Requests for permission to enter a closed Math Class should be directed by email to
ugrad@math.umn.edu.
DISTANCE LEARNING (ODL) MATH COURSES are administered by the College of Continuing Education. Any questions regarding ODL Math Classes, how and when to register to an ODL class, etc. should be directed to The College of Continuing Education: cceinfo@umn.edu.
PROCEDURE TO REQUEST PERMISSION TO ENTER A CLOSED MATH CLASS:
SEND AN EMAIL TO ugrad@math.umn.edu with this information:
- 4-digit course number (Ex. Math 1001) and term (Fall 2011) in the "subject" line of email;
- Student Name and U of M ID number (if you have one) in the main text of the email;
- For each section of each course include:
- Course Number (Ex.: Math 1001)
- Section Number (Ex.: 012)
- Class number (5-digit Ex.: 12345)
- Reason(s) why you can't register to open section(s) in course(s)
Without this information, the reply to your email will be a request to provide the missing information. Permission requests for math classes will not be considered until the registration queue begins!
TIME LINE FOR RECEIVING PERMISSION OR DENIAL TO ENTER A CLOSED MATH CLASS:
- Target response is 3 (three) business days (M-F) after our office received request
- If volume of requests is high, response may take longer
- Inquiry by email as to status of request should not be made until after 5 (five) business days (M-F) following sending request
TIMELINE FOR REGISTERING AFTER PERMISSION TO ENTER A CLOSED CLASS HAS BEEN GRANTED: Permission to enter a closed/restricted section
will be active only for a specified period [included in email response to student].
DELAYS IN PROCESSING REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO ENTER A CLOSED MATH CLASS:
- Missing information needed to process request
- Multiple requests for same class from same individual (increases volume of requests)
- High volume of requests
DENIAL OF REQUEST FOR PERMISSION TO ENTER A CLOSED MATH CLASS:
- Maximum enrollment cap for class has been reached
- Student does not have prerequisite requirement(s)
- Student does not meet the criteria of the priority seating
- Student not able to register that day (due to hold on record or not student's turn in registration queue)

- CSE students (students who have at least one current program in CSE)
- non-CSE students who have previously completed or are currently enrolled (Spring 2012) in the prerequisite CSE Calculus course.
- After the registration queue for Fall 2012 classes (beginning May 4, 2012), priority seating may be reserved for incoming CSE transfer students
IF YOU DON'T MEET ANY OF THESE CSE CALCULUS COURSE CRITERIA, then you should register to one of the equivalent courses:
- Math 1271 (Calculus I)
- Math 1272 (Calculus II)
- Math 2243 (Linear Algebra & Differential Equations)
- Math 2263 (Multivariable Calculus)
AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF FALL SEMESTER 2012 CLASSES, non-CSE students who have the prerequisite course work completed can contact ugrad@math.umn.edu regarding possible entrance into CSE Calculus courses. (See "Procedure" to request permission to enter a closed math class and for the information which needs to be included in that request. However, because of high demand for these courses, permission for entrance may be unlikely.
HONORS MATH COURSES
- Lower Division Honors Math Courses (1571H, 2573H, 3592H): contact UHP Honors Adviser, Kathryn Jensen (20 Nicholson Hall or
jens0553@umn.edu) for permission procedures.
- UPPER DIVISION Honors Math courses (Honors Algebra Math 5286H & Honors Analysis Math 5616H) - a permission number request must be made to ugrad@math.umn.edu if the student is:
- Non-Honors/non-CSE Honors (including graduate students)
- Honors student taking a 5xxx level Honors Math course for the first time
