Hi, I am Deanne Jackson and I am the Registrar at Missouri S&T. We are located in 103 Parker Hall and we are responsible for all academic records at Missouri S&T. To stay up to date with current information, I recommend you follow us on Facebook and Twitter @SandTRegistrar.

We provide services both in-office and online. These include: official transcripts, enrollment certification letters commonly used for insurance purposes, academic calendar information, student academic regulations, course catalog, schedule of classes, and more. We also have a VA representative and Missouri Residency expert on our staff.

Joe’SS is our online student system. Students will use Joe’SS to access their grade information (both midterm and final), request unofficial transcripts, evaluate transfer credit, change their address, register for their classes, access their degree audit (a tool used for advising), submit payment for student fees, and more.

FERPA is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and is a federal law that went into effect in 1974. Students have the right to restrict information and have some control over the disclosure of their information. We can only release directory information – address, name, and that they are enrolled/not enrolled. We cannot release grades, schedules, or transcripts without written consent of the student. Students can grant others Additional Authorized Access (AAA) through Joe’SS and can select Student Account Information, Academic Information, Financial Aid Information and Directory Information to be released to authorized users. More information on how to complete this is listed on the Registrar’s Office website under the Joe’SS tab.

A friendly reminder from our friends in Admissions, please ensure you send in your final high school transcripts as soon as possible. Official transcripts must be sent from the high school and not the student.

Thank you and welcome to Missouri S&T!

Student Financial Assistance (SFA) helps connect students and families with financial aid resourse throughout your time at Missouri S&T. Student Financial Aid and Cashier have collaborated to present a video outlining information from both offices regarding your financial aid and billing account at Missouri S&T.  

More detailed information about financial aid offers and billing process are available in the accordion boxes below.  A full summary of financial processes will be available at Miner Welcome Bash in June!

By now many of you have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) which is used to determine eligibility for need-based aid as well as Federal Student Loans.

Just a tip* If you are unsure about applying to the federal government for financial aid, you can try a tool called the FAFSA4Caster, where you can answer questions for an estimated result without giving your personal private information. Remember – some scholarships do require it.

The FAFSA opens October 1 each year for the following academic school year. The Department of Education usually has a few wrinkles to iron out with their technology. If you go to a Federal Student Aid (FSA) site and experience issues, you may need to come back to it later.  

For Missouri residents and for the university, you should complete your FAFSA before February 1^st each year to meet the priority deadline for certain types of limited financial aid.

If you have not completed your FAFSA yet, you still can. And, just be sure you complete it earlier next year!

The Department of Education may require you to provide additional information to the Financial Aid Office, so sometimes students and parents will need to follow-up with us if we request any additional information. 

sfa.mst.edu/applying-for-aid/

• If you were offered any type of aid prior to February 1st, your student received an email (to the personal email used at admission) directing them to a preliminary aid offer in Joe’SS student portal. All incoming freshman with a financial aid award will receive an official aid offer letter (updated) in mid-March, and award offer notices will go out weekly after that for any newly awarded students.   
• First-time students receive a paper letter but will receive financial aid offers by email in future years. It’s important for students to verify their Missouri S&T email account is activated today as that is the official platform for communication by the Student Financial Assistance Office from here forward.    
• With your paper letter, look for the enclosed Financial Aid Guide for more information and guidance about your next steps.  
• The Financial Aid Offer Letter will include an estimated Cost of Attendance (COA) for the upcoming 20-21 year, which includes cost estimates for tuition & fees, housing & dining, and other personal expenses. Because the Board of Curators approves tuition & fee rates each June, we will communicate any updates to cost estimates via S&T email over the summer.
• The cost of attendance is not necessarily the exact amount you will see on your bill, but rather it is an estimate of annual costs which a student may need to consider.
• Students are able to view financial aid offers in Joe’ss, and the first billing notices will be sent by the Cashier’s Office on or around July 15^th. Once you have your first bill, you may want to follow-up if you need more resources. See below for more information about billing.

• Your student may have received an academic merit-based, university scholarship at the time of admission called a Groundbreaker Package. This "scholarship package" will be renamed based on a specific fund or donor, and possibly with more than one fund to the total amount awarded.
• The scholarship package is renewable for up to 8 semesters as long as your student continues to meet renewal criteria, like being enrolled full-time & maintaining a 3.0 GPA.
• Some academic departments also award scholarships. Requirements and amounts vary by department and most are one-year only with additional opportunities as you progress in grade level.
• In order to be considered for additional scholarships and/or departmental scholarships, you must complete the general application at – scholarships.mst.edu – each year by the priority deadline of Feb 1.  
• Students simply login with Joe’SS username and password to complete the general application, and the system will then recommend additional opportunities. Students can recheck this database throughout the year as new scholarships do arise.
• We also see students who are anticipating external scholarships from a high school or other community entity. You should report that information in Joe’SS so the amount can be subtracted from your first bill as “anticipated aid” until the scholarship check arrives.

sfa.mst.edu/financial-aid/scholarships/undergraduate/

• The Cashier’s Office will not mail paper notifications. Students will be notified of billing electronically each term. When the bill is posted, students receive an S&T email directing them to the TouchNet System for billing information. If a parent or family member also wants an email notification, the student must setup an “Authorized Payer” in the Touchnet System.
• Bills are generated around the 15^th of every month starting in July, and payment is due on the 10^th of the following month. 
• You may pay the amount due in full or make a minimum payment each month for up to 4 months. There is a 1% finance charge on balances if you make monthly payments.
• Student Financial Assistance and the Cashier's Office have collaborated to present additional information on the financial aid and billing processes in the following video:
  
  

 If you have questions:

• We encourage you to communicate with your student about emails they receive from our office and others like Cashier. S&T Email is the official communication method of the SFAO.
• Your student can contact The Student Financial Assistance Office and make appointments if needed. You can find us downstairs in Parker Hall or visit the Student Financial Assistance site.
• We are on Facebook and Twitter, where we post information throughout the year! You can sure follow us if you would like to stay informed on financial aid trends.
• If you have individual questions, please reach out to your Financial Aid Counselor.

Purchasing a Computer

• If you are looking to purchase a computer, please consider looking at The S&T Store. Not only do they have educational discounted pricing, but their Dell Latitude series comes with a 4 year complete care warranty, which includes accidental damage – even if the laptop is dropped from a moving vehicle (don’t ask how we know this!). IT Help Desk Techs are certified to repair computers and loaner laptops are provided during repair if needed. The S&T Store has a Student Computer Purchase Plan program which spreads the payments out over 4 semesters, with no accruing interest rate.
• The S&T Store also offers Apple computers and iPads with accidental warranty coverage available for purchase.
• Money saving tips: Think about buying your computer on Missouri’s sales tax holiday weekend, usually the first Friday, Saturday and Sunday in August. Look for special promotions from Dell and Apple during the month of July (To Be Announced Soon).
• Mac verses Windows – whatever your student is used to. Nothing is specified or required by any degree program.

Course Material

• We realize that college is expensive and textbooks add to that expense so we have some tips to save money.
• Reserve your books – We have a program called “Early Bird Textbook Reservation”.  You can sign up online at our web site www.thesandtstore.com. We will pre-pack your student’s books and supplies and have them ready for pick up in the store during move-in weekend.  By taking advantage of Early Bird, students will be more likely to receive used books because we pull those first.  You will have the option to rent books or purchase digital books at check out.  There is no obligation to purchase.
• AutoAccess Books. AutoAccess is a collaboration between the professor, the publisher and The S&T Store to provide required materials automatically when you enroll in the course at a reduced cost. https://www.thesandtstore.com/t-autoaccess_student.aspx 
• Use our Textbook Shop & Compare web site https://www.thesandtstore.com/t-textbook-terms.aspx. When you search for textbooks at on web site you will see the price not only from us but also from other online vendors such as Half.com, Textbooks.com and others. This will also insure you have the correct ISBN textbook number. (We cannot guarantee the accuracy of course materials from other online vendors.) You can have the textbooks shipped to you or select in store pick up.
• At the end of each semester, we host “Book Sellback”.  During this time you can bring your textbooks by the store and we will buy it back if the department is reusing that book for the next semester. You can also return your rental books at this time.

• Printing and software is available in all CLC’s across campus.
• For printing, students are given a 500 “shamrock” quota per semester.
• Software is available via our AppsAnywhere service and VDI.
• Library is open 24/7 with CLC’s and printers.
• Microsoft Office for students is free for up to 5 devices.
