Admissions and Enrollment

Metropolitan State University of Denver uses two categories to classify applicants: those who are 19 years of age and younger and those who are 20 years of age and over. This includes U.S. citizens, permanent residents, asylees/refugees and non-citizens. Based on the university’s modified, open admission policy, each category, including International Students, follows its own admissions requirements and procedures.

MSU Denver students who have not attended the university for three consecutive semesters must submit an application for readmission. 

All continuing students in good standing and all applicants accepted to MSU Denver are eligible to register each semester.

Students are responsible for ensuring that their address and phone number on file with the university are correct and up-to-date. Address changes may be made through the Student Hub.

Information on the registration procedure, registration dates, and student responsibilities and obligations related to registration is available at the Student Hub.
