Summer Welcome is Mizzou's advising, registration, and orientation program for new students. This program will welcome and introduce you to the campus community. It is your opportunity to meet with an academic advisor from your intended major and complete your fall 2008 course schedule. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to meet new and current MU students, interact with faculty and staff, and learn about involvement opportunities beyond the classroom. At Summer Welcome you will receive answers to any questions you may have.

Please go here to register for one of the Summer Welcome sessions. You will need your pawprint (also knows as the Single Sign On or SSO ID or myZou username) and permanent password. You can complete your New Student Registration and Orientation (NSRO) or Transfer Student Registration and Orientation (TSRO) form as well. Your pawprint can be found on the letter that accompanied your NSRO or TSRO booklet. If you do not remember your password, you will need to go to welcome2myzou.missouri.edu and click on the link "Forgot Your Password?"

Choosing the online option allows you to submit the information more quickly and increases the likelihood of receiving one of your top choices of Summer Welcome sessions. The online method allows you to pay any fees with a credit card or echeck. However, if you prefer to register for Summer Welcome by paper, please contact the Office of New Student and Parent Programs at (573) 884-9868 or summerwelcome@missouri.edu to request a form.

All new MU students are required to pay a one-time enrollment fee of $150.00. The fee is refundable until May 1, 2008. This fee must be paid in order to participate in Summer Welcome. If you choose to pay your enrollment fee online through the Office of Admissions (enrollmentfee.missouri.edu), please allow 48 hours for the payment to process before attempting to register for a Summer Welcome session.

In addition to going into greater detail on topics covered in the one-day session, the two-day session will cover campus life, technology, Mizzou traditions, and Summer Welcome Revue, an entertaining and informative variety show performed by the Summer Welcome Leaders. Most importantly, the two-day session allows more time to meet and connect with other transfer students. Participation in the two-day session is limited and on a first-come, first serve basis.

You will receive a schedule of session times and locations when you arrive and check-in. The first day will primarily be information sessions, and the second day will include advising and course registration, which each academic division does differently. The academic divisions will not allow you to meet with an advisor or register for courses if you do not attend all of the programs and events during Summer Welcome, so you must be here for the full two days.

Parking will be in the Virginia Avenue Parking Structure-LEVELS 3 and ABOVE ONLY. A parking permit will be included with your Summer Welcome confirmation letter. Please be sure to bring this permit to your Summer Welcome session and place it on the rearview of your car. You are subject to ticketing if you forget to display this permit or park in non-designated parking lots. The Office of New Student and Parent Programs is not responsible for ticket violations.

Check-in will be from 7:30am - 8:30am at the Gillett Hall front desk. Gillett has is located at 800 Virginia Avenue.

If any of your registered guests change their schedule and can't attend, you must let us know at least three business days before your session and we will issue you a refund for all appropriate expenses. Call us at 573-884-9868 to make changes to your reservation.

Yes, we provide on-campus housing for the night before your Summer Welcome session for both students and parents. If you need such housing, please indicate this on your Summer Welcome Reservation form. If you are traveling a long distance and need an extra night, you can pay $15 for each additional night's stay. Parents and other guests will pay $28 for each additional night's stay.

Most freshmen students and transfers attending the two-day session will complete Summer Welcome by 2:00pm on Day Two. Transfers attending a one-day session will complete their activities by 4:30pm.
