We offer support for first-generation students

More than a third of MSU undergraduates are students whose parents have not earned a four-year degree (or “first-generation”). If that’s you, we have classes, student organizations and programs just for you. Start by exploring our first-gen student support website, with information on academics, financial considerations and family involvement.

We value ethical behavior, and always want to know how we can improve. If you have a concern about ethics, we encourage you to report it. If you’re uncomfortable discussing your concern with an official, a third-party hotline service is available. You can connect with the hotline by phone or online, 24/7. Reports may be made anonymously. Examples of reportable issues include, but are not limited to:

  • Misuse, theft or embezzlement of university funds or property.
  • Waste of university resources, funds or property.
  • Bribes or kickbacks.
  • Research or scientific misconduct.
  • Falsification of contracts, timesheets, reports or other records.
  • Discrimination against an employee or student on the basis of a protected class (e.g., race, sex, disability, etc.).
