Dear Prospective Student,
Thank you for your interest in Great Falls College MSU. It has come to the attention of the Admissions Office that you
have marked or will have to mark affirmative to one of the safety and security questions on the Admissions Application.
The safety and security of our building, faculty, staff and students is foremost in our minds. In order for our office to
further evaluate and process your application you must complete the following steps and return any requested
documentation.
Complete the Safety and Security Questionnaire that is with this letter
SIGN and DATE the Consent to Release Information which is located in the Safety and Security Questionnaire.
This release will pertain to arrests, convictions, probation/parole status and any treatment/rehabilitation.
Attach record searches or sentencing information from the court(s) for each felony. If you do not have your
sentencing paperwork, you may also provide a full Montana criminal history that can be obtained online at:
http://www.doj.mt.gov/enforcement/criminaljustice/backgroundchecks.asp. If your conviction(s) occurred
outside the state of Montana or was a Federal conviction, you will need to contact each state or Federal court to
obtain this information. Criminal histories downloaded from the Montana Department of Corrections website will
not fulfill this requirement. Please note that failure to submit this information will delay your admission
