Finalize Your Application and Prepare for Your Transfer
A complete application includes payment of the application fee, which is $40. The non-refundable application fee is payable by check, money order or credit card. There is no fee for readmission applications.
Active Duty Military and Veterans may have their application fee waived.
Mississippi State University will waive the admissions application fee for freshman applicants who submit an approved ACT/SAT or NACAC Request for Waiver of College Application Fee form obtained from and signed by their high school counselor. This waiver is need-based and not related to the scores received on the ACT/SAT test. NACAC also has a fee waiver for eligible transfer students.
Send Us Your Transcripts
You will need to send us your official college transcripts from every institution you’ve previously attended so we can verify your credits to ensure you meet our admission requirements.
