Admitted Student Checklist

If you’re a first-time, admitted student with fewer than 24 transferable credit hours earned after high school graduation, your next step is to complete the Reply to Offer of Admission form. You will also need to pay, or possibly defer, the $150 enrollment deposit. This confirms your intent to enroll at MSU and reserves your spot at SOAR (Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration).

If you’ve been admitted for the summer or fall semesters, you can request a refund on the enrollment deposit on or before May 1. If you’ve been admitted for the spring semester, you can request a refund on or before October 1.
