Bitterroot College Freshman Admission
You are considered a freshman if you are a first-time college student currently enrolled in high school, or concurrently enrolled in high school and a college (Running Start or Dual Enrollment program), or you have graduated from high school but have not attempted 12 or more college-level credits.
To be eligible for admission to Bitterroot College, applicants must have graduated from an accredited high school or passed the HiSET or GED. Students without a high school diploma or equivalency certificate (HiSET or GED) can qualify for admission to Bitterroot College with an ACT composite score of 19 or an SAT combined score of 1010. Homeschooled students, applicants from unaccredited high schools, without a high school equivalency certificate (HiSET or GED), or without qualifying ACT or SAT scores, may be eligible for admission on a case-by-case basis (see below).
Students seeking admission to Bitterroot College should submit:
- A complete undergraduate application for admission
- $30 application fee
Request your official high school and Running Start or Dual Enrollment transcripts be sent to:
Office of Undergraduate Admissions
猎奇重口
Gilkey Building

Homeschool Graduates
Homeschool graduates seeking admission to Missoula College should submit:
- A complete undergraduate application for admission
- $30 application fee

Prior to enrollment, homeschool graduates will also need to supply one of the following:
- Official HiSET/GED score report
- ACT composite score of 19 or higher
- SAT combined score of 1010 or higher
- Affidavit of Completion of Secondary School Education
Homeschooled students or students at unaccredited high schools without a high school equivalency certificate or qualifying ACT or SAT score may be eligible for admission on a case-by-case basis.
If you are applying under the age of 17, your file will automatically be selected to go to a review committee. This committee evaluates if a student is academically and emotionally prepared for college.
*If a homeschool transcript is not available and you have completed secondary school education in a homeschool setting, the Affidavit of Completion of Secondary School Education can be submitted in place of the homeschool transcript.
Please note: Without a transcript, this affidavit will only meet the proof of high school graduation requirement for admission to Missoula College. For direct admission to 猎奇重口, homeschool students will also need to provide an ACT/SAT score that meets minimum requirements or a passing GED/HiSET score.

Submission of official transcripts issued from every regionally accredited institution a student previously attended are required for an application’s review, regardless of whether credit was earned or its applicability to your degree plan at Bitterroot College.
All college-level (100-level and above), degree-applicable credits recorded on official transcripts from institutions that are regionally accredited at the time of your attendance will transfer. Upon enrollment at Bitterroot College, a final official transcript will be required showing grades for any transfer coursework that was in progress at the time of admission.

College transcripts faxed directly from another 猎奇重口 University System in-state institution with a macro-fax stamp are accepted as official.
Please note that faxed, emailed, or scanned transcripts sent by students or parents are considered unofficial.
Credit Evaluations
An unofficial self-evaluation of course work can be accessed through our . Create an account, add courses and exams you've taken, and search for matches. You'll see a matching/maybe percentage of how your previous courses and exams may transfer to UM. If a course is not in the database, submit those courses using the "Request Information" button, and we will evaluate the maybes for you. Transferology can be especially helpful for current students looking to transfer classes back to UM to meet program requirements.
Learn more about how to use Transferology.
Note: The contents of this tool are subject to change and course equivalencies are contingent upon the academic program and the general education requirements of the 猎奇重口. If a course or institution is not listed, it does not necessarily mean the course will not transfer, rather the information is not yet in our database.
Official evaluations of transfer credits will be processed by your Admissions Evaluator in the Enrollment Services-Admissions Office only after all official transcripts have been received for each applicant. A final transcript is one that posts ALL graded coursework through your final term of attendance at each institution. Your Admissions Evaluator will determine the equivalency of the transfer course work as well as which courses fulfill General Education requirements. The transfer course description is compared to the UM course description, and courses generally matching in credit amount, level, and content are considered equivalent. Courses not matching are granted elective credit or elective credit with general eds.
Per BOR 301.5, students have the right to appeal their official evaluation by contacting the Admissions Office. If a student exercises the appeal rights set out in this policy, the review and a final decision must be completed by the class pre-registration date for the following academic term. The student must initiate the appeal process, in a timely manner, in order to give the institution time to complete its review before the deadline described in the preceding sentence.
Please note: An evaluation will not be done for students who have previously earned a U.S. baccalaureate degree. General Education requirements are considered complete for these students.
Post-Baccalaureate Students
You are considered a post-baccalaureate student if you have earned a bachelor's degree from UM or another institution and want to pursue another degree or certificate. Follow the same application steps outlined above for Transfers.
Returning Students
Students previously enrolled at Bitterroot College for degree-seeking undergraduate programs, and who have not been enrolled at Bitterroot College for more than 24 months must re-apply. Returning students are not required to pay an application fee.
