You can find your textbooks by entering your course schedule information into the Missouri Western Bookstore website. The website will indicate the correct edition of the textbook and let you know if the book is recommended or required. The Missouri Western Bookstore offers new, used and rental textbooks where available.

First, be sure to register your vehicle. Parking is open on campus, so you are able to park in any parking space that is not marked as accessible parking, for visitors, or reserved spaces. These spaces will all be marked with signage. Be sure to display a current parking decal (permit) on the outside of the vehicle on the lower passenger side rear window.

First, check your Missouri Western email and Canvas for any important announcements from your professors. You can also read your syllabus on Canvas, which may outline specific items the professor wants you to have. Generally speaking, be sure to bring the tools you prefer to take notes with and your textbook. Don’t count on the first day being a no-work day; it’s common to dive into classwork on day one.

There are a lot of ways to find out about events on campus, including taking a look at the Campus Events calendar. During the first week of classes, you’ll also want to stay tuned to the Griffon Activity Programming (GAP) Instagram page for information on Welcome Week activities!
