Project Pass

Project Pass - Program for Achieving Student Success

This is our enhanced services program. It is a voluntary program which provides extra support to incoming students in the beginning of their college career. Project Pass includes the following areas of assistance:

  • 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. This extra time allows for a more leisurely move in as well as provides two days of activities to ensure a more successful transition to college. (Vocational Rehabilitation may pay this fee). Participation in Smooth Move is required if taking CTS 101.
