Students are expected to be familiar with all University regulations and information set forth in this publication or any amendments to or modifications thereof.

This list is meant to be illustrative only and not exhaustive.

Montana State University-Northern places full responsibility upon the student for registering for the proper courses and for fulfilling all requirements for a degree as set forth in this bulletin, as amended from time to time. No agent or employee of the University has the authority to warrant graduation, the attainment of any type of license, or the attainment of any other career goal. The institution does not accept responsibility for delays in graduation or attainment of career goals resulting from errors in graduation, canceled courses, time schedule changes, changes in degree requirements, or similar changes, or for errors resulting from consultation with and reliance upon any information acquired from any University employee. Advisor’s signatures on pre-registration, drop-add, or similar cards or forms do not necessarily indicate agreement with or approval of the student’s choice of courses, nor may they be construed in any way as a warranty that the student’s choice of courses is sufficient for graduation or attainment of any career goals.

The reader is herewith notified that this catalog is not an exhaustive source of official University policy and is encouraged to refer to the college or program handbooks of any academic area in which he/she is interested.
