What are the technology requirements to take an UMN Morris Online course?
You will need a computer, a high speed Internet connection, a newer version of a web browser, and access to common tools and software like word processors, email, etc. Some courses may have other software or technology requirements as well.
What are the admission requirements for UMN Morris Online courses?
The UMN Morris Online program currently operates in semesters and each online course carries between two and four semester credits. Registration begins when the
course offerings
are listed on the
UMN Morris Online website
and continues until the first day of classes or the course is full. Please carefully read through the registration section for your student status before you register:
High school program (PSEO) registration

Current Morris student registration
Early registration, at least one week prior to the first day of class, is encouraged for any student who is not familiar with computer hardware, the Internet, email and software such as discussion boards or chat rooms. PSEO students should register at least one week before class start dates to ensure their textbooks arrive on time.
Is it possible to earn a degree through the Morris Online Learning program?
The Morris campus does not currently offer entire degree programs online. The UMN Morris Online program is a set of lower division general education courses that can be applied to an associate or bachelor's degree. Transferring these credits to any institution of higher learning is possible after admission criteria are met at that institution and upon review of the requested transfer credits by the transferring-in institution’s registrar. Please feel free to
contact the UMN Morris Online office
with your questions on registering for these courses. The
University of Minnesota Morris Admissions
office can assist you with your questions about admission to
Morris
Will I get credit for this course?
UMN Morris Online credit courses are comparable to in-person courses and appear on your University of Minnesota Morris transcript in exactly the same manner as an in-person course. You will receive University credit for these courses.
What does the course number mean?
The course number designates the level of instruction for which the course is intended. One thousand numbered courses are designed as introductory, general enrichment offerings. Unless otherwise specified, they require no previous background in the subject. Most of the UMN Morris Online courses meet general learning and elective requirements for an undergraduate degree. Three and four thousand level courses offer more advanced study and often have prerequisites.
Can I transfer credits to another institution?
If you would like to transfer these University of Minnesota credits to a degree program at another university, check with the registrar’s office or academic advising department of your home institution to be sure that credits will be accepted into your program plan. You may request that your Morris transcript be sent to another institution by following directions on the
Morris One Stop Student Services website
Can I find out more about these courses?
The courses are detailed in the
course offerings
. For further information, please

How long do I have to complete a course?
Fall and spring semester courses will be completed during stated weeks of the designated term in which they are offered. Most Summer Term courses are five weeks in length; a few are ten weeks. Assignments and course requirements must be completed by the due dates set by your instructor in the course syllabus. Any variance of this timeframe would need to be pre-approved by the instructor.
What happens if I don’t finish the course?
If you do not finish the course during the semester enrollment period, and if you do not request an incomplete, the course will appear on your University of Minnesota transcript with the grade of N (not completed), or a letter grade that reflects your course participation. You must officially drop from a course by the necessary deadline in order to remove the course from your transcript. You may also cancel the course and receive a “W” on your transcript and a
tuition refund
if you meet the refund deadlines for the semester.
What do online courses cost?
The tuition for Morris online courses corresponds to the tuition rates for University of Minnesota Morris in-person credit courses or comparable work, and varies depending on the number of credits.
Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Regents:
Cost of Attendance
The price of required texts, study guides, and other course materials is not included in tuition.
Financial aid for students enrolled in UMN Morris Online courses is based on financial need, enrollment, and degree status. Current financial aid awards to students enrolled in another postsecondary institution may be used to offset the tuition costs. For additional information or advising about financial assistance, please
contact the Financial Aid office
How do I contact my course instructor?
Instructors stay in touch with their UMN Morris Online students in a variety of ways, depending on the course design. Your instructor will explain the best way to reach him or her within the course home pages. You may communicate with your instructor through discussion groups, bulletin boards, chat rooms, assignment submissions, through email, or by telephone.
How are exams administered?
Proctored (supervised) exams may or may not be required for UMN Morris Online courses. For courses that require proctored exams, please consult the
Exam Policies
. Check your syllabus for details before arranging for a proctor.
Where do I take proctored exams?
You may
take proctored exams
by arranging for a qualified proctor to supervise your examinations at another location if you will not be on campus. Bring photo identification. Information within your course syllabus will let you know if you should bring anything else.
What do I do if I would like to drop or withdraw from the course?
You must
officially drop or withdraw
from the course in order to avoid receiving a grade of "F" or "N." The terms of your cancellation depend on how long you have been enrolled in the course.
A drop occurs within the first two weeks of class and will not appear on your transcript.
A withdrawal occurs after the first two weeks of class and will appear on your transcript.
By registering for classes, you are entering into a legally binding contract to pay all tuition and fees, including any nonrefundable fees.
Check the
cancel/add deadlines
for information about dropping or withdrawing from a class, including refund information, when permission is required, and when a "W " (withdrawal) will appear on your transcript.
