Registration and Academics

 

Student ID card - the U Card

 

The U Card is a campus photo identification card used by students, faculty, and staff. It serves as your identification for various campus services, programs and activities, and offers optional long distance telephone and banking services.

 

You can also put money on your U Card at one of the “Cash to Card” machines on campus. This gives you the capability to use computer lab printers and to purchase lab equipment needed for some of your science courses.

 

You may have your U Card produced during Academic Orientation or any time after. You are encouraged to stop by the U Card office, 127 Kirby Plaza, to have your card made before the start of fall classes.

 

The U Card office is open Monday through Friday, 8 - 11 a.m. and 12 - 4:30 p.m.; confirm summer hours by calling 218-726-8814.

 

E-mail as Official Means of Communication

 

All students attending UMD are given University-assigned e-mail accounts. Check this account regularly for important information and messages. It is also recommended that you do not forward your E-mail from this account as you may lose messages or attachments. You can continue to access your UMD E-mail if you are away from campus by logging in through the internet at http://www.d.umn.edu/email.

 

Computer Lab Access

 

For information regarding computer lab access, please refer to the website.

 

Registration

 

The UMD Class Schedule is updated every semester and lists the courses with their credits, instructors, meeting times, and meeting rooms.

 

It is available on the Web at http://www.d.umn.edu/courseinfo/ in both the Online Version and Printable PDF of Class Schedules.

 

The calendar, final exam schedule, and all the information you will need to plan your own class schedule are available in the Fall 2005 Printable Policies/ Procedures Section PDF.

 

In addition to the liberal education sheet and major requirement handout, you will use several other resources to plan your schedule. You will receive a New Student Guide designed to help you through the transition to campus. It includes a listing of campus resources.
