University Registrar

The Easy Access program is designed for those who wish to study part-time and those not interested in actively pursuing a degree. Students may register for a maximum of six hours in regular terms and three hours in summer. Graduate credit is not allowed through Easy Access, and permission must be obtained from either the professor or the department before enrolling in courses requiring consent. Students wishing to participate in the MU In The Evening Program need to call MU Direct at 573-882-3598 or 1-800-545-2604 or visit the MU Direct Web site.

Submit in advance or bring completed Easy Access application (PDF) to 130 Jesse Hall during Easy Access registration. See academic dates and deadlines or call 573-882-7881. Once admitted, beginning on the date set for Easy Access to begin, students may use the myZou system to register for classes without coming to Jesse Hall. Go to myzou.missouri.edu to begin the registration process. First-time users may go to: http://registrar.missouri.edu/registration-adddrop/myzou-first-time.php for step-by-step instructions.
