Help us help your student!

The advisors that will be working with your student have implemented a communication plan that starts at the MTSU email account roughly a week before they arrive on campus.  PLEASE remind them to be checking this account.  Specifically:

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

 It is imperative that they review the material the advisor sends them BEFORE the on-campus CUSTOMS date.  Completing these tasks in advance will greatly enhance their CUSTOMS experience.
