Catalog & Student Handbook
Official Transcripts
Applicants planning to enter MBC directly from high school or who have no college credit must submit official transcripts from their graduating high school or a GED report. Home school applicants, please see the MBC catalog for transcript requirements. The Admissions Office must receive official transcripts from all colleges attended by the applicant. High school transcripts are not required of applicants who have earned 12 or more college credits.
All transcripts must be sent directly to the MBC Admissions Office by the reporting school. A final copy of your transcripts, reflecting completion of all classes and/or graduation, must be sent if the initial transcript was requested while a semester or term was in-progress. Most schools require a written request by the applicant in order to release the transcripts. Contact your school to determine how to proceed.
SAT/ACT Scores
Applicants planning to enter MBC directly from high school or who have no college credit must submit a copy of their SAT or ACT test scores to the MBC Admissions Office.
Deadlines
MBC has no final application deadline. We do set priority application dates of June 15th for the fall semester and November 15th for the spring semester. Submitting your application before the priority date gives you priority for enrollment in courses and for living in our apartments. We encourage you to get your application in early, but if God is moving you toward MBC at the last minute, please go ahead and apply!
International Students
Applicants who are citizens of a country other than the United States will be required to complete the Admissions Packet to be considered for admission to MBC. Due to federal I-20 requirements, all international students seeking admission to MBC must provide, in written form, proof of the student’s ability to provide financially for schooling expenses, as well as all relocation costs to the United States and cost of living while attending school. All international students must also understand that if they have a family (wife or husband, and/or children), they must bring their family with them and have the ability to financially provide for them while attending MBC.
International students should consult the MBC website for information about applicable deadlines and additional admissions requirements. Students coming from a country in which English is not an official language will need to provide proof of English language proficiency in the form of TOEFL test scores or a letter from a professor of English.
After Admission
Applicants who are accepted to Montana Bible College will be notified by mail. An Enrollment Agreement and Housing Application Form will be sent at that time. This form provides an opportunity for accepted students to declare their intention to enroll at MBC and apply for MBC housing. Accompanying this form will be a Health Information Form. In compliance with Montana state law, we must have immunization records on file for all students taking four credits or more. Therefore, we require each incoming student to provide us with complete immunization records. In addition, we encourage all first-time students to obtain a physical exam before coming to school.
A student handbook will be sent to you to inform you of MBC information and policies that affect you as a student.
Once you have returned the Enrollment Agreement and Housing Application Form along with the corresponding deposits and the Health Information Form, the Admissions Office will contact you to help you register for classes.
