Part of success online and as a professional, is to be prepared. So even if you have your own personal computer with internet access, accidents or issues can come up so that you either lose Internet access or your computer breaks down.

SmarterId Instuctions

5. Why are my courses not showing up?

Enrollments occur as students are fed into the system automatically based upon the data available from student accounts and the registrar’s office. Students could be missing for several reasons, including some type of record hold (fees, missing paperwork, etc) or the instructor has the course unpublished.

It is the goal of the Center for Distance Education to provide the highest quality support to distance education students. Since most distance students are not on campus in Starkville, our center serves as the liaison for distance students to campus. Each distance student is assigned a distance program coordinator who is the primary contact for their online program. Information about this coordinator can be found under the About Us tab on each individual distance program page.

In addition, MSU offers numerous student services which are listed below. Click the individual service for more information about each specialized student resource.
