Missouri State Outreach Registration Services help students get admitted and registered using the convenient course enrollment form.
UNDERGRADUATE-LEVEL STUDY:
I want to get a degree
Degree-Seeking Undergraduate Admission
Students (married or with children or 22 years of age and older) wishing to seek an undergraduate degree at Missouri State University (freshmen, transfer students, second-Bachelor’s-seeking, for instance) must complete the application process for admission.
Students in this category who are 22 years of age and older, need only provide an official high school transcript or GED. An ACT or SAT score is not required for admission. Submit the application (with the application fee) to the Office of Admissions.
I do not want to get a degree
Nondegree-Seeking Undergraduate Admission
Students who are 18 years of age or older and who wish to take courses but do not plan on pursuing a degree program may be admitted as nondegree undergraduates and do not need to provide transcripts. Students in this classification are not eligible for financial aid. Should the student later decide to seek a degree program they must still meet the requirements for regular admission as either a freshman or a transfer student. Coursework taken as a nondegree-seeking student might not always be applicable towards a degree program. Students that choose to change to degree-seeking status should consult with an academic advisor.
Students visiting Missouri State University for a semester but pursuing bachelor’s degrees at other institutions of higher education are admitted under this ND classification
Students not seeking a degree must either complete the online application or fill out and fax in the Course Enrollment form.
GRADUATE-LEVEL STUDY:
I want to get a degree
Degree-Seeking Graduate Admission
Students wishing to pursue a graduate degree at Missouri State University must complete the application process for admission.
I do not want to get a degree
Postbaccalaureate Admission (PB) (nondegree-seeking graduate)
Students who have a bachelor’s degree and wish to return to take additional courses, but do not wish to pursue an additional degree, may enroll as PB students without providing transcripts. PB students may take either undergraduate or graduate courses (courses number 600 and higher automatically carry graduate credit for students in the PB classification) the only limitation is that no more than nine hours of graduate credit may be accumulated under this classification. A maximum of nine hours of graduate credit earned as a PB student can be applied toward a graduate degree at Missouri State University, and this application of credit is contingent upon program requirements.
Students not seeking a degree must either complete the online application or fill out and fax in the Course Enrollment form.
IMPORTANT ITEMS TO NOTE:
Before you may register you must obtain your advisor release if you are a:
- degree-seeking undergraduate with fewer than 75 hours
- graduate degree-seeking student
- first-time transfer student
- student on probation
For classes requiring prerequisite or permission or for restricted-level classes, you must contact the academic department (or in some cases, the instructor) and request approval in order to be able to register into that particular class.

Please note: We can assist you by processing your registration using this form; however, any prerequisite overrides, permissions, or other restrictions will need to be arranged by you with the academic department (or instructor) before we will be able to register you.
Changes to Your Schedule Following Registration
Your MyMissouriState account will allow you to drop or add classes. Or if you wish, you may, once your initial registration for the semester has been processed, call us at 1-877-678-2005 (836-4126 in Springfield) for help with dropping or adding a class.
You may also withdraw from the entire semester’s schedule of classes; however, remember that you must do so before the end of the first week of classes – if 16-week classes – or you will be charged for the class(es). Failure to attend a class does not automatically drop you from the class.
