Montana Residency For MSU

larilinesignYour advisor does not give a fuck about your residency status or any details of your tuition billing, so go on and tell them all about your big dream.

safarisamThis is a really, really bad take.

larilinesignYou think? Any questions I've ever had about money with an advisor has always been punted to "That's between you and financial aid"

safarisamMy role at MSU included advising, there’s a very hard credit rule in MT and if OP ends up at Gallatin College they absolutely need to express that residency is the goal to endure they’re set up on the right track.

larilinesignOh God @ModMommy you weren't kidding. I looked it up, holy smokes there's some serious in-state requirements for MSU.

Yeah OP you cannot claim in-state at a college in another state for 12 months.

So you can find the community college with the cheapest out of state tuition and online classes.

safarisamYeah, so many students were moving for school but trying for instate off the bat that they cracked the fuck down. It’s a bummer but they want that out of state $$$

Browland3Hello all,
I am an 18 year old from Michigan trying to chase a dream. I would like to go to Montana state university, but the out of state tuition is driving me away($27,000 vs $7,000 for in state). I have alredy been acepted for fall of 22' and am now in crunch time to decide if i want move and establish residency. I am here to ask if anyone has established residency in Montana before and wondering how much of a pain in the ass it was.

Browland3Thanks for all the suggestions for help. To clarify I am currently going to CC in MI and getting gen ed classes out of the way. I am aware there are tons of requirements to get in state tuition. My current plan would be to move out there in May to work a ton and begin to work on my residency. Then when school starts in the fall i can do half time which is 6 credits and still be able to work on residency. There are a crap load of hoops they make you jump through because rich people that had a second home in Montana were bassically finnessing the system for in state tuition.

Check this out: http://catalog.montana.edu/code-conduct-policies-regulations-reports/residency-requirements-for-fee-purposes/

They bassically make it almost impossible but i think i can do it.

Was just wondering if anybody on here had ever done it before or knew anyone that did it.

larilinesignOkay OP that's my final verdict and then I'll leave you alone lol.

Accept to offer to MSU and enroll as a full time student in any of their online undergraduate programs.

Move to Montana and immediately get an on-campus student job. Spend Freshman year working at the school and doing your online classes. Participate in student life as if you were an in-person student. Fulfill the other in-state residency requirements.

After Freshman year, submit the form to change your residency status. There's no denying you were present at the school if you've been working there and did a tax return.

Once your residency status is changed, switch your major to your desired majored.

Boom. Goodnight.
