Orientation for Transfer Students

We are very excited for you to join us for the continuation of your college career! Orientation is your introduction to academic and non-academic life at Montana State University. Transfer students will have two options for completing an Orientation. The first option is for you to complete an individual Orientation. The second option will be to attend a formal transfer Orientation just prior to classes starting.

 

Students accepted for admission to MSU will receive Orientation materials, which will outline the details for both options, at the following times:

• Students admitted for Spring Semester 2020-after November 1st
• Students admitted for Fall Semester 2020-after January 13th
• Students admitted for Summer Session 2020-after January 13th
