Apply and Register
Get Started in a Course or Degree
Program
Do I have to apply for admission?
It depends. To take Extended University courses, you do not have to apply formally as either a degree-seeking or non-degree-seeking MSU student.
If you are taking only these courses, you are considered an MSU Extended University student. You can enroll directly in the course and receive MSU academic credits upon its completion.
However, to take any other online courses or to enter a degree program (even if your coursework is primarily comprised of Extended University courses), you need to apply formally for admission.
How do I register for a course?
See the list of all
online courses.
If the course is offered through Extended
University, click on the linked course title
and read the course description. If you meet the
pre-requisites, follow the link to “Register Online,” where
you will be asked for your information and method
of payment. We accept MasterCard, Visa, Discover
or personal check. Students who have previously enrolled
at Montana State University may choose to pay using
their MSU MyInfo accounts. Once registered, you will
receive a confirmation e-mail, then another e-mail
before the course begins containing course startup
information.
If the course is offered through the Office
of the Registrar, you must be accepted into
MSU as either a degree or non-degree student before
registering. Once you are accepted, you will receive
information about how and when to register. Please
note that many courses have particular prerequisites.
You may need to talk to an academic advisor before
proceeding. In most cases, you will register online
with the MSU MyInfo system.
Do I have to be immunized before I can register?
Montana State University requires all newly accepted graduate and undergraduate
students, whether degree-seeking or non-degree, to
show proof of immunization against certain diseases
before registration. Students who are both taking only Extended
University courses and not seeking a degree
are exempt.
The requirement may be waived, however, if you are
taking only online courses.
If you are taking only online courses and not physically coming to campus,
please call Student
Health Services at (406) 994-2311 if an immunization hold is preventing
you from registering or carrying out other student administrative functions. It is possible that the immunization requirement may be waived.
Immunizations holds are reinstated in November and April. If you are a continuing online student, you may have to contact Student Health Services each fall and spring.
Please note that if you register for an MSU on-campus course at a later date, you must meet the immunization requirement.
