New MBA Student Information
Welcome to Stetson!
We are happy to have you in our program and will be glad to help you along your journey in any way we can. This campus map may be helpful to you. You may also stop by the Office of Graduate Business Programs for a printed campus map. We would be happy to point you in the right direction.
Your admission letter and pre-registration form will be imprinted with your student number (often referred to as your “800 number” because they all begin with 800). As a graduate student, you are responsible for taking the initiative to obtain a student identification card. Visit the Meal Card and Student ID Office with your student number in hand and ready for your ID picture to be taken. This office is located in the Commons dining area of the Carlton Union Building. You should obtain this ID card prior to or at the start of your first semester. You will need this card to check out library books, receive a parking permit and for various other privileges. Contact the Meal Card and Student ID Office at (386) 822-7782 for hours of operation.
A parking permit can be issued to you by bringing your Student ID to the Public Safety Office on 405 N. Amelia Avenue. You will have one week, beginning with the first day of classes, to register your vehicle. Parking permits are $75 for the first vehicle and $1 for a second vehicle. They expire after every school year and you must have a new parking permit at the start of every fall semester. The Public Safety Office will provide you with a copy of a parking map and regulations. The Public Safety Office located on the northeast corner of Amelia Ave. and E. Michigan Ave. is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year and may be reached at (386) 822-7300.
Textbooks, supplies, and official Stetson University merchandise may be purchased at the Bookstore located between Griffith Hall (Admissions Office) and the Carlton Union Building. You may also utilize their online order service at www.bookstore.stetson.edu. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm. During the fall and spring semesters the bookstore is open most Saturdays from 10:00am-1:00pm (except around campus holidays). The bookstore’s phone number is (386) 822-7160.

In addition, the Help Desk will grant you access to Blackboard – Stetson’s online course management system. Professors sometimes utilize Blackboard to post syllabi, assignments, articles, grades, and may encourage the use of its discussion boards.
