eaglecard 606-783-2701 | Ground Floor, 31 Allie Young Hall www.moreheadstate.edu/eaglecard ___________________________________ The EagleCard ID serves as your official Morehead State University photo identification.

However, that is just a small portion of what this card can do. Utilizing both magnetic stripe and contactless technology, it provides the following benefits:

Your Key to Campus Use your card to gain access to residence halls, University facilities like the Camden-Carroll Library and the Recreation & Wellness Center, and athletic events held throughout the year.

Meal Plans Time to eat! Incoming freshmen and sophomores are required to participate in a meal plan accessed using your EagleCard. Note: your meal plan will not be activated until your tuition and fees are paid in full, you have enrolled in a payment plan or you have accepted the Financial Responsibility Agreement if you have enough financial aid to cover your charges in full.

BeakerBUCKS BeakerBUCKs is a feature that will make many of your on- and off-campus purchases even easier. This optional, all-in-one account is accepted at multiple locations. You can use your BeakerBUCKs for purchases at dining services, the University Store, vending machines, printers and copiers, as well as at participating local merchants. Visit www.moreheadstate.edu/eaglecard for a complete listing.

Student Checking MSU’s banking partner, U.S. Bank, offers student checking accounts with great benefits, allowing you to attach your EagleCard ID as a PIN-based ATM/debit card. (NOTE: EagleCard ONLINE does not access U.S. Bank checking account information. To set up this account, visit www.usbank.com.)

6

Lost or Stolen Eaglecard As much as you try to take care of your EagleCard, there is still the possibility of your card getting either lost or stolen. You may also notify the EagleCard Office immediately to have your card deactivated.

If you deactivate your card online, you will need to visit the EagleCard Office to reactivate it for your accounts. If you have a U.S. Bank Eagle Checking account, you must contact U.S. Bank at 800-862-4158 or 606-780-8300 to put a hold on your account. This will secure the funds in these accounts until you are issued a new EagleCard and transfer your funds to your new card.

If your EagleCard is lost, stolen or damaged, simply visit the EagleCard Office and pay for a replacement.

•

Lost/Stolen - $20

•

Damaged - $10 (damaged card must be turned in at time of production and payment)

If you find an EagleCard, please return it to the EagleCard Office in 31 Allie Young Hall.

Accessing and Loading Your EagleCard Account To access your account, visit www.moreheadstate.edu/eaglecard. View your EagleCard account history, balances, add funds, deactivate lost cards and more.

NOTE: If you’ve taken a photo and could not pick up your EagleCard during SOAR, you can pick up your EagleCard at the EagleCard Office in 31 Allie Young Hall. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

CARD CARE Your MSU EagleCard is one of the most important items you’ll carry as an MSU student. Treat your ID as you would your debit card or driver’s license. Never bend, mark, scratch or punch holes anywhere on your card. Do not store your EagleCard near magnets or magnetized surfaces or tamper with the contactless chip. Do not leave your card unattended, store your PIN with your card or let anyone else use your card for any reason.

LIVING like an eagle Part of what makes the MSU college experience special is the chance to call our warm and welcoming campus your second home. The Office of Student Housing is dedicated to creating that environment, one that fosters academic success, personal growth and an atmosphere that encourages you to make new friends and become connected with the campus community.

We provide quality support, safety and secure facilities that help create a community that promotes diversity, acceptance and individuality.

office of student housing 606-783-2060 | Alumni Tower West | housing@moreheadstate.edu www.moreheadstate.edu/housing | @MSU_Housing _______________________________________________ As one of more than 3,000 residents, your residential experience at MSU may translate to higher GPAs, faster graduation rates and a more connected collegiate experience than your off-campus peers. Additionally, you will be a short walk away from classes, dining halls, campus resources, athletic and entertainment events, and student organizations, with easy access to faculty and staff.

There are different housing options to accommodate student needs, including halls that remain open over both winter and summer breaks. We offer a variety of housing styles, from traditional residence halls to suites and apartments. Our halls are tobacco-free and alcoholfree and include high-speed internet access, cable TV, cooking, vending and free laundry facilities.

Residency Requirement Morehead State University’s On-Campus Residency Policy requires all full-time students under the age of 21 who have earned fewer than 60 University-recognized college credit hours to live on campus and subscribe to a meal plan. Students must be 21 by the first day of classes to fulfill the residency requirement. (Students enrolled full-time online or at an MSU regional campus are exempt from this policy.)

9

Exemption Information The University may grant exemptions to the On-Campus Residency Policy based upon guidelines related to credit hours completed, age, marital status, proximity of home to campus and other pertinent factors. Requests for exemptions for other reasons are rarely granted. Any exemption to the On-Campus Residency Policy must be approved in writing by the Office of Student Housing prior to the beginning of the term for which the exemption is requested.

For more information and to find out if you qualify for an exemption, contact the Office of Student Housing at 606-783-2060, email housing@moreheadstate.edu or visit www.moreheadstate.edu/housing.

Housing Assignments Morehead State strives to make the housing process simple so your transition to becoming a full-time college student can be as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. The steps to sign up for MSU’s housing process are as follows: 1. Apply to Morehead State University and be accepted.

2. Submit your $150 enrollment deposit. This deposit tells us you are ready to begin preparing for classes. Once we receive your deposit, we will send you information about orientation, registering for classes and housing. The deadline to submit your deposit is May 1.

New Student Application Deadline First-year students are now able to select their own residential accommodation. Please apply as early as possible to determine a room selection time. Applications should be received by July 1 and any applications received after this date will result in limited housing choices and options. Please check the housing office website for further information.

Check-in Days and Times for Fall 2018 The opening days for MSU residence halls will be Aug. 8 and 9. Buildings will have specific times when check-ins will occur. Further instructions and assigned times will be sent to your MSU email and will be available on our website.

Internet Access MSU provides wireless access through the campus Residential Network (RESNET) for computing needs, smartphones, tablets, gaming systems and even smart televisions. No wired access is available. For more information, visit www.moreheadstate.edu/resnet.

Renters Insurance We strongly recommend that you carry an additional renters insurance policy for your personal property. While MSU does not have a preferred provider of renters insurance, we recommend that you consult your insurance provider. Some items may be covered by your parents’ homeowners policy.

Technology in the Room Cable for TVs is provided by the housing office and is available in each residence hall. Your computer and other devices must be able to establish a wireless connection to connect to RESNET. There are no wired internet ports in the residence halls.

Residence Hall Mail Delivery Delivery of mail to the University residence halls is the responsibility of the Morehead City Post Office. The director of housing will provide a secure location in each hall and provide all necessary keys to the University Post Office for the daily delivery of mail. Residents are encouraged to check their in-hall mailboxes regularly.

Packages for residential students will be held at the University Post office (UPO). When a package is received, an automated message will be sent to your MSU email account.

Packages must have an accurate residence hall address and will be held at the UPO for one month.

It is likely you will share a mailbox with your roommates. You have the option to have your mail delivered to a private box in the University Post Office for a small rental fee (per semester).

Your mailing address will be: Your Name _____________________________ Hall Room # _______________________ Morehead State University Morehead, KY 40351

University Post Office The University Post Office is a contract station of the United States Postal Service located on the ground floor of Allie Young Hall.

Living with a Roommate Whether you are rooming with a friend you’ve known for a long time or will be sharing a room with someone you’ve met for the first time, living with a roommate can present both benefits and challenges. Many college students have never shared a room with another person for an extended period of time. Don’t panic. We are excited for you to get to know other residents and to learn something new from your roommate. Chances are, you may even learn something new about yourself along the way.

Here are a few tips to help make life with your roommate as enjoyable as possible: •

Organize the room together: Figure out where each of you will sleep and arrange the room so that you are both comfortable. Successful roommates make a residence hall room a home by adding personal touches and working together to arrange the room to the liking of everyone who shares the space.

•

Get to know your roommate: It is not a requirement or expectation that you become best friends with your roommate, but since you are going to be spending a significant amount of time with this person during the year, you might as well get to know them. Make an effort to hang out sometimes and support each other’s interests and you might find yourself more easily getting to know and understand each other.

•

Communicate expectations: When does the music need to be turned down? What nights are reserved for studying in the room? What items are yours and what items will you share? These and many other questions will arise and the best approach is to discuss expectations openly and early.

•

Don’t ignore problems: If you’re having a problem with your roommate, don’t let it build up and become more difficult to resolve. Just talk about it. Most problems can be minimized or resolved by simple communication. If something comes up, set aside time to talk where both you and your roommate can focus on resolving the issue at hand. Plus, always remember a staff member can help facilitate a conversation if necessary.

•

Give each other space: It’s good to have time together, but it’s equally important to have time to yourself. Don’t forget to spend time apart as well. Your living arrangement and relationship will both benefit.

•

Share upcoming academic commitments: If you have a big paper due in a week or a test coming up, let your roommate know so that you can have some quiet in the room to study and work on assignments.

14

•

Ask before borrowing: A roommate relationship can go south in a hurry if you borrow something without getting permission. No matter what it is, it is always best to ask first to avoid conflict.

•

Have fun: This college experience is something you are both going through for the first time. When the time comes to have a bit of fun, find something to do. Grab a coffee. Head down to the Recreation & Wellness Center. Make the trek out to Eagle Lake when the weather is nice. Your studies may be top priority, but college is also about having enjoyable experiences.

15

Living off Campus If you decide to commute to MSU, we want you to have the same type of positive experience that can come with being a residential student. Below are tips to help you make the most of your college experience.

•

Full-time students with less than 60 credit hours who plan to commute must complete a housing waiver request available online at www.moreheadstate.edu/housing to avoid being billed for housing and dining.

•

In case of traffic delays, become aware of alternate routes so you do not miss class.

•

Keep track of weather delays and road conditions by signing up for Eagle Alerts, a service that sends you text messages in case of weather delays. You can also check local TV stations and the MSU website.

•

Your commute should include time to park and walk to class or to ride a shuttle bus from the commuter lot.

•

Spend some quality time on campus. MSU has so much to offer outside of class, so schedule time to study, hang out in the dining facilities, visit the Recreation & Wellness Center or participate in numerous athletic and arts events.

•

Give yourself some downtime between classes to study and to make new friends.

•

If you’re on campus, get a bite to eat or consider purchasing a meal plan. We have meal plans to meet your needs and they can be used in our all-you-care-to-eat restaurant in The Rock, or with meal equivalency or meal exchange in one of our many other dining locations.

•

Bring everything you need for the day. Make sure you have extra supplies in your backpack and/or vehicle.

•

Being prepared for the day means not only being ready for classes but also for situations like bad weather and car trouble. Keep a few things in your car – like a jacket, umbrella, jumper cables and some extra cash – to help you stay prepared for unexpected situations.

•

Get involved in campus life. We have more than 100 student organizations, so there are a variety of opportunities to find fulfillment, meet people and develop leadership skills.

16

Meal Plans MSU Dining Services offers great tasting food with eight flexible meal plans.

•

By purchasing a meal plan, you receive your meals at a discount.

•

Meal plans allow you to enjoy all our great dining options with maximum flexibility.

•

Meal plans are billed to your University student account along with tuition and housing.

•

Meals may be used in the Rocky Adkins Dining Commons and most campus dining locations. (Starbucks and the P.O.D. do not accept meals, but do accept Flex dollars.)

•

All plans come with variable, declining balance Flex dollar accounts, which are accepted at ALL dining locations including Starbucks and the P.O.D. convenience store.

Note to parents: A meal plan will help guarantee your child access to meals from the first day of classes to the last day of exams, so you won’t be getting frantic calls to send money for food.

Choosing a meal plan: •

What are your eating habits?

•

Do you eat breakfast in the morning?

•

Will you be staying on weekends?

•

Will you be eating more often to accommodate a busy or late night schedule?

18

Important meal plan reminders: •

A meal plan runs from Sunday to Saturday.

•

Unused meals do not carry over from week-to-week.

•

Meal plans are non-transferable.

•

You may select a meal plan or make changes to your account before paying fees in full or enrolling in a payment plan.

•

All fees must be paid in full, or you must enroll in a payment plan before your meal plan, BeakerBUCKs or dining option can be activated and used. (If you have enough financial aid to cover your charges in full, then you must accept a Financial Responsibility Agreement.)

•

Flex dollars carry over from fall semester to spring semester in an academic year as long as there is an active spring meal plan. They do not carry over to the following academic year after summer session has started.

Check for updated meal plan selections, prices and hours of operation at www.msudining.com.

How meal plans work Once you’ve paid all fees owed to the University, your EagleCard will be activated, and your dining plan and Flex dollars will be ready to use.

Dining swipes Dining swipes have two functions: 1. Meal swipes Anytime you enter our all-you-care-to-eat dining location, one dining swipe is subtracted from your balance. When a dining swipe is use at this location, it is called a “meal swipe.”

2. Retail swipes Anytime you eat at one of our participating retail dining locations, one dining swipe is subtracted from your balance. When a dining swipe is used at these locations, it is called a “retail swipe.” A swipe is worth up to $7. If the transaction exceeds $7, you can pay the remaining balance with your Flex dollars or double tap to use an extra retail swipe. This can only be done once a day.

NOTE: Starbucks and the P.O.D. Market do not accept retail swipes, but do accept Flex dollars.

What is flex?

Flex is a dining currency attached to every meal plan that can be used at any dining location on campus.

The main purpose of Flex is to provide more flexibility when purchasing retail items. You may purchase items solely with Flex dollars or use Flex to cover your remaining balance on a dining swipe purchase. Flex can be used in retail outlets such as the P.O.D. Market, which stocks toiletries and other essentials.

20

What is double tap?

The Double Tap feature can be used once a day to cover retail swipes. This feature allows you to use two retail swipes for one purchase, covering a total of up to $14.

FLEXIBILITY When selecting a meal plan, please keep in mind that eating habits change frequently to suit the college lifestyle. For that reason, our meal plans are designed to provide a variety of options in an effort to satisfy the needs of our students.

Minimum meal plan requirements The term minimum simply means the given plan is the lowest required option for you based on your University classification (year in school). You can always choose to upgrade to a more expansive meal plan if that better suits your needs.

21

TRANSPORTATION SERVICES As an MSU student, there are several options to get around campus in addition to walking.

Bystander Intervention MSU believes Eagle students, faculty and staff are one big family. Therefore, we encourage you to “step up” on behalf of another person’s well-being and safety. There are safe and positive options for bystanders who intervene during an incident in order to prevent harm when there is a risk or act of violence.

If a situation prompts you to intervene, you should: •

Be aware of your surroundings, trust your instincts, assume personal responsibility and take verbal or physical action. Persons should not assume that someone else will help.

•

Assess the situation, take into account your personal safety and decide the best response for all involved. When in doubt, call for help. Other possible people to contact for assistance are faculty, staff, supervisors, counselors, etc.

•

Decide whether to use direct or indirect action to resolve the problem.

•

Examples of Direct Action: Point out someone’s behavior in a manner that will help de-escalate the situation; talk to a friend to ensure he/she is okay; call the police.

Examples of Indirect Action: Make up an excuse to help someone get away from a potential offender and call the local authorities.

Try to intervene with others. Bystanders are likely to have a greater influence on the parties involved when they work together with more than one person. Safety is increased when bystanders stay with a group of friends they know well. That being said, calling 911 is almost always a good option.

Visit www.moreheadstate.edu/emergency for information on what to do in specific situations.

TITLE IX Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, enforced by The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR), protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. Title IX states that: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

Campus SaVE Act The Campus Sexual Violence Elimination (SaVE) Act represents a turning point in our nation’s handling of sexual misconduct on college campuses and universities. Introduced by U.S. Senator Bob Casey and House Representative Caroline Maloney, SaVE will complement the Title IX Guidance by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights.

Reporting/Grievance Procedure As a caring community, MSU places a premium on student and employee safety and healthy relationships. PG-6 sends a clear and unmistakable statement against sexual misconduct including sexual harassment, assault, exploitation, stalking, dating violence and domestic violence.

Training In accordance with changes in federal law, the Office of Civil Rights mandates MSU to update its requirements and train its employees and students on sexual misconduct. It is the intent of MSU to ensure all responsible employees and students understand how to recognize, respond and report sexual misconduct. Training is required for all students and employees of MSU. For more information, visit www.moreheadstate.edu/titleix.

28

Safe Computing Practices Students should always be aware of potential cyber security threats on computers and mobile devices. Here are a few suggestions that can help with safer web browsing and online communication.

•

Never open an email attachment from a sender you don’t know or recognize.

•

Don’t share personal information or images you don’t wish to be made public when communicating over the internet or through texts and chats.

•

One password isn’t enough. Keep multiple passwords for all of your different online accounts.

•

Before you download a file a friend sent you in an online chat, verify that he/she was the one who sent it.

•

User agreements are long and boring, but make sure you read them carefully before you download software to avoid receiving additional programs or spyware.

•

If it’s important digital data, back it up using an external hard drive, USB flash drive or CD-R/RW.

•

Downloading free movies, music, software and other forms of entertainment from the internet may be free, but it’s also likely illegal. Make sure these downloads are authorized to avoid breaking the law or paying any significant fines.

•

Keep an eye on your tech devices to make sure no one else tampers with or steals them. If you have a laptop, a laptop lock is definitely a smart purchase. Keep track of serial numbers on valuable property you own to reduce the risk of an item getting stolen.

•

Morehead State University email users may occasionally be the target of spam messages and phishing attempts. If you receive an email that looks suspicious, do not open it or click on any links provided in the email. Instead, forward the email to our Office of Information Technology at phishing@moreheadstate.edu.

Safety in Residence Halls At Morehead State University, safety and security in the residence halls is something that we take very seriously. To give you and your family peace of mind, we have implemented the following protocols and procedures to ensure the halls remain a safe environment for our residents and staff to live and learn in: •

Each building is secured via a card access system that requires residency in the building. Your EagleCard will be used for admittance.

•

Building entrances are monitored via security cameras and equipped with constantly monitored fire suppression systems, sprinklers and alarms.

•

Residence hall and apartment staff do periodic rounds through buildings throughout the day to ensure entrances and exits are secured and working properly, safety equipment is in working order and there are no facility issues that present a threat to the community.

•

Housing staff is always “on-call” 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, to monitor building or resident issues and to provide a quick response time should an issue arise.

Despite the measures in place, the biggest impact toward safety and security in the halls is the behavior of the residents. Some tips for residents to make sure they do not become a victim of theft in the halls are: •

Always lock your residence hall room or apartment, even when going down the hall, to the restroom or the kitchen.

•

Don’t allow others to follow you into the hall after you have swiped your EagleCard.

This is known as “tailgating” and allows for people who may not live in your building access to it.

•

Don’t leave personal possessions unattended or unwatched. Leaving laptops, tablets, phones, etc., in community spaces could result in them being stolen.

•

Don’t loan your EagleCard or room key to another person.

30

Eagles on the move Whether you are walking, biking, driving or catching a ride, here are some tips to keep in mind that will help increase your safety on campus.

Driver safety

Bike safety

•

Wear your seatbelt ... always.

•

•

Always watch for traffic from students on bikes or on foot.

Only ride your bike on designated bike lanes and roads.

•

•

Secure your car. Lock it while driving and when you park, make sure you lock it and that both your windows and sunroof are closed.

Just like automobiles, bikes should yield to pedestrians in crosswalks.

•

Obey all traffic signs, signals and laws.

•

Packages and other valuables you are leaving in your car should be out of sight. Store them in your trunk, console or glovebox.

•

Always wear a bike helmet.

•

Ride in the direction of traffic.

•

Equip your bike with headlights and reflectors for nighttime riding.

•

Secure your parked bike with a lock, preferably a U-lock.

•

Keep your bike’s serial number on file.

•

Motorcycle and motor scooter riders must be licensed and insured.

•

Have your keys in-hand while heading to your car.

Transit safety •

•

•

Pedestrian safety

Wait for the bus to stop and open its door before stepping into the roadway.

Make sure you are at least 10 feet in front of the bus while crossing. If you can’t see the bus driver when you are crossing the street, they can’t see you.

Avoid sticking arms or legs in bus doors to prevent them from closing.

31

•

Follow “Don’t Walk” and other traffic-control signals.

•

Cross within the marked crosswalk.

Jaywalking is dangerous and could result in fines.

•

Avoid looking at your mobile device while walking to avoid distractions.

•

Be mindful of possible blind spots around motor vehicles. Some drivers may not see you.

Where Quality meets Value Even though a college education is an invaluable investment, MSU understands the costs involved. This is the reason why more than 90 percent of our undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. At MSU, we are committed to offering a quality, higher education that is a great value for both in-state and out-of-state students.

Office of Financial Aid 606-783-2011 | 121 E. Second St., 205 Enrollment Services Center finaid@moreheadstate.edu | www.moreheadstate.edu/finaid ___________________________________

Financial Aid Tips •

Apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

•

You will receive the results of your application in a Student Aid Report (SAR).

Review the SAR to be sure all the information is correct. If you need to make corrections, do so as soon as possible. You or your parents, if applicable, must e-sign the corrected SAR.

•

When the Office of Financial Aid receives your FAFSA results, we will begin reviewing your application and awarding financial aid.

•

You will be notified by email from the Office of Financial Aid of the type of aid you have been awarded.

•

If your application is selected for review in a process called verification, you will be asked to provide tax information, complete a Verification Worksheet, or provide other documentation to KHEAA.

•

View the status of your financial aid awards in your MyMoreheadState account.

Under Self-Service (WebAdvisor) - Students, select “Financial Aid.” Also, view award terms and other consumer information at www.moreheadstate.edu/finaid.

For students who have completed the financial aid application process and received a notification of awards (financial aid award letter): •

Sign your loan promissory note and complete loan entrance counseling, if required.

•

Financial aid will be credited to your student account, usually after the second week of classes.

32

•

Please be aware that there is a 30-day delay in disbursement of Direct Loans for first-year, first-time borrowers.

•

Federal work-study funds do not credit to your account. You receive a paycheck for actual hours worked.

•

Loans are disbursed in two equal disbursements, one at the beginning of the loan period and the second at the midpoint of the loan period.

Types of Federal Financial Aid There are several types of financial aid that you may be eligible to receive. Federal financial aid includes grants, student employment and loans. With eligibility determined by FAFSA results, grants are awarded based on need and funds available.

Student Employment For Eagles who want to work to earn their financial aid, there are two types of student employment: federal and institutional. Federal student employment is need-based while institutional student employment is not.

If you have been awarded a federal position or are interested in institutional student employment, create an Eagle CareerNet account at www.moreheadstate.edu/career to view job openings and to apply for available positions. You must have a federal work-study award to apply for federal positions.

Student Loans Student loans can be either need-based or non-need based. This type of loan must be repaid but repayment doesn’t begin as long as you are enrolled at least part-time.

Federal Parent Loans for Undergraduate Students (PLUS) are available to parents of dependent students. Applications and information on other programs is available at www.moreheadstate.edu/finaid.

33

Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Recipients To continue to receive financial aid, undergraduate students must demonstrate satisfactory academic progress during each academic term. You must successfully complete a minimum of 67 percent of the credit hours attempted. Successful completion for this purpose is defined as receiving a grade of “D” or better.

Students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher by the end of their second year (four semesters) and each evaluation period thereafter. To continue to receive federal financial aid, you can attempt no more than 150 percent of the hours required for your current academic program.

If you lose your financial aid because of unsatisfactory progress, you may appeal the decision by completing the Satisfactory Progress Appeal form and providing a copy of your transcript and all required supporting documentation. Copies of the appeals form may be obtained from the Office of Financial Aid or online at www.moreheadstate.edu/finaid.

Students will be notified in writing of the action taken on their appeal. If your appeal is approved, your financial aid eligibility will be reinstated immediately. The approval will be for one semester and your progress will be reviewed at the end of that semester to determine continued eligibility.

Scholarships and Awards Renewal Scholarships and awards may require higher standards for renewal than other forms of financial aid. Consult your award information and the University’s renewal guidelines regarding your particular scholarship award. Scholarship renewal is evaluated at the end of each year.

FINANCIAL AID COUNSELORS Financial aid counselors are available Monday through Friday, no appointment necessary.

You may also contact the Office of Financial Aid at 606-783-2011.

Email Etiquette @ MSU The messages you send online – and how you send them – can often serve as a direct reflection of you and might serve as your first impression to fellow classmates, faculty and staff at MSU. What kind of image are you portraying when you send email? Is your email message rude or full of mistakes?

At Morehead State University, email is a frequently used communication tool. Many professors, academic advisors and support staff use email to communicate with students.

It is important that you check your MSU email account regularly. Since you likely have a mobile phone connecting your MSU email account to your smartphone is advised. For assistance setting up your MSU email on your phone, refer to the Mobile Device Configurations section on page 43 of this guide or visit www.moreheadstate.edu/technology.

Tips for communicating via email as a student: •

Always use your MSU email address, rather than a personal email address.

•

Include an appropriate subject line.

•

Use an acceptable greeting, such as “Dr. White” or “Dear Professor Jones.” (“Hey” or “What’s Up?” is not recommended.)

•

Be specific, yet brief, with your message. Be sure to use a professional tone.

•

Do not use internet slang or write the way you would in a text message.

•

Proofread your email and check for spelling errors.

•

Include your full name and MSU ID number. If you are communicating with a professor, include your course and section number.

•

When sending an attachment, alert the receiver of the email.

Eagle health At Morehead State, we want you to have an amazing college experience. One way we ensure this is by offering services for your overall physical, mental and dental health, as well as facilities that encourage wellness and physical activity.

Counseling & Health Services 606-783-2055 | 112 Allie Young Hall | counselingandhealthservices@moreheadstate.edu www.moreheadstate.edu/chs ___________________________________ Counseling and Health Services (CHS), located in Allie Young (first floor), is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (closed from noon to 1 p.m.), Monday through Friday. Services are comparable to those of your family health care provider, but tailored to the problems, concerns and preventative health associated with college-aged students, both traditional and non-traditional.

The clinic currently takes appointments throughout the day until 3:30 p.m. An appointment is not necessary but is encouraged to decrease wait time. Walk-ins are accepted throughout the day but those with appointments or emergency needs will be seen first.

Online Patient Portal Online Patient Portal (OPP) allows you to complete your health history form, which is required of all new students. OPP also allows you the freedom to schedule your own appointments in the medical clinic. Secure messaging with medical clinic staff is also available, as well as entering and uploading your immunization records, if required by your specific department. (NOTE: You will not be able to log in to the OPP site until you have an active class schedule.)

To fill out the health history form: 1. Go to https://moreheadstate.medicatconnect.com/.

2. Log in using your MSU ID number and password. Select “Forms.”

3. Select “MSU Online Health History.” Complete the form. (NOTE: If a student is under the age of 18, he/she needs a parent/guardian signature for permission to treat.)

4. Submit when complete and sign out of the OSH system. Failure to fully complete the form will result in the system logging you out, causing you to lose information you have entered.

Emergencies Patients with medical or dental emergencies that are life-threatening should go directly to St. Claire HealthCare’s Emergency Room for treatment. St. Claire HealthCare is a modern, multi-service hospital, located a few blocks west of the main campus of MSU with a 24/7 emergency room. Follow-up care, if desired, may be provided by CHS.

If a student is experiencing a crisis and wants to speak to a professional counselor outside of clinic hours, he/she should call the MSU Police at 606-783-2035.

Prescriptions Students should continue prescribed medication when they go to college and this information should be provided on the health history form. All medication should be in properly labeled containers. In addition to providing prescriptions for newly diagnosed problems, Counseling and Health Services staff will work with patients to monitor the maintenance of medications brought from home. If a student is receiving allergy injections, the storage and administration of the medication can be continued at the clinic.

Dental Services The bacteria in the mouth has been linked to poor medical, dental and mental health.

TEST SCORES

As an MSU Eagle, your standardized test scores in high school not only play a significant role in your college admission, they may also determine how long it takes you to graduate.

So, what do you do if your scores are below the readiness standard?

Retake the ACT or take The ACT Residual Exam If you did not prepare for the ACT, the most cost-effective action is to study, energetically prepare and retake it. Statistics show that careful preparation can lead to improved scores.

Since students who do not meet the readiness standards enroll in developmental courses their first semester, improving your score(s) saves tuition dollars and reduces the time it takes to graduate.

Developmental education courses are numbered below 100. They do not satisfy degree requirements but must be completed prior to enrollment in the required core English or Math courses. You may take the ACT Residual exam at the Office of University Assessment & Testing. There is a fee for this exam. Learn more at www.moreheadstate.edu/testing.

Placement Testing If you do not meet the readiness standards upon retaking the ACT, you are required to complete placement testing. Students must take placement tests in the subtest area(s) where they score below the readiness standard. Results determine whether the student will enroll in a college-level general education course or a developmental course.

47

Advanced Placement (AP) Credit For Advanced Placement (AP) credit to be applied to your transcript, you must fill out an “Application for Credit� form and have AP scores on file with MSU. The Application for Credit is available from University Assessment and Testing in 501A Ginger Hall.

You are encouraged to take placement test(s) as early as possible. Completion of placement testing is required prior to the first day of class.

You may come to University Assessment & Testing in 501A Ginger Hall to complete your assessment. Please plan at least an hour per test needed. If you need to take more than one test, please plan to arrive early to ensure you have plenty of time to test.

For more information, contact the Office of University Assessment & Testing at 606-783-2526 or visit www.moreheadstate.edu/testing.

Fraternity & Sorority Life 606-783-2071 | 121 E. Second St., 107 Enrollment Services Center Twitter: @MSU_GreekLife | www.moreheadstate.edu/greek As a student at MSU, fraternity and sorority life just may give you a few more letters you’ll grow to love. With more than seven percent of total student enrollment being members of a Greek letter organization, going Greek is a great way to get involved, gain support and build lifelong friendships. Taking on leadership positions in your chapter provides you with opportunities to lead committees, manage budgets and build your network through interactions with both faculty and administrators, community members and leaders, and fellow Greeks both locally and nationwide. Greek organizations wouldn’t have existed for more than 100 years if all they did was socialize. These fraternities and sororities value loyalty, friendship and honesty while emphasizing academic excellence and community service. When you go Greek, you also give back. MSU chapters provide over 4,000 hours in community service and raise $21,500 for local and national nonprofit organizations.

RESERVE OFFICERS’ TRAINING CORPS (ROTC) 606-783-2050 | Button Auditorium www.moreheadstate.edu/military Army ROTC is one of the most prestigious and recognized leadership courses in the country and is part of the MSU academic curriculum. All freshmen and sophomore courses are open enrollment and available to any student attending MSU. You do not have to be affiliated with the military to enroll in these courses and learn about basic leadership skills. You may even be able to apply course completion toward elective credit.

During classes and leadership labs and through various training exercises, you will learn first-hand what it takes to lead others, work as an effective team and eventually, how to conduct missions as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army. The Department of Military Science provides the tools, training and experiences to help you succeed in any competitive environment, whether you’re serving our country in the military or pursuing a civilian career.

Military science classes involve development in individual leadership, critical thinking exercises, group problem-solving activities, team development and communication exercises, and several out-of-classroom training events (obstacle courses, rappelling and land navigation). Opportunities to attend Military Skills Training Courses – such as Airborne School and Air Assault School – are available to students that elect to join the program.

The military science program also offers opportunities to study abroad as part of its Cultural Understanding and Language Immersion Program (CULP). Past cadets have been selected to conduct summer study opportunities in the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Tanzania, Paraguay, Burkina Faso and the Czech Republic.

VOLUNTEER SERVICE 606-783-2071 www.moreheadstate.edu/activities A great way to positively impact your community is through service. MSU’s Volunteer program directs the University’s community service program for students, faculty and staff.

Individual/Dual Sports Men’s, women’s and co-rec divisions are offered. Most activities are free with the exception of golf tournaments held at MSU’s Eagle Trace Golf Course.

Beaker You might find him at any number of Morehead State functions ‌ and he’s a real hit with the students. That would be none other than our very enthusiastic mascot, Beaker.

Beaker was born into the Eagle family in 1993 and he soon became an integral part of the atmosphere at Morehead State home sporting events. Beaker sported his classic mascot look from 1993 until 2009, when he received a makeover to the new sleek design of the current costume. His classic uniform was retired and placed into the trophy case in the Academic-Athletic Center.

During games, you can find Beaker chatting with the fans, doing the chicken dance with his buddies or even waiting in line for some delicious hand-dipped ice cream.

Away from the court, Beaker is proud to make community appearances at school and civic events.

Peer Leader ADVICE Academic Life •

Make friends in your classes to form study groups.

•

Definitely do not put homework off.

•

If you ever struggle in a class, ALWAYS try studying in the library. There’s a chance to find a tutor or maybe one of your classmates in there to assist you. Also, check Blackboard and email EVERYDAY.

•

Professors are not scary monsters. Get to know them. If you have a question or need something explained, go to their office. They have office hours for a reason.

Especially visit important professors in your department. You will thank yourself!

•

Be the student everyone wants to be. Students and faculty alike will be more likely to assist you if they see you are actively trying.

•

You will fail. Don’t let it eat you alive or discourage you from chasing your dream.

Learn from it, get up and keep pushing forward.

•

A five-minute break will not kill you. It will help you. Trust me. Don’t burn yourself out.

•

Stay on top of your work.

•

Put your phone face down on the desk and don’t touch it through class.

•

Stay organized (color-coordinated notes are the best).

•

Just say “hi” to the person sitting next to you. It makes class much less awkward and they are probably just as nervous as you are.

•

College is hard but if you study and go to class, you will make it.

•

Take full advantage of your advisors. They are one of the greatest resources you will have while on campus.

•

Learn time management quickly. Get a study groove established and don’t stray from it.

•

Do not wait until the last minute to do your assignments.

•

Look at your class locations in advance and know each professor’s name.

•

READ. YOUR. SYLLABUS. Use it as a bookmark, too.

•

Take 15 credits every semester so you will be on track to graduate, get involved in clubs/organizations that interest you and be open to expanding your comfort zone.

•

Plan ahead and don’t stress out.

•

The coursework is yours and yours alone. The professor will not give you a heads up.

80

•

Make friends in your major. You will thank yourself at midterms.

•

Class attendance is very important.

•

We’ve all been there. If you need help, don’t feel embarrassed to ask for it. It’s better to understand and get help rather than get a bad grade.

Campus Life •

Join a student organization. Get involved. There is something for everyone.

•

Get involved as soon as possible. Finding common interests among your peers will make all the difference in the world for a positive college experience.

•

Go talk to people. Get out of your room or invite people over.

•

Join groups and get involved on campus. It is the best way to make friends. But do not overload yourself, as your first semester will be stressful enough anyway.

•

Make as many friends as you can. Be active on campus. It is such a rewarding experience.

•

Don’t be afraid to use all the resources the campus offers, such as tutoring, clubs and events to get out and meet people.

•

Take advantage of all the activities the first weeks of school.

•

Morehead State offers so many resources that can help you find your place on campus and the career path for you. Take advantage of every opportunity and service and you will be soaring in no time.

Residence Life •

Don’t bring a ton of stuff from home when you first move in. Only bring what you need.

•

Do not overpack. Only pack the essentials.

•

Have healthy snacks in your residence hall room.

•

Only buy things you’ll actually use.

•

I wish I had known that you do not need 150,000 different outfits.

•

Living with random roommates isn’t as scary as it seems.

•

Always be prepared for quick weather changes when you pack clothes to bring to college. I wish I would have thought about this my freshman year because temperatures can change very suddenly.

•

Cook instead of always eating campus food. You’ll feel better.

81

General Transition •

I wish I would I have made myself more familiar with campus before moving in.

•

This can be your fresh start. People here don’t know your past and are less judgmental than kids were in high school. Embrace you.

•

Yes, there are parties but remember why you are here. Pace yourself.

•

You are responsible for yourself and, yes, that includes your laundry and trash.

•

Prioritize your mental health.

•

The first semester will be an adjustment, so don’t feel discouraged if you don’t do as well as you had hoped. The first semester is the hardest, but it gets better once you form good study habits.

•

Be prepared to adapt to the reality of a university. It is not what you see on television.

•

Everyone else is nervous too. It’s OK.

•

Be safe. If something doesn’t feel right, talk to a friend, your parents or your R.A. about it.

•

Everything will be okay.

•

Give yourself “me time.” It is great to be involved, but it is also so great to have time for yourself.

•

Get a backpack that has a side pouch that can hold a small umbrella; you’ll need it when it rains.

•

Don’t be afraid of change.

82
