New Graduate Student Orientation
We are excited to have you join MSU as a graduate student!
When registration opens, please register for our fully online Graduate Student Training & Orientation (or ask your department if they will be registering you for courses).**
The course will be available for access through Canvas (formerly BrightSpace/D2L). The course is self-guided with no scheduled meeting times to attend, but the information is very helpful for your academic journey. We have the course open a few weeks before the start of term to help you transition and receive some guidance before your courses begin).
