Acceptance of junior or community college work is limited to one-half the total requirement for graduation in a given curriculum. The last half of the total hours applied toward graduation must be earned in a senior college. Applicability of transfer work depends upon the equivalence of transfer credits with the requirements of a particular curriculum. Applicability varies from curriculum to curriculum, not only for transfer students from other institutions but for students transferring from one school or curriculum to another within Mississippi State University-Meridian Campus. In either case, the maximum number of applicable credits is the number of accepted credits.
Applicability is determined by the dean of the college or school to which one is admitted.
Non-traditional credits awarded by another college or university will be evaluated in terms of current policy at Mississippi State University. Unless the basis for awarding the credit is readily identifiable, no credit will be allowed until such time as the student, through the awarding institution, can establish the credibility of the work. Credits for ACT, SAT, CLEP General, or other comparable tests will not be accepted as transfer credit. Admission Process for International Students Submit an international application form.
