Congratulations, here's what to do next:

Let Us Know

Congratulations on your admission to MSU!  If you have made your college choice, please let us know. If you have decided to come to MSU, we look forward to seeing you! If not, we wish you all the best in your future musical endeavors. Either way, please help us plan by responding to your admissions offers in your admissions portal.  See beow for specific details about accepting or declining an offer of admission.

Admitted Undergraduate Applicants

  • Declining admission on the Supplemental Music Application will result in your music admission and any music scholarship, to be canceled.  This action WILL NOT cancel your admission to Michigan State University.  You will also retain any academic scholarships offered.
  • Declining admission on the First-Year or Transfer Application will eventually result in the College of Music Application being canceled.  If you wish to decline in this manner, we ask that you decline both applications.
  • Accepting the offer of admission through the First-Year or Transfer Application will secure your spot at MSU and requires a deposit.  If you plan to accept the offer of admission, you must accept this offer by the advertized deadline (May 1).  Failure to deposit by that date will result in your application being irrevokably canceled.
  • Accepting the offer of admission through the Supplemental Music Application is not binding and does not require a deposit.  It also does not secure your place in MSU.
  • If you have been offered a music scholarship, you must accept that offer separately.  Accepting an offer of music scholarship does not automatically secure your place at MSU.  You must also deposit.

Admitted Graduate Applicants

  • Declining admission on either the Graduate Application or College of Music Supplemental Application will eventually result in both applications being canceled.  If you wish to decline in this manner, we ask that you decline both applications.
  • Accepting the offer of admission on the Graduate Application will not automatically result in your College of Music Supplemental Application being accepted, and visa versa.  We ask that you accept on both.
  • No deposits are required on either application.
  • If you have been offered a music funding package, you must accept that offer separately.  Accepting the funding offer does not result in accepting admission.  You must also do that as instructed above.
