Students - Includes many student resources.

MSU want to help students prioritize their health and wellbeing while at MSU. The University offers a host of services as part of the Student Health Fee. These include:

Students enrolled in 7 or more credits are automatically charged the Student Health Fee each semester to have access to these services.

For students enrolled in less than 7 credits, you can choose to opt in and pay the Student Health Fee to access these services. If you are taking less than 7 credits and don’t use these services, you don’t need to opt-in. However, we encourage you to consider opting into the health fee to gain access to all these incredible services.

Graduate students can also consider community mental health services. MSU hosts a referral database for local mental health providers who have openings which can be found at https://montana.thrivingcampus.com/.

To support your overall health, you can also choose to opt into the Campus Recreation fee, which grants access to the recreational facilities. You can opt into student fees on your MyInfo page or learn more about MSU Student Fees here.
