Welcome

Your registered addresses

MSU students should have one or more addresses registered with the Office of Registrar.  The Office of Study Abroad (OSA) pulls this information from STUINFO and will send communication to you based on the addresses you have provided:

1. Local: The address at which you reside while MSU is in session. OSA will send communication to this address when MSU is in session during the fall and spring semesters, including spring break.
2. Permanent: The address at which you reside when MSU is not in session. Often this will be your parent's address.  OSA will send communication to this address during winter break and the summer.

Please note that student account bills are not sent to either address. Bills are sent electronically.   You will be notified via your MSU e-mail account when a bill is ready to be viewed online.

For non-MSU students, the address you indicated on your Lifelong Education application will be used for all postal communication from the Office of Study Abroad.  Please note that you will not receive any bills in the regular mail.  The electronic billing and payment system will automatically send an e-mail notification to your MSU e-mail account (provided by MSU when you applied) when a bill is ready to be viewed online.  Therefore, you must regularly check your MSU e-mail account!  All e-mail communication from OSA will be sent to the e-mail address on your application.  Use help.msu.edu/newstudent to activate your MSU e-mail account.

Check with STUINFO to ensure your addresses are up-to-date.  Do NOT contact the Office of Study Abroad to make any address changes.  If you need to change your address, do so through the Registrar’s Web site.

All e-mail communication from the Office of Study Abroad will be sent to your MSU e-mail account (for MSU students) or the e-mail address on your Lifelong Education application (non-MSU students).
