Residents who are new and do not yet have a Mobile Griz Card will also want to request a temporary outdoor access card at check in until they get their Mobile Griz Card. Please note, temporary outdoor access cards can only be kept for 7 days, and residents will be charged if they are not returned within the 7 day limit.

Spring Big Sky Experience

Incoming first-year students at UM or the Missoula College are also expected to attend a one-day in person program right before the spring semester begins.  Families are welcome to attend for some morning programming as well. 

Prior to attending the Big Sky Experience, all incoming students should complete New Student Orientation, an online and interactive and video-based program which will better prepare them for their first year. Students can complete this program at their own pace, on their own time, and in the comfort of their own home!  It will take you approximately 1 hour to complete from start to finish, but you can pause and come back to it as many times as you would like.

This platform will include information about:

- Your Academic College and Resources
- Student and Campus Life
- Campus and Community Support
- Financial Matters
- Student Safety and Policies
- Bystander Interventions and Community Expectations
- and more!

Join your Student Life Team in some Snacks for the Road as you complete your Spring Big Sky Experience.
