Welcome to the Montclair State University community! As your student gets ready to begin their college journey, here are some important steps you can take to stay informed, connected, and supportive throughout the process:
Student Success is Family Success!
For You as a Family Member:
Step 1
Complete Your Profile in the Family Portal
The Family Portal, powered by CampusESP, is your one-stop hub for staying connected and informed throughout your student’s journey from their first day to graduation.
Through the portal, you’ll get access to personalized newsletters, event reminders, deadline alerts and articles tailored to your student’s interests, major and campus experience. You can update your profile anytime, choose what topics matter most to you and even share helpful posts directly with your student.
Create or update your account to make sure you’re getting the most relevant info!
Step 2
Join the Family Facebook Page
Connect with other families, get real-time updates and ask questions.
Step 3
Register for Family Webinars
Get your questions answered live! Our family webinars offer a chance to hear directly from campus departments on topics like housing, health services, student involvement and more. It’s a great way to stay in the know and feel confident supporting your student. Plus, we have a few specifically for new families!
Step 4
Talk to Your Student About Proxy Access
Due to FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) regulations, Montclair students are the only ones who can authorize others to view their academic and financial records. However, they can grant you proxy access to see important information like billing, financial aid and class schedules. It’s a secure way to stay informed and support your student’s success.
