We Are Montana2017 State of the University Mid-Year Report

“The University – it shall prosper.”UM President Oscar J. Craig 1895-1908

“We Are Montana" is not just a

slogan. The University of Montana is

proud of its heritage and particularly

proud of its students and alumni. We are

resilient in the face of current

challenges. We are skeptical about quick

fixes, and we are fundamentally confident

about our future, just as President Oscar

Craig was over a century ago.

Enrollment Dynamics

Graduating class for Spring 2017 is 1000 students higher than last fall’s incoming class.

Last fall, we launched the UM Application, mailing invitations to apply to more than 30,000 prospective students.

8000 students currently participating in “RaiseMe” program designed to award micro scholarships to high school students.

Eliminated registration cancellation policy and registration holds to remove barriers to enrollment and enhance retention.
