Navigating the college experience can be complex. View our resources to help you find your way.
Absence Notification Process
Course attendance and participation are essential to student success. As a service to students, the Dean of Students Office may provide notice to faculty for absences of three or more consecutive days that meet the defined extenuating circumstance categories.
Community Standards
Our community is built on respect, responsibility, and integrity. These standards promote a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where all students and organizations are expected to uphold ethical behavior and mutual respect.
Academic Integrity
At Missouri S&T, academic integrity is the foundation of educational excellence. It means conducting all academic work with honesty, responsibility, and respect for intellectual property. As you prepare to solve real-world technological challenges, the ethical standards you practice now directly impact your future success.
Family and Friends
We offer programs that connect your family to your S&T experience, keeping them informed and involved in your success journey. Students with engaged support networks report greater satisfaction and achievement. Invite your support network to be part of your Miner story through family weekends, newsletters, and special events designed to strengthen your connection between home and campus.

SARA Policy
Students enrolled in a course that takes place outside of Missouri in a SARA member state must first follow Missouri S&T's procedures for the resolution of complaints. If a student is not satisfied with the outcome of that process, a complaint involving an allegation of dishonest or fraudulent activity may be brought to the attention of the Missouri State Portal Entity-the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. The SARA portal entity in the state where the student is located will be notified that the complaint was received and may assist as needed. The complaint (except for complaints about grades or student conduct violations) may be appealed, within two years of the incident to the Missouri SARA portal entity. Resolution of the complaint by the Missouri portal entity is final.
Students located outside of Missouri may also file a complaint with the state portal entity of the state where they are located at the time they are enrolled. Find contact information for each state portal entity.
Examples of types of student complaints that may be brought to a SARA portal entity include but are not limited to, complaints regarding the accuracy of job placement data, tuition or fee information, accreditation, whether a program meets professional licensing requirements, or course transfer information. Grade appeals and student conduct appeals are not allowed under SARA.
