Transfer/Transient Students/Independent Study — How to apply

Transfer Students
Mountain State University welcomes applications for admission from students who wish to transfer from other accredited institutions of higher learning. To be eligible for admission to MSU, you must submit the following items to the Office of Enrollment Management:

  • Application for admission;
  • Official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have attended; and
  • A housing application or exemption form. Please note: Full-time freshmen and sophomores under the age of 21 must live in an on-campus residence hall, unless living with parent(s)/guardian(s), are married, or have dependents.

Credit for courses completed with a grade of "C" or better will be accepted. Transfer credits will be evaluated by Enrollment Services to determine which courses will transfer as equivalent MSU courses. Your assigned advisor will then determine how these credits will apply toward your degree program.

Transient Students
Students who are studying at another college or university may enroll at Mountain State University as a transient student by submitting an application for admission and documentation their home institution has approved their requested coursework for transfer. Transient students must complete a transcript request form at the end of the semester to authorize a transcript to be sent to their home institution so the credit they have earned at MSU can be transferred.
