Update 7-20-06

Dear Students,

Montana State University-Billings and Japan Educational Partners (JEP) would like to announce the following updates:

1)       Confirmation of Receipt of “New MSU-B – JEP Assistance Request Verification Form” Submissions:

On the morning of July 20, 2006, MSU-Billings sent an e-mail message to ALL students who have already submitted the New MSU-B – JEP Assistance Request Verification Form to confirm that we have received your submission. Several of these confirmation e-mail messages were returned as “undeliverable” indicating that the e-mail address that student’s have provided us is not working, or may have filters activated which will not allow our correspondence to be delivered to their e-mail address.

NOTE: Students who have submitted the assistance request form – but who DID NOT receive this confirmation e-mail message should either re-submit the New MSU-B – JEP Assistance Request Verification Form or e-mail anjostudent@msubillings.edu to provide us with correct e-mail contact information that we can use for future correspondence.
