Our advisors are here to help you learn more about how your credits may transfer and what your path might look like through your major of interest.


Contacting Your Admissions Counselor

Once you have completed your MSU application and submitted all your transcripts and supporting documents, please allow 8 to 12 weeks for your Admissions Counselor to review your application. 

During this time, if you have questions about your application status, please contact your Admissions Counselor directly. Your Admissions Counselor is assigned based on your current institution.
