ASK Week
Current, readmitted and transfer students have the opportunity to register for classes during an early registration period beginning at 8 a.m. Monday, April 17, and continuing through noon Friday, April 21. They can prepare for early registration by visiting with their adviser during Advisement for Success Kickoff (ASK) Week April 3-7. Advisers will set aside additional advising time during this week to meet with students at times that are convenient for the students, officials said.
Students can make an appointment to visit with their advisers either by phone, via email or in person at their advisers’ offices to discuss their schedule and have their alternate PIN (personal identification number) released, which will allow them to register online through Missouri State-West Plains’ Grizzly Den web portal.
Once students have spoken with their adviser and their alternate PIN has been released, they may register for courses on the Grizzly Den website, 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the early registration period, or they can register in person at the registration and records office in Cass Hall, 515 Cass Ave., from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
