When you’re ready, choose your courses, figure out how you would like to be graded and learn about the add/drop/withdrawal process if you need to make changes.
Your enrollment options
Courses at UMSL, Missouri S&T and UMKC are semester-based. Courses at Mizzou are either semester-based or self-paced. Learn more about the types of courses. Your enrollment process will be different depending on the course format.
Self-paced enrollment (Mizzou students only)
Some self-paced courses let you work at your own pace over a six-month period, while others are in sync with the 16-week semester. For both options, you can use myZou to enroll.
Semester-based enrollment
Semester-based courses have start and end dates that align with the university's academic calendar. In most cases, you can enroll through your student information system.
