  2. Missouri S&T/MSU Cooperative Engineering Program:Disclaimer • The Administration of Cooperative Degree Programs is not an easy task! • It will take a lot of time and effort. • As much as you think you have it all covered, there will always be something new to address. • Cooperative degree programs between universities will continue to grow. It is the politically right thing to do.

  3. Missouri S&T/MSU Cooperative Engineering Program: • Items in the Memorandum of Understanding were used as a basis for the discussions. • “Degrees in civil and electrical engineering would be offered by S&T” • “the diplomas will read ‘in cooperation with Missouri State University’ • “MSU will collect tuition and fees from all students” • “S&T will provide an on-site program director”

  4. Missouri S&T/MSU Cooperative Engineering Program: • Initial meeting between the administrative offices took place in September 2006. Follow-up meetings occurred in October 2006, January 2007, and March 2007. Processes were finalized in November 2007. • As students in the cooperative program began taking S&T courses in January 2009, some revision to refine and add detail to the process were made.

  5. Admissions: • Students first apply and are admitted to MSU in the cooperative program (pre-engineering) when enrolling in MSU courses. • Prior to taking an S&T course, the student must apply and be admitted to S&T. • The student is admitted to S&T as a transfer student and tracked in a special student group.

  6. Financial Aid: • For purposes of financial aid, the student’s “home institution” throughout the program will remain at MSU. • When students are enrolled in S&T courses, MSU enters a “placeholder” course for the equivalent hours of the S&T course so that the students can be considered for financial aid.

  7. Scholarships: • All scholarship and financial aid will be the responsibility of MSU.

  8. Registration: • After students are admitted to either S&T or MSU, they will be eligible to register for the prescribed courses in the program. • They will proceed through the registration process on each campus when selecting those courses.

  9. Billing and Fees: • The charges will be MSU rates for MSU courses and S&T rates for S&T courses. The MOU also states that MSU will collect all fees from the student. • S&T sends a bill to the student’s S&T e-mail address to inform them of the fees that have been assessed and that they are being billed to a third party sponsor which is MSU. The bill has a statement about the S&T/MSU cooperative program and will specify that the student owes $0 dollars.

  10. Refund periods: • The MSU refund schedule will be followed.

  11. Funding of Instructional Support: • Some S&T courses offered in Springfield are taught by MSU instructors. S&T reimburses MSU at a set rate.

  12. NCAA athlete participation: • Students may begin participation at MSU but when they apply and enroll at S&T they can no longer participate as an athlete at MSU.

  13. Calendar: • The teaching institution will design the class schedule to accommodate the student.

  14. National Student Clearinghouse: • Both S&T and MSU will certify the student’s enrollment at their campus to the National Student Clearinghouse.

  15. Veteran Administration students: • S&T will be considered the “parent” school and S&T will certify hours taken at S&T to the Veteran Certifying Official. Hours taken at MSU will be certified by MSU as the “supplemental” school.

  16. Grades: • Students will follow the grading policies of the campus offering the course.

  17. Academic/Scholastic Actions: • Scholastic actions will be taken at the close of the semester based on the institution(s) through which students take classes that semester.

  18. Transcripts: • Courses will be transcripted by the institution that is offering the course.

  19. Degree requirements and diploma: • MSU and S&T will both post the S&T/MSU cooperative degree on their transcript. • The degree posted on the transcript at S&T will not appear different from the same degree awarded to Rolla campus students. • BS degree in Civil Engineering • BS degree in Electrical Engineering
