After AOP: Academics

Paying Your Tuition Bills
Your tuition bill will be ready for viewing online in STUINFO (http://stuinfo.msu.edu) in August. You will receive an e-mail in your MSU account indicating that your tuition bill is ready for viewing. Pay close attention to the payment deadline so you are not charged a late fee.

Changing Your Class Schedule
Students prepare their class selections with their academic adviser in order to satisfy both college and MSU graduation requirements and explore various academic programs. Class schedules cannot be changed by the AOP Office once a student leaves orientation. The MSU enrollment system is closed for students until Friday, August 22, 2008. If you have questions regarding your schedule, contact your academic adviser.

Buying Textbooks
There are a number of bookstores within walking distance from campus. One bookstore, the Spartan Bookstore, is located on campus in the International Center.
Whether you purchase your books before or after your classes begin, is really a personal preference. When you go to buy your books, bring your fall class schedule. The bookstores are organized by course subject. Once you have found the correct subject, find the appropriate course number and section. You will find that books are either required or recommended. Generally, required books are needed for the class as provided by the professor. Recommended books supplement the course topic. These books will aid in understanding the topics covered in the course. Once classes begin, your professor will supply you with a required list of textbooks for the class on the syllabus. The bookstores will receive the book list before classes begin.
Students may order textbooks from area bookstores, or from other stores in their local area or online.
Remember to save your receipt in case you change your class schedule or your professor changes the textbook selection for the class.
