New Racer Academy Students

Think dual credit may be for you? Do this NOW: 

• Talk to your guidance counselor about your plans.

• Create an online account and submit your free online application. (We need the Racer Academy application even if you are already admitted to Murray State.) If you are asked for an application fee, that means you are in the wrong application. Contact us for assistance! 

• Ask your guidance counselor to send your transcripts to msu.raceracademy@murraystate.edu. 

If you change your mind about taking a dual credit course, e-mail us at msu.raceracademy@murraystate.edu.
