Montclair State University (MSU) has announced a significant update regarding its Enrollment Deposit policy, effective January 27th. This change will impact prospective students planning to enroll at the university. Understanding these updates will help students and education partners navigate the enrollment process seamlessly.

Key Changes in Montclair State University’s Enrollment Deposit Policy

  1. Increased Deposit Amount
    The Enrollment Deposit has been increased to $1,000. While this deposit is not required for obtaining an I-20, it is mandatory for course registration.
  2. Refund Policy for Visa Denials
    One of the most significant updates is that the deposit is now refundable if a student’s visa application is denied. Previously, deposits were non-refundable.

Eligibility Criteria for Refund

To qualify for a refund, students must provide the following documents:

  • SEVIS Fee Payment Receipt with Montclair State University’s school code, proving the visa application was based on Montclair’s I-20.
  • Visa Appointment Confirmation showing the exact date of the appointment.
  • Visa Denial Letter issued by the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.

Refund Process

  • The student must cancel their application in their university portal.
  • The refund will be processed through the original payment method via the university’s Student Account Office.
  • For further assistance, students should contact Montclair’s Student Accounts Team directly.

What This Means for Students and Agents

This updated policy provides a financial safety net for students, ensuring they do not lose their deposit if their visa application is unsuccessful. Education consultants and agents should inform prospective students about this new policy and guide them in preparing the required documentation.

Applying Through INTO Partner Portal

If you have already placed an application via the INTO Partner Portal, ensure that students are aware of this policy update. Advising students on these changes will help them make informed decisions regarding their enrollment at Montclair State University.
