Enrollment information

• Beginning Fall 2023, Clerkship students will be enrolled in their rotations based on the semester that holds most of the days of that rotation. If equal number of days are held by both semesters, the enrollment will be processed in the later of the two semesters.
• All students must review their student account and clear any negative service indicators before we can process enrollment. Please login at: student.msu.edu.
• Please remember you must communicate your rotation plans at least 30 days in advance of the start of the rotation to your clerkship resource specialist at com.clerkship@msu.edu. Requests under 30 days will be denied, including any change requests.
• If you should choose to take a personal leave or placed on academic extension, after your enrollment, bills, and financial aid are processed, your bills and financial aid will be impacted.
• Financial aid will begin to be disbursed roughly 10 days before the start of the term and refunds should be issued just before the first day of the term. Questions regarding your financial aid can be directed to: ofamed@msu.edu

Graduation Information

• MSU offers three separate conferral dates each year at the end of each spring, summer, and fall semester.
• All graduation requirements must be completed prior to the college determined deadline to remain eligible for that conferral date, this includes clearing all ET grades, COMLEX requirements, RECR requirements, and all other Clerkship Program requirements.
• The conferral date is the date that will appear on your transcript and diploma. The commencement ceremony is the day you walk across the stage.
• HOLDs on your account at the time of conferral will delay and/or prevent your diploma from being issued.
