  2. CHECK course pre-requisites by going to COURSE SEARCH (book image) click on the course section and pre-reqs will be listed on the right side of the page.
  3. Remember, concentrations courses are NOT LISTED on the flow chart thus you MUST look up the pre-reqs.
  4. Then make an advising appointment or attend drop-in advising so that I can review your plan and make needed corrections.
  5. Addingcourses to the SHOPPING CART is critical to ensure there are no time conflicts.
  6. ENROLL/WAITLIST for FS23 classes on the EXACT ENROLLMENT DATE & TIME.

NEW MSU Transfer Credit Policy – Transfer Credit Allowed AFTER 56 Credits (Junior Standing)

“Students may transfer a maximum of 60 credits from two-year institutions. Those credits may be earned and transferred into MSU at any time in the student’s degree.  No more than 10 of the last 30 total credits toward a degree may be transferred without approval by the Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education.  Only grades of 2.0 and above are eligible for transfer credit.”

  • This new transfer policy allows students to repeat classes at a community college (even after 56 credits)! Remember, the grade does not transfer, just the credit.  The repeat transfer credit will remove the original grade.

NEW  MSU Course Repeat Policy

“Starting summer 2022, a new course repeat policy will take effect that will apply to all prior semesters’ courses. This will allow undergraduate students to repeat any class up to twice (for a total of three attempts), regardless of the grade they earned in their previous attempt, and with a 20-credit limit on repeat credits.”

SUMMER ENROLLMENT @ ANOTHER INSTITUTION (transfer.msu.edu)

  1. Transfer.msu.eduwill tell you an equivalent course
  • Take a screen shot for your records

 2.  You need to apply as a “Guest Student”:

  • For Lansing Community College 
    • MSU students who wish to take courses at LCC do not need to fill out the guest application and need to go directly to the LCC application
    • For other Michigan community colleges and 4-year universities
    • For non-Michigan institutions
      • Please refer to the institution’s specific website for any necessary guest application forms
  1. Once you take the class you transfer the credit back by sending your transcript from the other institution back to MSU
  2. You can send the transcript electronically to Admis@msu.edu or via Physical Address and Parchment Service
