New Student Orientation is separate from course registration and is for all incoming first-time freshmen, adult learners, and transfer students. This engaging two-day experience is designed to welcome you to Montana State University Billings and set you up for success.
You’ll connect with fellow Yellowjackets, explore campus resources and student services, discover clubs and organizations, and participate in helpful workshops that prepare you for your first year. Orientation also offers opportunities to meet residence hall staff, build friendships, and get comfortable navigating campus while experiencing everything MSU Billings has to offer.
