New Mustang Days
Priority Registration for Fall 2026 Classes
This program is designed with two goals in mind. First, we want to help you build your class schedule for the upcoming semester with help from academic advisors in your declared program(s). Second, we’d like to give you and your families the chance to get to know one another, and meet the people and programs at SMSU that are here to help you succeed!
Once you have RSVP’d please send all of your transcripts to admission@smsu.edu. Advisors will use this information when helping you register for classes.
