If you have been admitted to MTSU for an upcoming semester and have not yet registered for our new student orientation program called CUSTOMS, DO THAT NOW!  The information below will supplement the on-line CUSTOMS modules, the on-campus CUSTOMS experience, as well has help you navigate your course registration process.   Once you get registered for a CUSTOMS date, you will be emailed a link directing you towards the on-line CUSTOMS modules.   These will need to be completed no less than four days prior to your scheduled on-campus date. In order to be eligible for course registration, you MUST register for a CUSTOMS date AND complete the on-line CUSTOMS modules.

 We ask that you don't have any outside obligations during your CUSTOMS date so that you can devote as much attention as possible to this very important step in becoming an MTSU Blue Raider!

If coming to campus to complete CUSTOMS, it’s best that you bring your own device for course registration. A laptop would be best but a tablet would work too. Your phone will be more difficult to work off of. 

 No less than two days prior to your CUSTOMS date, you will receive an e-packet from your advisor outlining what to expect, a homework assignment related to course registration, and MANY other things!  This will arrive in your MTSU email account, so it's crucial that you have that set up! 

 It is imperative that you review the material your advisor sends you BEFORE your CUSTOMS date.  Completing these tasks in advance will greatly enhance your CUSTOMS experience.
