To ensure a smooth transition to Missouri S&T for the Fall 2010 semester, here's a good outline to follow. Much of the information referenced can be found in your acceptance packet (the big green folder mailed to all admitted students).

If at any point you feel lost or overwhelmed, relax! Call or email your admissions counselor or contact the New Student Program's office at 573-341-4025, 1-800-266-9035, pro@mst.edu, and we'll help you through the process.

After you've registered for PRO, review your confirmation brochure and schedule before your PRO date.

Registering for PRO reserves your place in our freshman class. Priority registration is May 1, 2010 and you may register online using the link at left or by completing the registration care included in your acceptance packet.

When you come to campus for your PRO date, bring a list of questions you may have about Missouri S&T. You'll have the opportunity to meet an academic advisor, register for classes, take your math placement test, get your student ID card, and more.

Placement Tests

Proper math placement helps you develop a successful fall semester schedule.  During PRO, you will take Missouri S&T Mathematics Placement tests to assist in selecting appropriate math courses.  The following are some tips that will help you prepare for these Mathematics Placement tests:  

1. 1. 1. Review algebra and trigonometry prior to your PRO session (use your high school algebra and trig text).
      2. Review actual Missouri S&T Math exams online at http://braintrax.mst.edu.
      3. Calculators are not permitted.
      4. Remember these exams are placement tests and are designed to see what you have learned in high school and determine which college courses are appropriate for your skill level.
      5. Placement tests start off easy and progress to more difficult problems.
      6. Your placement scores, high school transcript, college coursework and ACT or SAT test results will be reviewed by a math advisor.
      7. Please remember that calculators are NOT allowed on your math placement test.

Scholarships and Financial Assistance

Don’t let any scholarship deadlines pass you by! December 1, 2009 is Missouri S&T's priority deadline for merit-based scholarships. Admitted students who retake the ACT/SAT or improve their academic standing at their high school prior to December 1 will have their merit-based awards automatically changed. After that date, scholarship awards will be considered on a funds-available basis.

You may review your merit-based scholarship package from Missouri S&T online.

All scholarship opportunities at Missouri S&T are "stackable," meaning that we welcome all outside awards from local scholarships and scholarship opportunities from outside organizations.

DON'T FORGET TO SUBMIT YOUR FAFSA FORM BY MARCH 1, 2010. To qualify for need-based assistance, work study, etc. students must submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which may be completed online. Questions? E-mail sfa@mst.edu.

Activate Your E-mail Account and SSO

Activate your Miner Mail, e-mail account and Joe'SS account with the single sign-on that was sent to the e-mail address you supplied on your Application for Admission or home address. Questions? E-mail applysso@mst.edu.  

Check your Miner Mail (e-mail account) after your PRO session for updated information concerning your class schedules, Hogan Inventory, Opening Week, and Move-In information.  

Miner ID Card (campus ID)

All new Missouri S&T students receive their first Miner ID Card at no charge.  To receive your Miner ID Card on your PRO day bring one of the following forms of documentation with you on you PRO Day: a current driver's license or military ID card or an official Missouri identification card or U.S. Birth Certificate or Passport.   To ensure campus safety, it is against policy for us to issue cards unless one of these forms of identification is presented.

Housing

Complete the Housing Reservation Card included in your acceptance packet to determine your housing priority. In early February, the Residential Life Office will mail Housing Agreements (Housing Agreement form and Terms and Agreement). Rooming and roommate assignments are mailed in early summer, or you can view them using your Joe'SS account. Questions? Email reslife@mst.edu.

Specific information about housing options and meal plans can be found online or you can tour facilities at PRO. You may want to come a day early or stay an extra day to have time to preview Residence Halls and Greek Houses.

If you are interested in joining a fraternity or sorority, many organizations are available for you to visit at your PRO session. There is also a postcard included in your acceptance packet to request more information about Greek Life at Missouri S&T. Questions? Email greeks@mst.edu.

Final Transcripts, AP Scores & Dual Enrollment

Ensure that your high school sends a final transcript with final semester grades to the Office of Admissions after your high school graduation date. Missouri S&T cannot request final transcripts for you. If you have completed AP coursework, make sure those scores are sent as soon as available after graduation. If you have completed dual enrollment credit at another institution while in high school, request official transcripts from those institutions be sent directly to Missouri S&T after graduation.

Health History

Provide medical history immunization forms to Student Health Services by August 1, 2010 by returning the card included in your acceptance packet.

Parking

If you're planning to bring a vehicle with you, you'll learn more about parking at PRO. Questions? Parking website
