Gallatin College Students 

Welcome and congratulations on your admission to Gallatin College MSU!

We are so excited you have selected Gallatin College as part of your higher education journey!  You have made an important decision about your future, and we want to help you take the next step toward your academic and career goals.  

 

 

Here are a few things to know about Gallatin College Orientation… 

  • GC Orientation is different from Montana State’s Orientation!
    If you are attending Gallatin College, you should not register for MSU’s orientation programming. 

  • GC Orientation registration is by invitation only!
    Due to limited space in our programs we restrict access to orientation registration to the students who have confirmed seats in their majors. Your future academic advisor will email you your orientation registration link when it’s time to prepare for orientation.  
    • Fall start students – expect your orientation registration information to come your way mid-March 
    • Spring start students – expect your orientation registration information to come your way mid-November 

  • GC Orientation is fully online!
    There is no need to travel to Bozeman to complete any of your orientation requirements.  

  • GC Orientation consists of two parts. 
    • First, students complete online modules that walk them through their degree or certificate program, college rules and resources, and the various platforms students will be using. We suggest students budget about 2 hours to complete their modules.   
    • Second, during orientation week, students must reach out to their advisor for registration instructions. The advisor's contact information can be found on the Academic Program Overview page provided in the online orientation materials. The advisor may require that the student make an appointment. In such cases, appointments are to be made in navMSU and are approximately 30 minutes.

  • Gallatin College offers multiple orientation sessions throughout the summer.
    We encourage students to complete their orientation early in the summer (for fall start) or winter (for spring start). The earlier the orientation, the more class options you will have! Due to limited space in many Gallatin College majors, delaying your orientation can result in a loss of your seat in classes.
