Advising and Enrollment Information

 

Advising and Enrollment at MSU:

Once the “Summer 2023 New Student Orientation” D2L experience course has been completed, students will be referred to connect with an academic advisor by appointment between June and July for advising and enrollment. College advisors – not the NSO office – will reach out to students directly to schedule an advising appointment and communicate next steps regarding enrollment.

Please review the following information regarding advising and enrollment as it will be helpful as you connect with your advisor, discuss the upcoming semester, and begin enrolling in your first semester of classes.

NOTE: An NSO hold will be placed on all new students account as they complete their Orientation process. The hold will be removed by your academic advisor after attending your advising appointment.

All new students must complete the ‘Summer 2023 NSO’ D2L course AND schedule their advising appointment before the enrollment process can begin. Since advising and enrollment occur consecutively, be sure to complete your NSO D2L content by the extended deadline of June 14, 2023 to receive information from your advisor on how to schedule your advising appointment and start the enrollment process.

Please note that the New Student Orientation office does *not* have your advising appointment information nor has information regarding when a College/advisor will make contact with an individual student. All advising and enrollment questions must be directed to your advisor.

Before Enrolling in Your Courses – Use the “Validation” Feature:

Prior enrolling in courses, it is recommended that classes are added to the Shopping Cart and are “validated” to confirm you are ready to enroll.

The validation will check for prerequisites and alert you to any approvals that are needed, time conflicts and list any holds that would prevent enrollment. Then, when it is time for enrollment, you will be ready to do so with ease.
