Live on Campus for Spring ’21!

Been thinking about living on campus? This spring you could join over 3,200 students for a safe and robust college experience by becoming a Montclair State resident! You’ll be a part of a diverse and inclusive campus community that will allow you to gain a sense of personal independence that will stay with you throughout the course of your life.

Why Live on Campus?

Imagine if you could spend less time in the car and more time getting involved? Montclair State provides our residential community a space to live, learn and have some fun! This spring, our campus will be full of activities and things to do with in-person and virtual programming sponsored by Campus Recreation and the Center for Student Involvement. Not to mention, our student athletes are back! Watch the Women’s Basketball team kick off their season on Monday, January 25, 5 p.m., as it streams live on the Red Hawk Sports Network YouTube Channel.

Residence Life offers a multitude of different styles and spaces to make your home away from home as comfortable as possible! With many different and unique residence halls, you can join the residential community that’s perfect for you. We offer apartment, suite and community style living options all across campus to students of any class standing.

In addition, Residence Life has been actively creating a safe bubble for our campus community to live, learn, and grow during the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. We have implemented many safety measures that include move-in testing as well as monthly scheduled testing throughout the semester, increased sanitation and cleaning in high touch areas of our buildings, increased training on social and physical distancing, as well as a robust quarantine and isolation protocol for students who are potentially exposed. With increased procedures on campus, there is a much greater chance of exposure off campus than living and learning on campus!

Expectations for Living on Campus

Specifically, students are required to and expected to complete the following as an extra measure to keep the campus community safe!

• Submit a Negative COVID Test: You must submit a negative COVID test taken no more than five (5) to seven (7) days prior to your arrival on campus.
• Submit a Flu Vaccination: You must submit proof of your flu vaccination prior to your arrival on campus.
• Complete a COVID Safety Plan.
• Follow all visitation, sanitation, cleaning and social distancing policies within our buildings.
• Residents are required to fill out a waiver every time they are to leave campus. View Waiver Form.
