New Direct Admit Students

After you have confirmed your acceptance to MSUB by completing the free online form/application, you will want to round up the following items. The Admissions Office at MSUB is happy to help you with any questions you might have when collecting these items.

▪ High School Transcripts/GED or HiSET scores for review

▪ ACT/SAT Scores (optional)
▪ Immunization Records (often printed on your High School transcript)
▪ College Transcripts (any previous courses taken in HS or with another institution)

Please submit official transcripts from all previously attended institutions. Official transcripts can be sent through a secure electronic transcript service (Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, etc.) directly to MSU Billings or mailed directly by your previous institution to MSU Billings. Transcripts ordered and emailed to you then forwarded, mailed in unsealed envelopes, or faxed will be considered unofficial.

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