Office of the Registrar
The Office of the Registrar supports your academic journey by maintaining your records, managing registration and helping you stay on track toward graduation.
Manage Your Academic Life
Many Registrar services are available through NEST, your student portal including links to register for class, viewing grades and academic standing, applying for graduation and more.
You can also manage and update personal or academic related information, which you should check every semester!
The Registrar's Office also works to ensure the Academic Calendar and various important dates are accessible. Please ensure you stay on track by checking both regularly as dates may change throughout the semester.
Before You Register...
We will remind you when it's almost time to register for the next semester by sending you emails to your Montclair email address.
- Plan Your Classes: Review the schedule of classes!
- Find Out if You Need A PIN: All first-year students, pre-major students (Discovery Program), undergraduate students majoring in Anthropology, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Geography, Sustainability Science, Political Science, Jurisprudence, Law and Society or Law and Governance, readmit students and transfer students are required to meet with their advisor in order to receive a registration PIN. Priority registration students will receive an email explaining how to obtain their “alternate PIN” before their registration time.
- Meet With Your Advisor: Some students are required to check in with their academic advisor prior to registering. They can help you make decisions and offer suggestions.
- Resolve Any Holds: Some holds will prevent you from registering, don't let this get in the way! Common holds include unpaid balances and missing documents.
- Know Your Time: Registration is based on how many credits you earned.
When Do I Register?
Your registration time is based on the number of credits you have earned and does not include credits you’re currently enrolled in.
- Graduate and priority students register first. If you are eligible for priority registration, you will receive communication in advance with your registration details.
- Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen follow in order.
- Transfer and non-degree students register later.
- Incoming freshmen do not register themselves for classes, instead your advisor will take care of this after you fill out your new student questionnaire!
Grades & Dean's List
You can view your grades and academic standing in NEST at the end of every semester. We also encourage you to read about our pass/fail grading policy.
Did you know?
- GPA is calculated on a 4.0 scale
- Grades range from A (excellent) to F (failure)
- A "WD" indicates a withdrawn course
- Dean's List can be achieved each semester for full-time undergraduate students with a 3.5 or higher and must have at least 12 credits to count towards that GPA.
- Part-time undergraduate students may qualify by earning a 3.5 across two consecutive semesters.
- Dean's List is not calculated during the summer or winter terms
- Students cannot have incomplete (IN) grades during that term or they will not qualify
Need Help?
If you have questions or need registrar related support, email registrar@montclair.edu.
Families: Due to FERPA, students must complete most Registrar-related actions themselves.
