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.

Mail College Transcripts to:
Office of Admissions and Scholarships
P.O. Box 6334
Mississippi State, MS 39762-6334

NOTE:  We only accept paper transcripts that come in a sealed envelope (marked "unofficial if opened") from the sending institution.  We cannot accept transcripts if the original envelope has been opened, or if the transcripts are printouts or photocopies of official transcripts. Faxed transcripts will not be accepted.

Send Us Proof of Immunization

All students including transfer and graduate students, born after 1956 are required to provide proof of immunity to Rubeola (red measles), Rubella (German measles), and Mumps (MMR).
