Make final changes to spring 2021 classes by Monday, January 4

It is imperative to make final changes to fall classes as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, January 4, 2021. Late class changes can negatively impact students financial aid eligibility, retention, and degree progress. It is the department’s responsibility to make changes prior to this deadline.

Changes that should be made by January 4 include the following:

• Credit changes of any kind (e.g., reduction, addition, variable to set, set to variable, etc.)
• Grading basis changes of any kind (e.g., A-F only to S/N only, S/N to A-F only, etc.)
• Class cancellations
• Career changes
• Repeat allowance updates
• Component changes

After January 4, ASR will formally review each class change requested. Many changes are not directly accommodated after students are enrolled and financial aid has been disbursed.

How do I make the change requests?

Changing credits

• If choosing a set number of credits for a variable credit class, request your changes by emailing ocmsched@umn.edu.
• If a reduction or addition to course credits needs to be made, submit your changes through ECAS.

Changing grade basis, career, component, and/or repeat allowances

• Submit your changes through ECAS.

Canceling a class with low enrollment

• Change the Class Status to “Stop Further Enrollment”
  (on the Enrollment Control tab of CCS).
• Notify all enrolled students directly and offer alternate options.
• Email ocmsched@umn.edu to process your cancellation (and drop students).
  Note: If your college requires collegiate approval for cancellation with low enrollment, also refer to your college procedures.

Canceling a class with zero enrollment:

• Change the Class Status to “Cancelled Section”
  (on the Enrollment Control tab of CCS).
