Montana University System Application Fees

Fees

Montana Residents

Application fees are waived for Montana residents.

Out-of-State Residents

Montana University System charges a processing fee of $30 for each campus you apply to.

Some campuses may have an additional supplemental fee; contact your campuses to learn if they require this and how to pay it.

Fee Waiver Codes

Some campuses provide fee waiver codes that offset application fees. If you received a fee waiver code from your campus, use the information below to apply it to your payment.

Note that you cannot redeem a campus's fee waiver code after you submit your application to them. Additionally, if you miss a program deadline due to waiting for a fee waiver code, you must request a deadline extension from your campus, not Montana University System.

Using a Fee Waiver Code

You can apply your fee waiver code(s) when you are ready to submit your application.

  1. Click My Campuses in the top right of the application.
  2. Click the Submit Campuses button.
  3. Review your program selections and click Continue.
  4. On the payment page, click the plus icon for Fee Waiver Codes and enter the fee waiver codes you received from the campuses.
  5. Click Add.
  6. Complete the rest of the payment details pages.

Note the following:

  • When a fee waiver code equals the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information.
  • When a fee waiver code is less than the total transaction amount, you'll need to enter payment information for the additional balance.
  • When a fee waiver code is more than the total transaction amount, you don't need to enter additional payment information. However, you'll forfeit the remaining balance offered by the fee waiver code, as Montana University System will not issue credits or carry remaining balances forward.
  • Fee waiver codes cannot be applied to chargeback fees.

If you used a fee waiver code when submitting to a program, the code will be listed under Payment History.
