Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

University of Montana President Royce Engstrom gets an update on enrollment at least once a week – and his vice president for enrollment reviews the data "continually," according to a campus spokeswoman.

"It is the policy of the university that enrollment data is shared after the 15th instructional day," said the spokeswoman, communications director Paula Short, in an email this week. "That is when the figures are truly representative of our enrollment numbers.

Montana State University also isn’t providing enrollment projections at this time. MSU spokesman Tracy Ellig said numbers will not be released until they are finalized – sometime after the 15th day of classes.
