Transfer Courses
Current MSU students considering transferring courses from another college or university as a Guest Student should follow the steps below to ensure that course work does transfer to and is evaluated by MSU in a timely and accurate fashion.

1. Discuss appropriate courses with your academic advisor.
2. Check the MSU Transfer Equivalencies page ("ACTS4") to determine if the course you want to transfer meets a requirement in your major. (The "Basics" column does not apply to current MSU students.) If you are unsure of how to read the charts, ask your advisor to review the information with you.
3. Check the summer schedule of the college/university you wish to attend to determine if the course you want is offered. Inquire about enrollment and registration procedures.
4. If the institution is in-state, you must submit the Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest Application to the Office of the Registrar for certification of your academic standing. You can do this by going to: http://www.reg.msu.edu/ROInfo/EnrReg/GuestStatus.asp. Click on "Generate Your Michigan Uniform Undergraduate Guest Application," fill out and submit form, and wait for a reply from the Registrar's Office. The Guest Application should then be sent to the institution you plan to attend. Or you may pick up a copy of the guest application form from 1415 EB.
5. If you are considering a course that is not listed on the MSU Transfer Equivalency's web page, you should have the course evaluated by the appropriate MSU department before you enroll in it. Obtain a Guest Course Approval Form from 1415 Engineering Building or 150 Administration Building. Bring a copy of the college/university's catalog and course descriptions to the MSU department that offers the equivalent course for approval. Complete the form, obtain the appropriate signatures, and take it to 250 Administration Building.
6. After you have completed the course(s), you must request that the college/university you attend mail an official transcript to MSU so that you can receive credit toward your MSU degree. Have the transcript mailed to:
