If you are not seeking a degree at M State, attend school elsewhere, or are taking fewer than seven credits, complete the Visiting Student Application.
Once you have submitted the visiting student application, our admissions team will register you directly into the courses indicated on the application. You will receive a confirmation email with your class schedule once complete, or a request for additional documentation if necessary.
Visiting students are not eligible for financial aid through M State, so we suggest that you ask your previous school's financial aid department about requesting a consortium agreement with M State.
