Admission to Michigan State University is competitive. Interested students should submit an online application for admission. Michigan State uses rolling admission for transfer students. Decisions are typically made approximately 12 weeks after all application materials are received. For maximum admission and scholarship consideration, you are advised to apply six months prior to your desired semester of enrollment. International students applying for Fall Semester admission are encouraged to apply during the fall of the prior year for maximum consideration. Certain limited enrollment majors have additional admission requirements and deadlines.
Applications are valid for one year beyond the semester of submission. It is not necessary to submit a new application form or application fee during this period. To be considered for an alternate semester, contact the Office of Admissions before the application expires. Students should also provide an up-to-date transcript, a list of current courses, and a list of other activities (such as employment) occuring between the application submission date and start of desired semester of enrollment.
