Transfer credits
Admitted students with college or university credit will be able to access their official transfer credit evaluation shortly before their New Student Orientation by logging into MSU's Student Information System. Here, students can view their evaluation and see how courses completed at other institutions transfer to MSU. Students can also visit transfer.msu.edu to identify courses that may transfer to MSU.
Students transferring from two-year institutions may transfer a maximum of 60 semester credits for use toward a bachelor's degree. Course work assigned a grade of 2.0 or higher may be recognized in transfer. Any courses taken that resulted in a grade below 2.0 are not eligible for transfer credit. Michigan State University does not cooperate with any third party summer programs (e.g., LION International, AUIA, etc.) for transfer credit.
Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, students can receive transfer credit (meaning the university will accept the course) for courses taken during the spring term of 2020 at another institution if there is a grade of S in a S/NS grade system, or a minimum of a 1.0 if the transfer course uses a numerical grading system.
In order to receive transfer credit, official transcripts should be mailed to:
