PSU: Prepare for the Fall Semester




Classes begin Monday, August 18th. We hope you are prepared and that you will let us know if you have any questions.

Some steps you should consider taking now to prepare:


1)  Check your fall schedule for any possible classroom changes since your enrollment.

2)  Sign up for eProxy, if needed. Make it easy for parents or other individuals to view your tuition by providing them eProxy access through your student account.  By taking this extra step, you are not sharing your own password to your GUS account and limiting what can be viewed by others.

3)  If you are receiving financial assistance and/or scholarships, be sure you have logged into GUS and "verified enrollment". Verification began on August 4, 2014 via GUS.

4)  Consider ordering your textbooks now on-line.  The Pitt State University Bookstore provides a link at http://www.pittstate.BKstore.com to make this task simpler.  Early ordering will provide a better chance for used books and less waiting in line once you're on campus. If receiving financial assistance, you need to know about the book voucher policy. See http://www.pittstate.edu/office/financial_aid/. Renting books are also an option.

5)  Obtain your parking permit on GUS.  University Police will mail it to you or have it ready for you to pick up in their office in the basement of Shirk Hall.

6)  Know who to call when you have questions.  The short list below provides the most frequently called offices at the beginning of the semester.

Cashiers 620.235.4092   (tuition payment questions)
Financial Assistance  620.235.4240 or 1-800-854-7488
Housing/Residence Life  620.235.4245  (for those living on campus) or 1-800-854-7488
Registrars Office  620.235.4200  (to make changes in your schedule, verify enrollment for insurance)

Don't forget many of these offices will be available to assist you in Horace Mann on Saturday, August 16 from 10:00-4:00.  
Please ask if you have any questions.
