Is Orientation required?
Orientation is required for all new freshman and transfer students on the main Starkville campus. Orientation is the way to confirm a student plans to enroll at MSU. Orientation is an exciting event for incoming freshmen and transfer students (and their families) to gain information that will prepare them for their time at MSU. Students will learn about student life, hear from a variety of administrators, meet other incoming students and register for classes! For online students, Meridian campus and Gulf Coast campus there is a separate orientation and onboarding process. For more information, visit here.
