Incoming Undergraduate Procedures

All new students are required to live in the residence halls their first year at Montana Tech. Living on campus will help you become more connected and engaged with the campus community and improve your academic experience. There are three halls available with a variety of room options to choose from. Housing is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. If you would like to request a specific hall or a single room, apply early. Applications received before April 1st will receive priority consideration.

You can find the housing application on your Personal URL website, the same site where you applied for admission. For complete details on each residence hall, housing costs, meal plan options, and how to apply, visit the Residence Life pages

Class registration for new incoming students opens in May for the Fall/Summer semesters or November for the Spring semester and remains open until the Friday before classes begin. Follow the steps below to complete the registration process.

  1. REVIEW YOUR ADMISSION FILE!

    To register for classes, we must have official test scores (or equivalent) and MMR Immunization on file in admissions. If either of these items is missing from your admission file, you are not yet eligible to register for classes. Review your admission checklist on your personal URL/personalized Montana Tech website and submit any remaining items as soon as you are able.

    No ACT or SAT scores? No problem. Go to our testing page to learn about other options and please don't hesitate to ask us questions: mtech.edu/testing/

Navigate to the "Get Registered for Classes!" link on your PURL, or contact the Admissions Office at 406-496-4791 or admissions@mtech.edu. We will verify your admissions file is complete, and if so, send your information to your academic advisor for registration.
