9/28/14 Cost of Attendance - Montclair State University 1/3 www.montclair.edu/financial-aid/financing/ Montclair State » Financial Aid » Cost of Attendance It is important the students and parents understand the cost of attending a University can be more than just tuition and fees. Resident students preparing to live on campus should realize the cost of living on campus and that it is a full year commitment. For more information regarding living on campus we suggest visiting the Residential Education and Services website and also looking at the Resident Student Handbook. Commuter students will see that we have a meal plan (board charge) in their cost of attendance. Some commuter students opt to have a meal plan for the time they spend on campus. In a commuter student's miscellaneous charges, they may want to account for a parking pass. It is important to note that this money will not be reimbursed to you until your refund is issued. Students living off campus should be aware that they have an estimated board amount because even if they do not have a meal plan, they still need to pay for food. If a student living off campus is planning to use their refund to assist in paying for rent, they should be aware that refunds are not issued until the end of the add/drop period. Indirect costs (Books, travel, and miscellaneous) are costs that should be kept in mind when planning. You may need a new laptop, software, etc. that will qualify for miscellaneous charges. If you are not a commuter student, travel can be considered going home for holidays and breaks. If you have enough aid to pay your Direct Costs and would like to use the remaining balance to purchase books from the University Bookstore, you can move your aid to your Red Hawk Dollars. You can go to the Auxiliary Services Office in the Student Center Suite 1 (Right next to the Computer Lab) to turn in that form. Please note that students should be aware that if they do not have enough money to do this, it will become a charge on their account. Charges that are not paid can result in holds and late fees. Questions regarding Red Hawk Dollars should be directed to Auxiliary Services . Any funds not moved to Red Hawk Dollars will be sent to the student as a refund check approximately two weeks
