eCampus News - Spring and Summer 2012

Congratulations graduates and current students! You have completed your degree or are one step closer to completing your academic goals at M State. Keep moving ahead with M State's eCampus.

Important Announcements for the Summer 2012 Term Please remember to check your College email account regularly. The College uses your email to send important reminders and information regarding your academic career at M State.

Registration for Summer and Fall 2012 - Open Now! The regular student application deadline for summer 2012 eCampus is May 25. The visitor student application deadline for summer 2012 eCampus is June 1. Beat the deadline and be better prepared for success!

Registration is now open for eCampus students for Summer and Fall 2012. Register early for the best selection of courses and to prepare in advance for academic success. You can access the eCampus class schedule right from this page - see below. We know that it can be tempting to put off registration until the last minute. Doing so can interfere with your success and can also lead to your not having access to the courses you most want to take. So, do not delay - register right away!

For new eCampus students, you will need to talk with your advisor before registering. After you do so, you will receive an access code needed for registration. If you are a current eCampus student, we strongly encourage although do not require that you contact your advisor to discuss your plan for registration and to touch base on your overall progress toward the completion of your academic degree/program at M State.

Attendance is important! We want you to succeed. Attending and participating in your courses is vital to your success. It's all so much easier if you simply maintain a fantastic record of participation in your courses from day one of the term. If you do not begin attending/participating in class during the first week of any term at the College, M State instructors are required to record you as "failing for non-attendance." This "FN" grade will block your financial aid disbursement. If you know that you are going to be absent during the first week, please contact your instructor/s immediately to let them know.

Better yet, attend and participate actively from day one of every term!

Students should read the Student Handbook on the website for more information about important policies, procedures and services.
