Apply for Housing

Join Us in Red Hawk Country!

Join the over 5,000 residential population and live on campus! Living on campus gives students the opportunity to socialize, live and learn beyond the classroom — days, nights and weekends. Montclair State Residence Life offerings include residence halls, suites and apartments, each with their own amenities. Enjoy cable TV, high-speed internet, communal kitchens, game rooms, study lounges — you might never want to leave. In addition, we offer several Special Interest Housing options to provide you with the opportunity to live with friends who share your interests, lifestyle or commitment to a major.

Housing Application Directions

In order to apply for housing for, you must first be eligible and complete the necessary requirements as listed above in the drop downs.

Step 1

Log into the Residential Management System (RMS) with your NetID and associated password. If you are a new student and have not registered your NetID, be sure to complete that first!

Step 2

Select either “Go to New Students Homepage” or ” Go to Current Students Homepage” and then click on “Housing Selection Homepage” to enter your personalized RMS homepage.

Step 3

Scroll down to the Prepare for Housing Selection section of the page. Click the green arrow next to “Complete My Housing Agreement”.

Step 4

Follow each direction on the page. You will use your CWID number (excluding the ‘M’) as your electronic signature for your housing agreement.

You will also be able to submit room style preferences and lifestyle preferences. These preferences do not select a housing assignment for you and do not guarantee a specific style of housing.

Be sure to select “Finish” at the end of the page to complete your housing application.

Step 5

You will now wait to either participate in housing selection or be assigned a room depending on the semester that you are applying for housing. Once you have selected housing or been assigned housing, you will receive a Housing Confirmation email.

You will receive all of your housing application summaries to your Montclair email account as confirmation that you have completed the process properly. We will be communicating specific move-in instructions over the summer break for the fall semester and winter break for the spring semester. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at reslife@victorybreastimaging.com.

Request for Medical Housing Accommodations

The Office of Residence Life and the Disability Resource Center work together to accommodate students with disabilities or medical needs. Depending on the time, students should confirm deadlines for housing selection processes! We do however accept requests at any time and accommodate requests based on availability.
