We do not allow students to arrive late without prior approval.

You should report to MSU by the date listed on your I-20/DS-2019 and no later than the date listed on your I-20/DS-2019. Only under special circumstances may students be allowed to arrive after this date. These circumstances are limited to difficulties in obtaining a visa in a timely manner, unavailability of plane tickets or family emergency. In such cases students need to obtain a letter of extension which would allow them to come late and still be able to register for classes. Please contact the Kearney International Center for more information at isss@mnsu.edu.
