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.  

 No less than two days prior to your CUSTOMS date, you will receive a VERY DETAILED 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 on-campus CUSTOMS date.  Completing these tasks in advance will greatly enhance your CUSTOMS experience.
