The University of Missouri System campuses have agreed to concurrently implement a new academic advising system as part of the comprehensive retention initiative. Missouri S&T’s new system, S&Tconnect, will replace the current Academic Alert system. Implementation of the new system will begin Aug. 15. Academic Alert will run in parallel with S&Tconnect until the end of the fall 2014 semester.
S&Tconnect allows students to request appointments with their instructors and advisors via the connect calendar, which syncs with the faculty or staff member’s Outlook Exchange calendar. S&Tconnect will also facilitate better communication to help build student academic success.
Training sessions and user documentation will be provided throughout July and August. For more information, call Rachel Morris at 341-7600.
