URGENT Help Please, input file not closing

Can anyone help? It's not closing the file when I'm reading in a file. I'm using a Linked List implementation where list.Insert(temp) is a function to add that Student to the list.

int ProcessFile(List &list){
   int j = 0;
   Student temp;
   ifstream infile;
   infile.open("ClassRoster.data"); //Open ClassRoster.data
   if (infile.fail()){
      cout<<"Could not read file.\n"; //Display this if file does not open
      exit(1);
   }
   infile>>temp.id; //Read in the first item of ClassRoster.data
   while(!infile.eof())
   {
      getline(infile, temp.Name, '$');
      infile>>temp.managerStat;
      list.Insert(temp);
      j++;
      cout<<j<<endl;     
      infile>>temp.id; //Read in the first item of ClassRoster.data
   }
   infile.close();  //Close file
   return j;
}


Here's my data file:

What makes you think it's not closing the file?

When I run the program, it just reads out an infinite loop of numbers (j) which is from :
cout<<j<<endl;
