Enrollment Deposit

Transfer students: If you’ve earned 24 or more college credit hours after graduating from high school, you must complete an online transfer orientation and meet with an advisor to enroll in classes. Check out your next steps on our admitted transfer student checklist.

Nontraditional students: Are you 22 years of age or older? Married and/or have children? Haven’t been in school for an extended period? Planning on primarily taking evening courses? If at least one of these describes you, then you can attend orientation and register through Adult Student Services.

You can pay your enrollment deposit by completing the Reply to Offer of Admission form. 

Having trouble paying the deposit? Contact Admissions at 417-836-5517 or email Admissions@MissouriState.edu.

If you choose to defer your enrollment deposit, you can wait until your financial aid is applied before paying it. You will also be able to register for SOAR and complete other admitted student steps. Your enrollment deposit will just be applied to your first semester bill instead of having to pay it right away.

If we determine you're eligible to defer your enrollment deposit, you will have the option to do so when you reply to your offer of admission.

To request a refund, please complete the Withdraw My Admission Offer form.
