In response to recent questions and concerns about Topics Courses, the Office of Undergraduate Education has worked with Academic Support Resources, course schedulers, and others to collect questions and develop written materials to explain the principles and processes.
- The first document outlines the guiding principles around topics courses, and explains the review processes for getting topics course shells and individual topics titles approved and active in ECAS.
- The second document gives step-by-step instructions for schedulers who are managing the offerings of topics courses in the class schedule.
Please review the documents and contact oue@umn.edu with any questions or comments. Your feedback is important to us as we continue to improve these resources.
