On behalf of the entire University community, congratulations on your acceptance! We have designed our program to maximize your time on campus today. Rather than telling you where you need to be, we have given you the opportunity to decide where you want to be. Check out the schedule below to plan your day.

I invite you to make the most of your time at Montclair State University today. I urge you to ask questions, introduce yourself to your future classmates and professors and perhaps even ignore the balloons and take the road less traveled – it could make all the difference.

Lisa KasperDirector of Undergraduate Admissions

PLEASE PARDON OUR APPEARANCE...Thank you for visiting Montclair State University!

During your visit, you may notice extensive construction work around the campus. We appreciate your patience while we work toward our goal of energy self-sufficiency. This project will create our very own heating, cooling, and power system. This system will provide enough energy to satisfy nearly all of our energy needs on campus and keep costs for future students like you under control. We are thrilled that you are able to visit our campus during this ground-breaking project and apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause. We hope to see you again soon! Perhaps during your next visit you will be able to enjoy the benefits of our new energy saving system.
