Morehead State January Update


 Hello from Morehead State University! My name is Chloe Marstiller, and I am a new Enrollment Counselor with MSU; I will be your go-to person for the rest of the school year in regards to your journeys with Morehead State

 

ACCEPTED STUDENTS: Students who have been accepted can find their next enrolment steps at www.moreheadstate.edu/whatsnext. The next step is to submit their $75 enrollment fee, register for SOAR, and complete the housing application. If you have students who may be eligible for veteran/GI Bill benefits, please have them contact Jeremy Glover at jglover@moreheadstate.edu.


ENROLLMENT FEE/WAIVER: As in the past, we will require a $75 enrollment fee prior to registering for SOAR. Students can submit their enrollment fee at www.moreheadstate.edu/confirm.

 

For those students who need assistance with the enrollment and housing fees and meet one of the guidelines below, please complete this form and we will add a waiver to their account.

·         Students who are eligible for the federal National School Lunch Program (NSLP).

·         Family's annual income falls within the Income Eligibility Guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service.

·         Enrolled in a federal, state, or local program that aids students from low-income families (e.g., TRIO programs like Upward Bound).

·         Family receives public assistance.

·         Students unhoused or reside in federally subsidized public housing or a foster home.

·         Ward of the state or an orphan

 

SOAR REGISTRATION:  Students will be able to register for SOAR (freshman orientation) beginning January 9 at https://www.moreheadstate.edu/student-support/first-year-programs/soar/fall-sessions. SOAR dates are below, and students should attend the earliest session possible to ensure the best selection of classes. I encourage students to attend an in-person session and bring a parent/guardian if possible.

Additional MSU Foundation Scholarships – We offer over 400 privately-funded scholarships via the MSU Foundation. Students can complete one simple application to determine their eligibility at https://www.moreheadstate.edu/admissions/scholarships/foundation-scholarships

 

RECRUITMENT EVENTS: We plan to host several in-person events that will allow your students to visit campus this spring. Below is information regarding these upcoming events, and we’d love to have your students join us.


Open House:  Saturday, Feb. 10 (Main Campus) 10am-2pm  

 

Additional evening receptions will be planned soon.

 

FREE ONLINE APPLICATION: In addition to our traditional online application, we are excited to announce we are now on the Common App! Students can apply at www.moreheadstate.edu/apply or https://www.commonapp.org/explore/morehead-state-university. We will continue to offer a free application, and only request HS transcripts for processing. We will again be test blind for admission purposes – reviewing admission applications based solely on a student’s high school unweighted GPA. We will continue to use ACT/SAT composite scores and unweighted high school GPA to determine scholarship eligibility. Students will be unconditionally accepted with a 2.5+ GPA (2.0 – 2.49 will be accepted conditionally).  

 

CAMPUS VISITS: We offer daily in-person campus visits Monday-Friday and students will need to register at www.moreheadstate.edu/visit to arrange a time to check out campus. They will be able to meet one-on-one with faculty members, tour campus, visit our wellness and recreation center, see beautiful Eagle Lake, and much more! Additionally, if you’d like to bring a group of students to campus, we’d love to host you! To arrange your group visit please click here. We do have some funds available to help with bus transportation.

 

I encourage you and your students to follow @MoreheadStateAdmissions on all social media platforms to stay current on Morehead State news, upcoming deadlines, and chances to win weekly giveaways.  I look forward to working with you and your students very soon!  If you or parents/students have any questions or concerns, as always, please feel free to contact me via cell or e-mail – have a great week!

University of Louisville March Update

  Greetings from the University of Louisville! As  students begin to finalize their college choice and look towards next steps, we want to remind students that they will be able to find all of their next steps in their   New Cards Gateway . Our   First Time Freshman Guide   also details step-by-step information about any incoming first year student’s next steps. Any student who was admitted to the University of Louisville without test scores on file or who does not meet the minimum math and/or reading requirements for their academic program may need to take the   Accuplacer . The Accuplacer is a course placement test given by the College Board that academic advisors will use to place the student into a math or English course. As a reminder, UofL does not accept KYOTE scores to be used for course placement, and KYOTE scores will not replace a student’s Accuplacer requirements. The Accuplacer can be taken both on campus or online, and students who qualify for...
