Post Acceptance To-Do List

Once you have completed your online application and you have sent us the required documents, you will receive a welcome package as soon as possible. It will include your acceptance letter and your DS-2019.

Once you have received the welcome package, please make an appointment at the Embassy of United States in your country so you can apply for your Visa. In the same time, we recommend that you proceed with academic advising and course registration. 

The study abroad coordinator will provide you with your academic advisor contact information. You will need to contact your academic advisor at Missouri S&T by e-mail and discuss courses that you would like to take.

Your academic advisor will work  with you to find courses which are suitable for  you to take. Exchange students are required to take 12 credit hours, this is typically 4 classes. The advisor will then remove the advising hold on your student account.

Contact the study abroad coordinator with an e-mail confirming which courses you will register for. The Coordinator will work with the Office of International and Cultural Affairs to have the international hold temporarily lifted  for a period of one week so you can register for your courses.

To register for courses, please log in to your Joe'ss account.
