The Office of the Registrar performs many services, including scheduling courses, registering students for classes, providing certifications, updating and maintaining student records, processing transcripts, and veteran certification.

Schedule of Classes

The schedule of classes is available online. A printable PDF version is also available.

Important Advising Note

All new degree-seeking students must see an advisor before registering for classes. Your advisor will give you a copy of your degree audit (DARS) report.

To receive an updated copy of your degree audit report, your "roadmap" toward a degree, you are strongly encouraged to continue to meet with an advisor prior to each registration. You can also produce a DARS report for yourself at any time by accessing the STAR online system. This reduces the risk of completing unnecessary coursework.

Registration Methods

You may choose from four different registration options:

  • in-person in your advisor's office
  • in-person in Registration & Records

Section Changes

Section changes are allowed during the first week of a regular semester and the first four days of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. After these dates, the instructors' approvals must be obtained for section changes. Forms for doing this may be obtained in the Registration Office or in your College dean's office.

Course Add/Drop

Adding Courses: Students may add a course during the first week of a regular semester, the first four days of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. To avoid missing valuable class time, you should make additions as early as possible.

Dropping Courses: You may drop a course without receiving a grade during the first four weeks of a regular semester and the first two weeks of an 8-week session, and the first three days of a 4-week session. Signatures are not required; however, refunds are reduced based on the date the course is dropped.

After initial Drop Period: After four weeks of a regular semester, two weeks of an 8-week session, and one week of a 4-week session, you will receive either an "EX" grade (which has no effect on GPA) or an "F" (which will be computed in the GPA), depneding on your performance in class.

Withdrawing After Initial Drop Period:

  1. pick up a "Drop/Excused Grade Form" from your Deans office;
  2. complete the form and follow the directions provided by the College in which you are enrolled.

No course may be dropped after the close of the twelfth week of a regular semester and the fourth week of the 8-week semester.

End of Semester Grade Reports:

Two options offer students convenient ways to obtain their final grades at the end of each semester. Unless a specific request is made through the Registrar's Office, the University of Missouri System does not distribute grade reports to students via postal mail. Final course grades can be obtained electronically by either methods:

  1. Web-based Grade Reports: Accessing your grades through the Registrar's Web Site allows you to see your grade after it is submitted by your instructor. To access this web-based grade reporting system, you must know your GatewayID and password. You can look up your Gateway ID online. Call the Technology Support Center at (314)516-6034 if you have any questions about your Gateway ID or password.
  2. MyView: To access your grades through MyView, you must know your student SSO ID and Password. 

    A printed copy of your grade report can be sent to you upon request at no charge. Your grade report will be mailed to your official address of record. Requests may be made online, by phone, mail, e-mail, fax, or in person. 

Transcripts

The Office of the Registrar will furnish the student a transcript of credits and mail official transcripts to organizations or other colleges/universities. Transcripts are furnished to students' parents/guardians or other institutions only if the student has filed written consent with the Office of the Registrar. There is a minimum $5 fee for each transcript.

Refund Appeal Policy

A student who believes a greater refund should be authorized due to extenuating circumstances than provided for in the established fee schedule may submit an appeal to the Registrar. The Refund Appeal Forms are available online. All appeal forms must be submitted within 90 days of the close of a Spring or Fall semester and wtihin 30 days of the close of the Summer Sessions.

Confidentiality

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 set guidelines and procedure for implementing the University's policy on student records. You have the right to review certain educational records that contain information directly related to you, including student financial aid, your cumulative advisement file, health records, disciplinary records, your admission file, and your academic record. You may, upon request, review these records and, if inaccurate information is included, request the expunging of such information from your files. Inaccurate information will then be expunged upon authorization of the official responsible for the file.
