Day One Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is there a deadline to register?

   No, there is not a deadline. We will accept applications until we have 300 students admitted in the Day One Leadership Community.

2. Can I be in Day One and the Honor’s College?

   Yes, you can do both. During each of the last two years we have had several students participate in both programs.

3. Are Day One students required to live in Cresswell Hall?

   Yes, all Day One students must live in Cresswell Hall. We find this living arrangement creates a better environment for students to build better relationships with their peers.

4. Will my tuition increase because I am in Day One?

   No, your tuition will not increase because you are in Day One.

5. How do I apply for Day One?

   Go to the Day One webpage at www.dayone.msstate.edu, click on the Application button, and just follow the directions. The application is set up in such a way to allow you to work on it in stages. The only requirement for doing so is to complete the page you are working on and select the Save button at the bottom.

6. Can you explain the application process?

   Once you have submitted your completed application, it will be reviewed by a member of the Global Leadership Continuum staff. If the application meets the required standards, the applicant will be notified by way of an e-mail invitation to be in Day One. The applicant can then accept or decline the invitation.

7. If I turned in my housing application before I applied to Day One, how will my room assignment be changed to Cresswell Hall?

   After you have informed our office that you would like to accept the Day One invitation, your name will be added to a list that will be sent to the MSU Housing Department. Housing will then move your name to the Cresswell Residence Hall list.
