We are very excited for you to start your academic career at Montana State University Billings! Below are your next steps to register for fall classes.

Step 1: Submit transcripts, immunization records and any advanced placement exams

Official Transcripts
Send in your official high school and any previous college transcripts—these are your ticket to meeting with an academic advisor and registering for Fall classes.
Please send all official transcripts to the Office of Admissions. Official transcripts may be sent through parchment (electronically) or delivered to our office in a sealed envelope.
