Office of First Year Programs

The Office of First Year Programs offers a variety of academic support programs to help students be successful at Morehead State University. For additional information, visit: www.moreheadstate.edu/firstyear or call 606-783-5208.

Disability Services

Assistance for students with physical, psychological and learning disabilities is available through the Disability Services office in accordance with the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Requested accommodations must relate to a functional limitation that you experience as a student at MSU, and if approved, will be provided at no charge. To qualify, you will need to submit documentation of a disability from an appropriate professional and confidentially discuss your needs with a Disability Services staff member. While you may pursue these services at any time, earlier contact may be in your best interest, as some accommodations take longer to arrange and they will not be applied retroactively. For more information or to schedule an intake session, call 606-783-5188 or visit: www.moreheadstate.edu/disability.

Success Academy

The Success Academy is a summer program of college instruction and tutoring services for new students.

Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR)

SOAR is a one-day overview of the educational opportunities and services at MSU. New students will learn more about MSU, register for classes and meet other students, faculty and staff. Students will also meet with academic advisors.  New freshmen or transfer students enrolling for the fall semester are encouraged to participate in the Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) program. SOAR is offered in April, June and July.

New Student Days

New Student Days provides fun and educational activities for new students the weekend before classes begin. All new freshmen and transfer students, including those that attended SOAR, are required to attend New Student Days. Students are notified of the specific dates and times of these activities upon their acceptance to MSU by the Office of First Year Programs.
