Congratulations current students!
You have started your spring 2012 courses and are one step closer to reaching your academic goals at M State. Keep moving ahead with M State's eCampus.

Important Announcements for the Spring 2012 Term

Please remember to check your College email account regularly. The College uses your email to send important reminders and information regarding your academic career at M State.

The last date to withdraw "W" from a course is 11:59 p.m. April 6, 2012. Use your EServices to do this. We strongly encourage you to work closely with your instructors, academic advisor and financial aid office before you decide to withdraw from a course or courses. If you have financial aid questions, please email financialaid@minnesota.edu well in advance of your decision.

The attached document entitled "Information for eCampus Students" contains important information regarding payment deadlines, drop/add deadlines and withdrawal/refund information for the Spring 2012 term. You will want to read this carefully. We have also attached a tip sheet on how to use E-Services and how to reset your E-Services password for your convenience.

Registration for Summer and Fall 2012 - Open Now!

Registration is now open
for eCampus students for Summer and Fall 2012. Register early for the best selection of courses and to prepare in advance for academic success. You can access the eCampus class schedule right from this page - see below.

For new eCampus students, you will need to talk with your advisor before registering. After you do so, you will receive an access code needed for registration. If you are a current eCampus student, we strongly encourage although do not require that you contact your advisor to discuss your plan for registration and to touch base on your overall progress toward the completion of your academic degree/program at M State.

Attendance is Important

We want you to succeed. Attending and participating in your courses is vital to your success. It's all so much easier if you simply maintain a fantastic record of participation in your courses from day one of the term. If you do not begin attending/participating in class during the first week of any term at the College, M State instructors are required to record you as "failing for non-attendance." This "FN" grade will block your financial aid disbursement. If you know that you are going to be absent during the first week, please contact your instructor/s immediately to let them know.

Better yet, attend and participate actively from day one of every term!

The attached document entitled "Information for eCampus Students" contains important information regarding payment deadlines, drop/add deadlines and withdrawal/refund information for the Spring 2012 term. You will want to read this carefully. We have also attached a tip sheet on how to use E-Services and how to reset your E-Services password for your convenience.

Students should also read the Student Handbook on the website for more information about important policies, procedures and services.
