Welcome to Missouri State University-West Plains

Chemistry, all writing, economics, biology, some physics, Political Science, and anything else for which we have a large enough demand.

The office of registration and records in Cass Hall, (417) 255-7979, is the primary office that actually makes the changes. The Change of Student Information Form may also be accessed on the web at http://wp.missouristatte.edu/assets/recreg/ChangeOfStudentInfo.pdf. You can also make these changes through My Grizzly Den.

There are several ways to join or find out information about a particular organization. One way is to visit the student organization’s website and contact the advisor or president. Information about all student organizations can be found at http://wp.missouristate.edu/studentorg/default.htm. The office of student life and development also sends an electronic Student Bulletin to all students on a weekly basis. By checking their University email account weekly students can also find out when organizations are meeting and what activities they have planned. All students are welcome to join any organizations.

The CCAMPIS federal program requires campuses to construct a sliding scale to calculate awards to students. That sliding scale includes participant need from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the cost of child care charged by the child care facility. The award then considers other forms of federal and state child care assistance for which participants may be eligible. Finally, the philosophy of the child care committee is that participants should show some “ownership” in the program by helping to some reasonable extent.

A Notary Public is a person appointed by a state official to serve as a disinterested witness and verify that a signature is authentic. Many types of documents require signatures to be “notarized.” All documents presented for notarization must have the correct form of notary certificate on them. Identification is required. The best form of identification is one that includes a photograph and signature (such as a valid driver’s license). Do not sign the document until you present it to the notary. Some documents, such as birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses, divorce decrees and school documents, (i.e., diplomas, transcripts), cannot be notarized. Notary services are available to students at the Student Services reception desk in Lybyer Technology Center 207 and in the student advisement and academic support center (SAAS) in Garnett Library.

It is very easy to meet other people at Missouri State University-West Plains. There are clubs and organizations, activities and a student center that are all geared to showing students that there is more to college than just classes. A visit to the office of student life and development in Putnam Student Center, (417) 255-7233, will open doors for a student to meet other students. Students who are involved in clubs and activities often experience greater academic success. Many examples about how to become more involved can be found at http://wp.missouristate.edu/StudentLife/.
