Let’s start simple: What kind of applicant are you?
Explore how your credits will transfer
The Transferology tool allows you to see how courses transfer to the University of Montana. Create an account, add courses you've taken and search for matches. You'll see how your previous courses may transfer as credit to UM.
There Are Two Ways to Apply to UM
Once you are ready to apply as a transfer student, you'll select the application option
that best fits your needs:
The Common App is a shared application that allows you to apply to multiple nationwide schools simultaneously.
We recommend that students who are planning on applying to multiple schools nationwide
use the Common App.
Apply Montana allows students to apply to multiple colleges in Montana at once. We recommend Montana
residents use the Apply Montana application. The application is free for Montana residents.
Explore admission requirements
Transfer student applicants must present a 2.00 (C) cumulative grade average (on a 0-4 scale) for all college level work attempted to be eligible for admission.
