"UM is a great blend of great people and diversity with something for everyone in beautiful Missoula, Montana. What's not to love?"

Summer Orientation

Information about Summer Orientations will be available here as soon as possible! Make sure to check back!

We offer optional meals with the programs, hosted by our award-winning Dining Services program. Enjoy a "Taste of the Food Zoo" dinner on Wednesday evening ($8), and the locally-grown "Farm-to-College Luncheon" on Thursday afternoon ($8). We also offer complimentary continental breakfast in the residence halls Thursday and Friday morning.

Housing

Students and their families can get a taste of campus life and opt to stay in the residence halls during their stay at UM during Summer Orientation. We will supply the room with bedding linens and a pillow, but you will need to bring your own toiletries and alarm clock! You are also welcome to stay at one of the many fine hotels in Missoula. If the weather report is predicting sun make sure to bring a fan! The residence halls cost $17 per person per night!

Family Orientation

We know how important the students' families can be in supporting their education, so we have a concurrent Family Orientation where parents can learn more about the UM experience in a program tailored to their specific needs.

Families will learn about the transition from high school to college, hear about support services available to their students, and can connect with other families who are going through the same process of sending their students to college. You will hear from Residence Life, Curry Health Center, Dining Services, Freshmen Programs, Career Services, Campus Safety and many more! There is a $40 per person program fee for this Family Program.

Registration

Registration forms were mailed out to all accepted students in early April. Due to capacity limitations, Orientations do fill, so please register in advance if your schedule isn't flexible.
