Area residents interested in taking classes during the 2020 spring semester at Missouri State University-West Plains now can browse through a list of courses online.

The complete 2020 spring semester course listing can be found at wp.missouristate.edu/schedule.htm.

Over 350 classes will be offered during the spring semester. Courses include those available at the Missouri State-West Plains campus in Mountain Grove and online, officials said.

Early registration and 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, Nov. 4. The period continues through 12 p.m. Friday, Nov. 15.

Students can prepare for early registration by visiting with their adviser during Advisement for Success Kickoff (ASK) Week Oct. 28 through Nov. 1. 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.

During the visit, students can discuss their schedule and have their alternate PIN (personal identification number) released. The alternate PIN will allow students to register online through Missouri State-West Plains’ Grizzly Den web portal.

Once a student has spoken with an adviser and the alternate PIN has been released, the student may register for courses on the Grizzly Den website, 24 hours a day, seven days a week during the early registration period.

Students also may 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.

Officials remind that students are permitted to register during early registration according to a schedule based on the number of credit hours completed.

The early registration schedule for the 2020 spring semester can be viewed online.

Students are encouraged to register during appointed times, but they also may register after that time, officials said.

Help for veterans

Officials with the Veterans Services office will be on hand during these same advisement and registration times to assist veterans and their dependents with registration and required Veterans Administration forms, according to Mark White, coordinator of the Veterans Incentive Program (VIP) at Missouri State-West Plains.
