Application Submission Instructions

• Complete the application for admissiononline.
• Prepare your required personal statement.
• Pay the $50 nonrefundable application fee (drawn on U.S. funds) using Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, or an electronic check (online applications only).
• Request that all secondary schools attended, colleges or universities attended, or examination boards send original or attested copies of all transcripts, diplomas, mark sheets, and certificates directly to Michigan State University in an official, sealed envelope. In addition, where the original documents are not issued in English, also provide an official English translation of each document.
• Submit official high school transcripts if you have completed fewer than 28 semester credit hours.
• Provide proof of English proficiency (sent directly from the testing agency) if your first language is not English (TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, MSUELT, or MELAB accepted). MSU's TOEFL and SAT code is 1465. International students are encouraged, though not required, to submit SAT scores, if available. SAT scores are useful for determining academic admissibility, scholarship eligibility, and for placement in math and English composition classes. When scheduling testing, note that it may take a month or longer from the time of the request to send scores until they are received and recorded in the Office of Admissions.
• Please do not send letters of recommendation, photographs, portfolios, or additional personal essays unless requested by the Office of Admissions. Doing so will delay processing of your application.

Important: In applying, applicants must certify that all documents submitted as part of the application for admission are authentic. Any falsification of academic records through omission or misstatement may result in cancellation of admission and/or other disciplinary action by Michigan State University. Each student is responsible for all information contained in his/her application for admission. Students who employ consultants in the application process are still responsible for the content and authenticity of their own applications.
