Extra help during the student’s Racer Nation Orientation visit (No additional fee). SDS staff members are available to help with the selection of courses.

Smooth Move Into College - (Fee is approximately $150). Incoming Project Pass freshmen will move into their MSU residential college three full days before the rest of the incoming freshmen.
