Dear Friendship House MSU Student Community,
This is your invitation to sign up to be a part of our community and to register for our 2025 Spring semester of classes which begin on Monday, January 13th.
We plan to offer as many of our classes in a hybrid format (in-person here at the house as well as via Zoom).
We have two simple steps to register for the Summer semester and to be a part of our community;
Step 1 is to sign up for our community for only NEW students. To be a part of our community and to register for the 2025 Spring semester.
Step 1′ is to register for the 2025 Spring semester for only RETURNING students.
Step 2 is for All NEW or RETURNING students to take the 2025 Spring semester and pay a one-time semester fee of $25.00 per student. The cost of registering for the semester is $25.00, which allows you access to all classes that we offer this new semester. If you have difficulty paying for this, please let us know.
God’s Blessings to each of you, and we look forward to seeing you in class (or virtually) at the Friendship House next semester!
