Students who are admitted after Monday, January 22nd for the Spring 2024 semester will be under a late-registration status for FIRST BLOCK and FULL SEMESTER courses. Once admitted, you will have to seek permission from the course's associated academic
department to enroll into a class late.

into SECOND BLOCK courses until Friday, March 22, 2024.
Nondegree-Seeking Admissions and Enrollment
If you are not seeking a degree, and you wish to take some courses, we can admit you
to Missouri State University as a “nondegree-seeking student” for undergraduate and graduate students alike. There is no admission fee for the
nondegree status.
Generally, financial aid is not available for the nondegree-seeking status.
If you have any questions regarding admissions and registration as a nondegree-seeking
student, please review our FAQs page to learn more, or you may email your questions at NonDegree@MissouriState.edu.
Who might want to be admitted through Nondegree-Seeking Services?
Visiting students (degree-seeking at another institution). Note: Please check with your own college or university first to learn the necessary credit
transfer process and find out which credits will be accepted.
Students who already have a degree but would like to continue their education for
personal or professional growth.
Students who are unsure about pursuing a college education but would like to explore
their possibilities.
Please 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
Consider the following before registering for courses:
For classes requiring prerequisites or permissions 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. Once
you have received the approval, please send the confirmation to NonDegree@MissouriState.edu.
Changes to Your Schedule Following Registration
Your MyMissouriState account will allow you to drop or add classes. Once your initial
registration for the semester has been processed, you may also call us at 1-877-678-2005 or locally in Springfield 417-836-6929 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.
