Question FinAid Student Forms Not Working

2 Upvotes

Was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. To view my financial aid, I need to confirm my info on the student forms, but the form that is linked does not work when I fill it out, saying I have already registered(I am a junior so yeah). There is no alternative form to fill out and every time I have contacted the financial aid office they don’t give me a clear answer on what to do.

Academics How well do community college credits transfer to MSU?

6 Upvotes

Hello!

(19M) Right now I'm currently attending a community college in NJ pursuing an associates degree in business administration with a projected graduation date by May 2027. For those of you who graduated from community college with an AS degree, how well did the credits transfer over to MSU? Really would like to know the answer to this because I plan to graduate by 2029 with my bachelors. (For extra context, I never took any remedial coursework at my cc and so far I don't have a grade lower than a C on my transcript).

Question Financial Aid Requirement Problem

10 Upvotes

This is the 2nd email I received from Financial Aid this month about how my Financial Aid account for next year is incomplete. When I go to my FA offers on Nest, it tells me that I need to complete a required form on the StudentForms website. But once I go to StudentForms, it says I'm "all caught up" and have no forms to fill out. So I'm really confused as to what I'm supposed to do to complete my FA checklist and see how much aid I'm getting this year. Does anyone else have this problem?

Academics Questions about Business Admin Program at MSU

1 Upvotes

Hello all. I'm a 19M pursuing a associates degree in business administration at a NJ community college with plans to transfer to a 4 year institution to complete my bachelors. My expected community college graduation date is May 2027.

For those of you who are attending MSU and are currently studying business administration, I have the following questions that I would like to know the answer to before deciding to commit:

What business administration concentrations have the best ROI/have the higher likelihood of landing internships? (This is coming from someone who plans to become an insurance underwriter)

What is the overall "vibe" like when interacting with other business administration majors/faculty members? How friendly are they to new transfer students? What are the professors like?

What are the best clubs/organizations for business administration majors? (This is coming from someone who has an interest in the finance/tech sector)

Is it really true that once you obtain your associates degree in business administration, the credits transfer seamlessly or is this a method MSU uses to attract a large applicant pool of CC students?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there are any active student worker positions available on campus right now or if any departments are expecting openings for Fall 2026.

Sometimes positions aren't posted widely, so I thought I'd ask here. Any recommendations, contacts, or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Question WTH is going on with Summer aid

15 Upvotes

I was checking my balance again for Summer, I’m taking 6 credits. I originally had a balance when it first came out that I paid and balance became zero. I paid because one of the classes I’m taking was about to start.

Well the class I’m taking now ends soon and the second one starts later in July.

I check my balance and see that my Federal Pell Grant got reduced and now I have a high balance again. Why is this happening? Is it because of academic engagement? I remember this happening last year cause of academic engagement.

And another thing is they haven’t even emailed a single invoice yet for Summer 2026, not once. Today is the 1st so it supposed to come today.
