Missouri State Online Web Site
The Missouri State Online web site at http://msonline.missouristate.edu is
the best resource for Missouri State Online students. It provides comprehensive information
on program/course descriptions, application/registration procedures, and student
support. A "Getting Ready for Classes" CD ROM is mailed to each online
student at least three weeks before the beginning of each semester. The CD
ROM gives a
highlight of the Missouri State Online "Getting Ready for Classes" process,
and introduces them to their instructors. Instructors usually get a copy of
the CD ROM by the beginning of the semester as well.
