Registration

If I am not formally admitted to a degree program, may I register for classes?

Yes. If you registered during the past academic year see "How do I complete my registration?" If you have a bachelor’s degree and are not currently admitted to a degree-seeking program at the University of Minnesota, you are considered a non-degree-seeking student. How you register depends on how you plan to apply your credits earned.

Students seeking credit to apply toward M.Ed. programs or who do not plan to apply the credits toward any University of Minnesota program
Whether you plan to apply the course(s) to a master of education (M.Ed. initial licensure or professional studies) program or have no plans to apply the course(s) to any graduate or professional development degree program, you may register through Student Services. Professional school departmental masters tuition rates apply.

The first-time registration for non-degree-seeking students packet is available at Student Services, 110 Wulling Hall, 612-625-5815; e-mail: spsinfo@umn.edu. The packet includes two forms, which students must complete:

Forms in PDF format can be viewed and printed using Acrobat Reader software. You can download Acrobat Reader for free.

Students seeking credit to apply toward M.A., Ph.D., or Ed.D. programs
Students who plan to apply College of Education and Human Development coursework to a Graduate School program (master of arts—M.A., doctor of philosophy—Ph.D., or doctor of education—Ed.D.) should download and submit the Registration request for graduate credit (for non-degree students) [.pdf] or contact the University of Minnesota Graduate School, 308 Johnston Hall, 612-625-9364. Graduate School tuition rates apply.

Students seeking undergraduate credit
To register as a College of Education and Human Development undergraduate student, you must first get approval from a Student Services adviser.

How do I complete my registration?

First, consult an adviser, then refer to the Class Schedule (Section 1: Enrollment). The information there includes an enrollment checklist, details on enrollment options, and specific instructions for M.Ed. students in the College of Education and Human Development. If you have additional questions read "Additional information about registration" at One Stop or contact a professional adviser or registration specialist in Student Services.

You have four enrollment options:

  • via the Web at onestop.umn.edu/onestop/registration.html

  • online at any campus computer terminal;

  • in person at a Student Services Center (200 Fraser Hall; 130 West Bank Union; or 130 Coffey Hall); or

  • mail/fax enrollment is available for admitted undergraduate, M.Ed./professional studies, M.Ed./initial licensure, or non-degree-seeking students. Contact Student Services (110 Wulling Hall, phone: 612-625-6501, fax: 612-626-1580, e-mail: spsinfo@umn.edu).

Having trouble registering online?

Undergraduate students who have not registered within the last year must apply for readmission (See One Stop: Forms). M.Ed. students experiencing trouble may contact Student Services (110 Wulling Hall, 612-625-6501, spsinfo@umn.edu). M.A., Ph.D., and Ed.D. should contact the Graduate School. Holds on your registration are explained at One Stop.

Do I really need proof of immunization in order to register?

Yes, the University requires all students born after December 31, 1956, to provide documentation of two immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella, and a tetanus-diphtheria immunization within the last 10 years. All students are legally required to provide immunization information (i.e., the month and year that the immunizations were received); students who fail to provide the required information will have a hold placed on their records and will not be allowed to enroll for classes. Students who graduated from a Minnesota high school in 1997 or later will be exempt from this policy. If you need any of the required immunizations or for more information, call the Boynton Immunization Clinic at 612-625-8900. The student services fee does not cover these immunizations.

Is hospitalization insurance required?

All students taking six or more credits are required to carry hospitalization insurance. Degree-seeking students who do not have their own insurance may purchase the University-sponsored health insurance. If you enroll in six or more credits and you don't have hospitalization insurance, you will automatically be enrolled in the University-sponsored plan when you enroll in courses. If you already have insurance (through your parents, employer, or spouse), bring the name of your insurance company or HMO and your policy number when enrolling and you will not be charged for the University sponsored plan. Be prepared to provide written documentation of your coverage. For more information, call 612-624-0627.

What about the University student health insurance plan?

All students who pay the student services fee are eligible to receive most non-hospital medical services at Boynton Health Service (410 Church Street S.E., Minneapolis, MN 55455). For more information on insurance coverage and related fees, consult the student insurance office at 612-625-0627.

What's the tuition and fees policy?

Non-degree seeking students are required to pay all tuition and fees by the first billing date. Those non-degree students who do not pay will be canceled from their courses. University staff members who receive tuition exemptions, senior citizens, multi-University students, Post Secondary Enrollment Option (PSEO) and College in the School students are exempt from this policy. More information on this policy, including which students may be exempt, can be found at www.onestop.umn.edu/onestop/Registration/nondegree.html.

Will I be assessed a technology fee even if I don't use campus computer labs or other technology?

Yes, the technology fee is not a user fee. Rather, it is a fee to help build the technological infrastructure of the College, which aids and supports all students as you complete your program of study. The technology fee is mandated by the University's central administration, and each college is free to establish policy and fee structures; most range from $100 to $250 per term.

A college technology fee of $120 per term (fall, spring, summer) will be assessed to all undergraduate, non-degree-seeking, and M.Ed. students enrolled in the College and taking more than six credits. The college technology fee also is assessed to anyone enrolled in an education program through the Graduate School and taking more than six credits. All undergraduate and graduate students taking less than six credits (fall & spring terms) or two-five credits (summer term) will pay $60.

Students enrolling in education and human development courses and not admitted to a program in another college also will be assessed the technology fee at the above rates.

What is considered full-time graduate status?

To maintain their active status, graduate students must register every fall and spring term. Those who do not register in the Graduate School every fall and spring are considered to have withdrawn and their Graduate School records are deactivated. Deactivated students may not register for courses, take examinations, submit degree program or thesis proposal forms, file for graduation, or otherwise participate in the University community as Graduate School students. Those who wish to resume graduate work must request readmission to the Graduate School and, if readmitted, must register in the Graduate School for the term of readmission to regain their active status. For further information about the Graduate School’s registration requirements, refer to www.grad.umn.edu/current_students/registration/.

Grad 999 is a zero-credit, zero-tuition, non-graded registration option for Graduate School students who must register solely to meet the Graduate School’s registration requirement. Other than requiring Graduate School students to hold active student status, the Graduate School does not impose any eligibility requirements on Grad 999 registrations. Students considering registering for Grad 999 should first check with their graduate program.
