Status of Application for Residence Halls

Application Status: Approximately three weeks after you have submitted your application, please log on to Cyberbear and review your assignment information and your currently assigned roommate. If you do not see a room assignment, please check back in a few days or make sure the correct term has been selected.

Applications are received and accepted throughout the year.    Applicants are assigned rooms based on a first come, first serve basis of the date of receipt of the application.    There is not a deadline for sending in applications.   Generally by the 1st of February each year many of our spaces are already reserved and the choices become more limited as we get closer to fall semester.

To log into Cyberbear go to Cyberbear.umt.edu and click Login, enter Student ID number (usually 790xxxxxx) -> Select Student -> Select Residence Life Services -> Select See your room assignment and roommate -> and Select Term of Assignment. After you get your roommate’s name, phone number and e-mail address, be sure to page down and learn about what to bring with you, move in dates, cancellation deadlines, room rates, and lots of other important information about Residence Life. Remember, if you are assigned to a Miller Pod, or Pantzer Suite your pod or suite mates may not yet be assigned If you are in a double room, you will be assigned a roommate at some future time even if one is not currently assigned. If you have applied for a single but are not assigned a single, your application would automatically place you on our waiting list. Access Cyberbear anytime after your acceptance and check to see if your roommate has changed due to cancellations. Please visit www.umt.edu/reslife for room photos, rates, dates and early arrival information, etc.

Cancellation of your Reservations: Room reservations must be cancelled directly with the Residence Life Office (Calling the Admission Office does not cancel the room reservation). If cancellation occurs before June 1, $200 of the prepayment will be refunded, if cancellation occurs between June 1 and July 31, $100 of the prepayment will be refunded. There is no refund for cancellations after August 1. If you apply and cancel after the deadlines, the same dates still apply.

Trouble logging in? Until you have received your acceptance packet from the Admissions Office, you will not be able to access Cyberbear. At that time please use your assigned student ID number, PIN (initially your birthdate formatted MMDDYY [May 6, 1982 = 050682] until you change it). If this is the first time you have logged in be prepared to immediately change your PIN#. The system will also ask you to provide a personal security question (example: What is my favorite color?) and answer (example: Blue) which will assist you in accessing Cyberbear in the future if you forget your PIN. If your PIN number for Cyberbear is not working, please call the Registration Counter at 406-243-6077 for assistance.
