Add/Drop Policy for Online Students

Electronic ADD and DROP Available
  1. Contact the Instructor for approval and to obtain a permission number. (Permission numbers are available on the first day of classes.)

  2. Log into Joe'SS and add the class to your schedule. (Classes can only be added during the first two weeks of the semester.)

Online students need to email stgrad@mst.edu or call 573-341-6903 for any of the following issues:

  • registration holds
  • advising holds
  • first-time college
  • exceeding permissible hours
  • time conflict

Log into Joe’SS to drop the desired course. (Make sure you check the drop deadlines and refund periods).

Once the semester starts, you can no longer drop all your classes through Joe'SS. Please see 'Withdraw from the semester/program' below for directions on dropping all courses for the semester or withdrawing from your program.

If you need to drop a class and add a new section, make sure to get all your section changes done during the first week of classes to take advantage of the 100% refund. 

If you are requesting to withdraw from a semester completely, then you will need to attempt to drop the course in Joe’SS and then when it tells you that you cannot drop the course, there will be a “survey” you will need to complete and once you have completed the survey, it comes to the registrar's office to process.

Online Classes Refund Policy

Each time you add a new course, you will be charged for the full cost of the course. This cost will be the same before the last day to add classes as it would be if you added the course before the semester begins.

If you drop a class, the amount you will be reassessed changes depending on when during the semester you drop. The reassessment dates are:

  • 100% refund through First week of classes
  • 50% refund weeks 2-4
  • 25% refund weeks 5-8
  • No refund applied weeks 9-16

Online education dates and deadlines are the same as main campus. For more details, go to Dates and Deadlines.
