Bills for the fall 2022 semester are now available in NEST. The due date is Monday, August 22, 2022.

What Does the Bill Include?

This bill reflects the balance using costs including tuition, fees and the University Student Health Insurance premium for full-time* students, plus any applicable housing and meal plans. You may use this bill for your financial planning well before the payment deadline and as a point of reference when requesting funds from a 529 Plan, private loans, financial aid, etc.

*Full-time student status for health insurance is considered twelve (12) or more credits for undergraduate students and nine (9) or more credits for graduate students.

Important Notes About The Bill

• Review the Montclair State University Financial Responsibility Agreement.
• This bill shows your student's financial aid (as of now) that may be applied to your account and the resulting net amount that will be due.
• Any adjustments to your fall 2022 schedule (e.g. adding or dropping courses, changing housing or your meal plan), may affect your bill. If your student maintains 12-18 credits the flat rate cost for tuition and fees for undergraduate students will not change.
• Recent Parent PLUS or private loan applications may not be reflected in the estimated aid amount on this bill.
• Students are billed on a semester basis (fall, winter, spring and summer). Montclair State University reserves the right to change tuition, fees, health insurance premium and room and board every academic year.
• Note for freshmen beginning this summer or fall: If your student's bill states that they are registered part-time or states that there is no bill because you do not yet have a class schedule, please have them contact their academic college’s success center for support:
  • College of the Arts
  • College of Education and Human Services
  • College of Humanities and Social Sciences
  • College of Science and Mathematics
  • School of Business
  • School of Nursing
  • University College
