Official high school transcripts required for transfer students with under 60 semester or 72 quarter credits to receive financial aid. Those with an associate degree or 60+ semester / 72+ quarter credits are exempt.

Immunization Records & Official College Transcripts must be turned in before start of intended semester.

Test Optional

The Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education has ended the requirement that students provide ACT or SAT test scores for admission to its campuses. This change is effective immediately and for the foreseeable future. If you have ACT or SAT test scores, please submit them.  These scores can be used in place of a supplemental assessment administered through MSUB to determine math and English placement.
