Appeal of Admission Decisions

Applicants who wish to appeal the decision(s) made in the Office of Admissions relating to admission status, acceptance of transfer credit, granting of University Core designation, or residency status are encouraged to contact the appropriate campus resource. Initial questions regarding admission decisions and transfer credit evaluations should be directed to the Office of Admissions. If an appeal is appropriate, information about the appeal process can be obtained from the Office of Admissions.

Admission and Graduation Requirements Board

The Graduation and Admissions Requirements Committee (GARC) considers appeals and/or petitions from students seeking waivers of established admission and graduation requirements. For admission appeals, the Committee is composed of the Assistant Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (chairperson), the Registrar and Director of Admissions, and the Assistant Dean of the College in which the student is enrolled. Information about the appeals process can be obtained from the Registrar's Office.

Core Equivalency Review Board

The Core Equivalency Review Committee considers appeals and/or petitions from students seeking re-evaluation of the assignment of transfer credit to meet University Core requirements. The Committee is composed of MSU faculty and administrators. Information about the appeal process can be obtained from the Registrar's Office.

Residency Appeals Board

The Residency Appeals Board considers appeals from students seeking reconsideration of residency status for fee purposes.

Students who wish to appeal the initial residency classification should request a Student Guide to Montana's Residency Policy brochure. After reading the residency regulations, the applicant should complete the Residency Questionnaire, attach all supporting documentation, and submit the information to the Registrar's Office. Appeals must be received a minimum of seven (7) working days before the semester begins. The Residency Appeals Board will review the Residency Questionnaire and determine residency status for fee purposes.
