. Met the credit requirements for The Village or Clove Road Apartments if selected

Please note that this wait list will also be based on date of application fee paid and distance from your permanent address to the University.
