Adding Classes 

During the Change of Schedule Period 

Students may add classes online during the Change of Schedule Period, generally through the first week of classes. If there are no registration holds on your account, you can add classes or switch sections through the Add or Drop Classes link in My Missouri State. 

First-time, new-in-college students register during SOAR Orientation.

  2. Complete a Late Registration Form.
  3. Obtain approval either: 
    • By email from the department, or
    • Through a signed and stamped form.

Registration Considerations

Registration Holds 

If a registration hold prevents online registration, you must resolve the hold with the appropriate office before you can register. 

If you were already enrolled in at least one class before the hold was placed on your account, you may request a schedule change by emailing the Office of the Registrar at Registrar@MissouriState.edu. All late registration policies and deadlines still apply. 

Waitlists 

Some courses offer a waitlist when all seats are filled. 

To join a waitlist: 

  1. Go to the course in the Registration page.
  2. Select Waitlist Online from the Action drop-down menu. 

Important: Joining a waitlist does not register you for the course. 

If a seat becomes available: 

  • A notification will be sent to your Missouri State email account.
  • You will have 24 hours (excluding weekends) to register for the course through Add or Drop Classes in My Missouri Stat 

Dropping Classes 

Before dropping:
  • First consult with your instructor or academic advisor  
  • Carefully consider the impact on your academic progress. 
    • Dropping courses may extend the time needed to complete your degree and could affect your enrollment status.  
  • Falling below full-time or half-time enrollment may impact your eligibility for financial aid, scholarships, student health insurance, campus housing, athletic participation, and, for international students, immigration status.  
Students may drop classes online through the Add or Drop Classes link in My Missouri State. 
 
Dropping Classes with a Registration Hold 

If you have a registration hold, you may still drop classes by using the Drop Classes with a Hold link in My Missouri State. 

Before dropping a class, carefully consider the impact on your academic progress. Dropping courses may extend the time needed to complete your degree and could affect your enrollment status. Falling below full-time or half-time enrollment may impact your eligibility for financial aid, scholarships, student health insurance, athletic participation, and, for international students, immigration status. Be sure to consult with your academic advisor and any appropriate campus offices before making changes to your schedule.
