Missouri S&T is approved for the certification of students eligible to receive educational assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Missouri S&T Veterans Services staff are not employees of the Department of Veterans Affairs, and do not have access to veterans' records.

Application Process

If you're planning to attend Missouri S&T, it's a good idea to submit your application before our Priority Application Deadlines to ensure that you're on the best track for all scholarship, financial assistance, and registration opportunities. Applicants will want to follow the same step-by-step application guide as traditional transfer students, and will be evaluated for admission using the criteria outlined on that guide.

• Fall Semester - May 1
• Winter/Spring Semester - December 1
• Summer Semester - May 1

Final Application Deadlines: Fall, July 1; Winter/Spring, December 1; Summer, May 1

Withdrawal Policy for Students Called to Active Duty

Missouri S&T students called to active duty during the semester will have three options:

1. They may withdraw from school and receive a 100 percent refund.
2. Where appropriate, the student and instructor may consider the use of the "incomplete" grade (or "I" grade). The time spent in active duty will not be included in the time allowed to remove the incomplete grade (one calendar year).
3. The student and instructor may choose to have all the coursework completed prior to the active duty report day, in which case a final grade may be assigned. This would be appropriate if the student is called to active duty near the end of the semester.

A copy of the student's orders to active duty should be submitted to the Registrar's office.
