MSU BILLINGS NEWS SERVICES — Anyone in the Billings area who has been away from higher education for a time or has delayed getting started, can get the personalized assistance they need at a special event this weekend sponsored by Montana State University Billings.

 

“College Now” is especially designed for adults who, for any reason, have been postponing their college education and want to get back on track. It will be held Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to noon in McMullen Hall at the MSU Billings main campus, 1500 University Drive. It is free and open to the public.

 

Located in a friendly and convenient one-stop-shopping environment in the main student services area at MSU Billings, university representatives will be on hand to assist with questions on the admissions process, advising, financial aid and class schedules. And potential students can learn about how they can get started on their education pathways as early as May with special summer school schedules to fit their needs if they apply and register soon.

 

Those who attend can:

  • Learn about degree programs available
  • Tour the campus
  • Apply for admission
  • Meet with an advisor and register for summer or fall
  • Meet with financial aid counselors
  • Meet with faculty
  • Learn about additional services available for adult learners
