Application Instructions

Applications for Admission are considered in the order in which they are received each semester. All credentials received by the university become the property of MSU Denver and will not be returned to the student. It is the responsibility of the applicant to notify the Office of Admissions of any changes to the application prior to the first day of classes. If changes are not reported to the Office of Admissions, the registration process could be delayed for subsequent semesters. Failure to report academic changes may result in rejection, dismissal and/or loss of credit. International applicants seeking to study on F-1 student visa should refer to the Admission of International Students section.

To apply for admission:

• Applications can be submitted online at msudenver.edu/admissions or are available from the Office of Admissions located in the Jordan Student Success Building, Room 180 at 890 Auraria Parkway, Denver, CO 80204. You may call the Office of Admissions at 303-556-3058 with any questions.
• It is the student’s responsibility to request that all required official credentials be sent directly from the issuing institution or agency to the Office of Admissions. Hand-carried documents delivered in a sealed envelope will also be accepted.
• Although an applicant’s college record may be summarized on one transcript, an official transcript from each institution attended is required.
• For information on obtaining records and receiving credit for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) and military training or other training, see the Alternative Credit /Prior Learning Assessment  section.
• The Admissions application and all credentials received by the university will be valid for two semesters beyond the term of application. Applicants wishing to attend MSU Denver after this period must submit a new application and application credentials that were not submitted and are outstanding.
• Applicants will be notified of their application status within two to three weeks.
