It's time to start your checklist.

Now that you're an accepted transfer student at the University of Montana, it's time to head over to UM's Admitted Student Checklist to get a head start on your life as a Griz.

Knowledge? Yeah, we know a thing or two.

There’s more to the University of Montana than our mountainous academics … but, let’s face it, they’re pretty impressive. From finance to welding to forestry to law — we offer you more than 175 academic programs to summit success.

Tuition and Scholarships

For most students, cost of attendance is among the most important considerations when weighing your options for higher education. Luckily, we are experts at helping sort through the details!

FAFSA UPDATE

Your Financial Aid Offer

Due to the Department of Education’s delay in FAFSA processing, financial aid offers to students also have been delayed. UM will email you when your offer is available or if the Department of Education needs to recalculate your FAFSA. We urge you to check the status of your FAFSA here. You can also estimate your financial aid offer and cost to attend UM for the 2024-25 academic year using UM’s Net Price Calculator.
