Prospective Transfer Students:
Evaluation of Transfer Courses
Montana State University (MSU) has a transfer equivalency website that shows how certain courses from selected colleges and universities will transfer to MSU. You can do your own research on how courses you have taken elsewhere will transfer to MSU. Click on the following link https://atlas.montana.edu:9000/pls/bzagent/hwzkxfer.p_selstate to explore this website. Not all schools are represented on this site and only courses that have been reviewed by the Admission’s evaluators have been entered.
As part of the application process to Montana State University, you must submit official transcripts from all prior colleges and universities attended. The Office of Admissions will then evaluate your transfer courses and send copies to you and the advisor at the College of Nursing. To review the Transfer Equivalency Worksheet and/or find out how your transfer courses will satisfy College of Nursing requirements contact Pat Hanson, Coordinator of Undergraduate Student Services at phanson@montana.edu or by phone at (406) 994-2660.
The College of Nursing also has an informal process for evaluating transcripts for prospective transfer students. If you would like to receive the packet to start the evaluation process please click request for information. Once you have received your packet, please complete the Temporary Worksheet to the best of your ability and return it with transcripts from each school attended (need not be official transcripts for this unofficial evaluation). Once your completed Temporary Worksheet and transcript/s have been received, within 4-6 weeks you will be contacted to discuss this evaluation with you.
Advising Appointment
The College of Nursing holds formal Orientation sessions which it expects students to attend in order to be well informed about our programs. As part of the Orientation session, you will be advised and may register for your classes. There are weekly Transfer Orientation sessions during the summer for students who are enrolling in the fall, as well as a formal Orientation just prior to fall classes starting. To attend one of the summer sessions, contact Pat Hanson at least a week in advance as space is limited. Please be sure to bring your transcript/s to these sessions.
Prospective transfer students who would like to schedule an advising appointment should contact Pat Hanson (contact information above).
