Click on the appropriate section, the course is automatically added and your schedule will be shown.

You may also search for open classes or view your schedule by clicking on the appropriate buttons.

Classes:

Once you have registered, here's how to get started with your class.

Go directly to onCampus. http://oncampus.msstate.edu/cp/home/loginf Log in with your NetID and NetPassword. Your onCampus Account appears. From this portal you can access your e-mail and Banner Web, view the course catalogue, register for classes, update personal information, view your billing statement and much more. Select the Classroom Tab.

A list of courses for which you have registered appears. If you click on the course name, it takes you to the myCourses site for that course. These sites are uploaded only a few days before start of term. If there is no site available, be patient. If there is no site available the day before classes start, contact Tamra Swann, tswann@aoce.msstate.edu Some professors will use other course delivery options but should provide a link to an alternate website or instructions for starting the class.

Order your textbook. Visit the Available Courses page at our Distance MBA website to see if books are required for the course, or go directly to the bookstore at http://msstate.bkstore.com/.
