Getting Started

We’ll be there to assist you - from your initial application through your graduation. 

Step 1: Apply to Missouri S&T

Admission application and acceptance rules for distance students are the same as those of traditional on-campus students with only slight variations in required forms. Go to Admissions and Enrollment for further instructions.

Step 2: Select your class

The Schedule of Classes will provide a listing of all distance courses offered each semester with the catalog descriptions. Each class link will provide the day/time of delivery, class number (needed for registration), class access information, a photo of the professor if provided, their email address and course syllabus. If more information is needed or some information is not available, please contact the professor.

Step 3: Enroll in class

First time students should complete the First Time Registration Form and Statement of Financial Responsibility Form and submit these to DCE.  Shortly after official registration is completed, you will receive a welcoming letter providing you important information needed to prepare you for your coursework and Missouri S&T’s academic experience.

Step 4: Live Stream/WebEx Testing

Our Video Communications Center (VCC) will conduct a live stream/WebEx test each semester on the Monday before classes begin. This is to ensure that your system is ready to go prior to your first class. Test information can be found at http://vcc.mst.edu/index.php?id=2289.

Step 4: Accessing Your Course

Prior to class you will access your course by calling the provided 800 number and clicking on the live stream link provided on your course web page

If there are problems accessing either live link or 800 number, please call your class’s control room number. A live person will be there to assist.
