NEST link (Network Engagement and Student/Staff Transactions) is the primary student and faculty/staff web front-end gateway at Montclair State University. NEST has streamlined many processes that once relied on human intervention. These processes include the rich capability of self-services advisement (to augment traditional advisement) for degree auditing, fee and tuition real-time payments and “one-click” (single sign-on) access to other applications such as Self-Service Banner, Degree Works, TouchNet and more. NEST provides many benefits:
- Deliver easy-to-use, self-service tools for students, staff and faculty
- Send effective, timely and meaningful communications
- Let users teach, share and manage information easily through online environments
- Automate workflows to simplify system management and administrative processes
Access to tools and services through is based on your role at the University. This means that what you see in NEST may not be the same as what someone else sees within NEST. Even two students, depending on certain criteria like Financial Aid, may have access to different features on their NEST homepage.
Through NEST students are able to:
- Access their degree audit through Degree Works
- Pay their tuition statement and payment history and pay their bills/enroll in a payment plan
- Pay housing deposits
- Pay new student deposits
- Register for classes and access the course catalog/schedule of classes
- Review financial aid information
- Set up a direct deposit account for refund disbursement
- Update personal and emergency contact information
- View and complete Financial Aid requirements and checklists including accepting Financial Aid awards.
- View important announcements
- View upcoming fall registration information
- View upcoming events organized by Carrier Services
NEST is constantly evolving with more and more features being added as time goes on. Keep an eye out for future communication about new features being added!
