MISIS University Freshman Guide (9.9 MB)
MISIS University creates the necessary conditions so that organizational and technical issues do not distract students from the educational process or require a lot of time. To create a comfortable educational environment, the university has implemented a number of digital services, which are consolidated in the student’s personal account and on the website edu.misis.ru.
The Student Personal Account is an aggregator that significantly reduces the time needed to access services, and organizes access to university resources and services. To register in the Student Personal Account, you need to enter your login in the format mXXXXXX@edu.misis.ru (where XXXXXX is your gradebook or student ID number). Registered users can use a single login and password for all MISIS University services.
The Student Personal Account includes all educational services:
- Online Schedule — here you can find up-to-date information about your schedule or class cancellations by regularly checking your account. This section also includes invitation links to online classes;
- Curriculum — this section allows students to see which subjects will be studied in each semester, what form of assessment will be used (exam or pass), and the final grade for each subject;
- Online Record Book — all grades are stored in the Student Personal Account. First-year students are not issued paper gradebooks; all information is available digitally.
Requesting Services (Order of Services)
In the Student Personal Account, students can remotely request certificates, extracts, and other documents. An operator will process the request, after which an email will be sent automatically when the document is ready, along with an invitation to collect it. Ready documents can be picked up at the Student Office (Room G-207) or received in electronic form via the Student Personal Account.
When requesting a certificate, you can choose the method of delivery:
- “In person” — a paper certificate will be prepared within three days;
