Montana State University Office of the Registrar

The Office of the Registrar at Montana State University is the official custodian of unabridged student academic records past, present and future. Academic records and official transcripts of academic attendance and activity are maintained and provided upon written request.

This office has extensive contact with students after their formal admission to the University, throughout enrollment, and finally to graduation. Perhaps no other office on campus has responsibilities of this variety and magnitude: to work closely with students, faculty, administrators and the general public, while maintaining contact with our alumni. The Registrar's staff plans and conducts registration for each academic term, maintains and updates academic records, interprets and applies academic policies, certifies eligibility for baccalaureate degrees, determines resident fee classification for tuition purposes, schedules all academic classes and classroom facilities, provides academic departments and faculty with student information for grading and advising purposes, verifies enrollment and degrees awarded, plans and directs the commencement ceremony, and determines eligibility for student participation in athletics, extracurricular and honor society activities, as required.
