Bringing your credits to MSU is a multi-step process that begins the moment you apply. Official transcripts are reviewed by the Office of Admissions, and once you are admitted, a formal credit evaluation is added to your Student Information System account.
Send your final transcripts to the Office of Admissions as soon as you are admitted to get the process started!
You don’t have to wait for an admission letter to see how your courses might transfer. MSU maintains a comprehensive database of equivalencies for thousands of courses from institutions worldwide. This tool is your first stop for degree planning.
Use the transfer equivalency tool to look up your current school and see how your credits have historically transferred to MSU.
Sometimes a course from your previous institution doesn't have a direct equivalent at MSU, or you believe a transfer course could or should fulfill a specific major requirement. In these specific cases, you can request a formal syllabus review. This enables faculty to accurately assess the rigor and content of your previous work to determine credit eligibility. Talk to your admissions counselor about this process.
Wherever you are in your transfer journey, just starting to explore MSU, newly admitted, or already settling in as a Spartan, there’s support designed with you in mind. Take a look to find the resources that match where you are now and help you take your next step with confidence.
