NEST (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
Faculty and staff may access NEST for a variety of different purposes depending on their role at the University. For example, Academic Advisors would access NEST and navigate to Degree Works. Here, they would find a list of their advisees and access their advisees’ degree audits in order to properly prepare their students for registration. Faculty would access NEST in order to view their class rosters or input grades.
If you need help navigating NEST please check the task based user guides:

- SSB Faculty Guides to Entering Grades
- Degree Works User Guide
- Banner 9 Learning Aids
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.
Depending on the role, faculty and employees may need additional access to certain academic applications within NEST. Additional access to certain systems is only available after attending training for that particular system.
