The admission process at Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) involves several steps. First, applicants must complete an online application via the university website or the Minnesota State application system. A non-refundable fee is required unless eligible for a waiver.
Prospective students must submit official high school transcripts or GED scores. Transfer students need college transcripts. ACT/SAT scores are optional for most programs. International applicants must provide proof of English proficiency (TOEFL/IELTS) and financial documentation.
Once materials are reviewed, applicants receive an admission decision via email. Admitted students can then apply for housing and scholarships.
