All students who complete teaching, counseling, or administrative programs at Montana State University will receive their Montana licenses through a recommendation process that originates with the Licensure Officer in the Field Placement and Licensure Office. The process for teachers begins during the post-student teaching seminars when the Licensure Officer appears in their Professional Issues class. The paperwork will be completed during that last week on campus. An administrative or counseling candidate should stop by 247 Reid Hall and talk to the Licensure Officer as soon as he/she decides to complete a program.

All students who complete teaching, counseling, or administrative programs and want to be licensed in other states need to contact the licensure office in the capital city of that state and request a licensure application or packet. Addresses and telephone numbers of certification offices in other states are available in the Field Placement and Licensure Office.
