Transfer students enrolling at Michigan State University have a mathematics competency requirement to graduate. The implementation of a foreign language graduation requirement at Michigan State University was postponed by the establishment of a moratorium on the requirement and is currently not in force. Some majors still maintain a foreign language requirement. MSU strongly recommends that community college students who have not taken two years of a foreign language in high school and who intend to transfer, consider taking a year of one college-level foreign language. LCC courses other than those appearing on this guide should be checked for transferability to the four-year institution.
Students are responsible for completing all requirements as stated.
The only official documentation of program completion status is an audit conducted by the Registrar's Office that is initiated when students apply for a degree or certificate. Students are expected to apply one semester prior to the semester they plan to graduate.
