GET TO COLLEGE CHECKLIST:
  • Visit with your counselor to make sure you are meeting all of the requirements of the post-secondary institution you want to attend.
  • Continue to take college prep courses. 
  • Retake the SAT or ACT in October or November.
  • Attend the College Fair at MSU-Billings
  • Check with schools you are interested in attending regarding application and other important deadlines. Make sure you meet their application requirements.
  • Continue to research and apply for scholarships to help you pay for school.
  • Send high school transcripts to colleges with your initial admissions application in the fall, and send your complete transcripts after final grades and graduation status are recorded.
  • Attend financial aid nights at your school.
  • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon after Oct. 1 as possible. The priority date at most Montana post-secondary institutions is December 1. (At the University of Montana, that deadline is Nov. 15.)
  • If you need help filling out the FAFSA, look for a College Goal Montana event in your community, or contact the SAF outreach manager in your area.
  • Evaluate financial aid packages offered by the schools to which you applied. Accept only the aid you need.
  • Compare the acceptance letters, financial aid and scholarship offers. Reply promptly to acceptance letters from colleges. Pay a non-refundable deposit to your selected college for tuition and housing for your freshman year.
  • Participate in summer orientation programs for incoming freshmen.
  • Register for selective service at the post office or online. This applies to males, 18 years of age. (You can’t receive financial aid if you don’t register.)
