Morehead State University

Message from Chloe...

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 students’ journeys with Morehead State! I am so excited to work with you, your school, and your students. In the coming weeks, I will be in contact with you to schedule a visit for the upcoming semester. Below are some key points that will help you and your students navigate their enrollment process with MSU.

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.

SCHOLARSHIPS: Accepted students have until August 2024 to meet eligibility requirements for our merit-based scholarships – attached are the scholarships for your convenience.  https://www.moreheadstate.edu/admissions/scholarships/kentucky

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!

Update from the Admissions Office:

OPEN HOUSE:  Saturday, January 22 beginning at 10am (EST)

·        ENROLLMENT DEPOSIT: The enrollment deposit is available and students can submit their deposit at www.moreheadstate.edu/confirm. Those students who qualify for a deposit credit have been notified and they should not submit the deposit. I can also send you a list of your students who qualify if you’d like.

·         SOAR: Once the deposit is submitted or students receive a credit, they can register for SOAR at www.moreheadstate.edu/soar beginning early next week. We are currently planning to have in-person SOAR events this spring and hope to have additional information soon.

·         HOUSING: Students can complete the housing contract once they submit their deposit (or have a deposit credit) via their MY MSU account. Additional info can be found at www.moreheadstate.edu/applyforhousing. Once their contract has been completed, students will receive an email for roommate requests very soon after. Room selection will begin in mid-March.

·         SCHOLARSHIPS: I encourage students to complete the online scholarship application at www.moreheadstate.edu/scholarships. Many students will qualify for multiple awards and the vast majority of these Foundation awards can be stacked with our institutional awards. Additionally, accepted students will have until August to meet minimum ACT and GPA requirements. To be considered for institutional scholarships, students should be accepted by March 15.

·         APPLICATION FEE WAIVER:  We have extended our promo code beaker2022 until Feb 1 so students can apply free of charge. As always, if a student has an EFC of 0 or received free/reduced lunch, they may use  EFCZERO or freelunch21 respectively. If students visit campus, they may also use campusvisit to waive their application fee.

·         CAMPUS VISITS: We continue to offer in-person campus visits Monday-Friday – www.moreheadstate.edu/visit. We will also be hosting Saturday visits in February and March (dates coming soon). Students may also schedule a time to speak with me at www.moreheadstate.edu/admissiontalk.
