Enrolling

Before Admission

You may test the waters by taking up to 9 hours of SISLT coursework, but keep in mind:

  • Taking courses prior to applying does not guarantee admission
  • Be sure to take courses that will be included in your Program of Study – check with the Student Coordinator Office before enrolling
  • No more than 9 hours will count towards your degree before you are officially accepted into the program

Deadlines

  • Applications due April 1st for fall admission, October 1st for the spring
  • If accepted, you will receive admissions letters from the Graduate School and from SISLT

How to Enroll

If you intend to live in Columbia or mid-Missouri and attend classes at MU, you should register as an on-campus student. If you are not in the mid-Missouri area and plan to attend classes at one of our distance sites, you should register as an off-campus student.

  1. Determine which courses you want to take and when they are available by checking MU’s course schedule. You can also find information on SISLT courses using the SISLT Schedule.
  2. Register for the courses that meet your needs using one of the methods below.

    On-campus students

    • Register online using the MyZou system.
      • The University Registrar has provided this information to help you navigate MyZou.
      • The Division of IT has prepared a MyZou Reference Card with hints on some of the more commonly-used functions of MyZou.

    Off-campus students

  3. Purchase textbooks and/or course packs (if any are required).
