Submitting and Completing Your Montana University System Application

Before Submitting

Before you submit your application, be aware of the following:

You can make limited changes after you submit your application. You can add new items to certain areas of the Academic History, Supporting Information, and Campus Materials sections (e.g., test scores, experiences, optional documents, etc.), where applicable, but you cannot edit existing entries. You can also select additional campuses to apply to. All other sections are read-only.
Do not wait until the last minute. You can submit your application up until 11:59 PM MT on the deadline date; however, ensure you allow for time to complete the required payment section. You must click Submit and complete the final payment information before the deadline in order to guarantee your submission is accepted. Additionally, be aware that during our busiest times you may experience page loading delays, and these may occur outside of customer service's hours of operation. We cannot grant deadline extensions if you miss your deadline; contact your campuses directly for more information.

Submitting Your Payment

When you are ready to submit, click the Submit Campuses link in the What's Next section of the application. Select the campuses you want to submit and click Continue. Do not submit any payments before submitting your application. Payments can only be made in the application via credit card. We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. Credit card payments cannot be made over the phone.

Once you submit your application and payment, select View Payment History from the Applicant Menu to confirm your payment's receipt.

Refund Policy

Because your designated campuses have access to your information as soon as you submit your application, no refunds can be issued for any reason (this includes missed deadlines and campuses no longer accepting applicants).

Before submitting your application, you are prompted to review and agree to the Montana University System Release Statement. This agreement includes a clause about the refund policy. As an applicant, it's your responsibility to complete your application correctly, monitor the status of your application, ensure all required materials are received and posted to the application, respond to all notifications in a timely manner, and adhere to the deadline requirements posted by each campus to which you have applied. Additionally, keep in mind that campuses review applications and fill seats throughout the application cycle and may not notify Montana University System that their class is full. We recommend contacting your campuses before applying to confirm available seats.

After Submitting

Completing Your Montana University System Application

In general, an application is complete when:

Your application fee payment was submitted and marked as received (if applicable).
You submitted your application and received an email confirming it was successfully submitted.
Your application Program Status is "Complete."

Note that your selected campuses may have specific requirements for completion (i.e., supplemental applications, official transcripts, document uploads, etc.). We recommend contacting your campuses directly to ensure you are meeting all requirements. Failure to submit all required materials may jeopardize your eligibility for admission consideration. Review each campus's homepage to ensure you are meeting all requirements.
