Visitors also have the opportunity to speak with representatives from the Office of Admissions and Scholarships one-on-one. There is no pre-registration for the Spring Open House but we would love to have a record of your attendance, so that we can continue to communicate with you.

BULLDOG FOR A DAY
This group visit program allows prospective students to meet with admissions counselors, tour campus and see all the opportunities MSU has to offer. Visitors are offered a presentation regarding scholarships, admissions, financial aid, and housing opportunities at MSU. In addition, campus tours are provided by MSU staff members that will fully acquaint new students and parents with the campus. Students may choose between an 9 o'clock morning session and a 1 o'clock afternoon session (Saturday sessions are at 10am only). Due to the volume of campus visitors this day, we will not be able to offer individual academic appointments.
