Congratulations

You’re Admitted and Ready to Enroll!

Knowledge is confidence. Degrees open doors. Now it’s time to build YOUR future at South Dakota State University.

Your Jackrabbit journey is about to begin! It's time to make some important decisions for class registration and on-campus housing. The South Dakota Board of Regents and South Dakota State University President Barry Dunn announced our intention to return to on-campus courses, activities and housing for the fall 2020 semester at SDSU. Classes are scheduled to begin Wednesday, August 19.

South Dakota State University is committed to providing a safe academic experience for ALL students. In addition to increased safety measures and social distancing practices on campus, remote learning opportunities will also be available. Please contact our Admissions Office for one-on-one answers and assistance. These may be uncertain times, but your success is always our top priority.

Here are your next steps:
