MLS Student Resources

WE'VE MOVED!

E-MAIL ADDRESSES FOR MLS/IS STAFF HAVE CHANGED:

  • MLS/IS staff no longer use e-mail addresses that end with "cce.umn.edu." We are now using the central U of M e-mail system.  See "Faculty & Staff Profiles" on this Web site.

  • To find other faculty and staff contact information, check the "People Search" option from the U of M Web site.

CHECK YOUR U OF M E-MAIL!

  • It is important that you check your U of M e-mail account. It is the University's official means of communicating with you.

  • If you prefer to have your U of M e-mails forwarded to a different e-mail account (e.g., your personal e-mail account through hotmail or gmail), do the following:

  • Go to https://www.umn.edu/dirtools

  • enter your ID/password

  • click on "Set E-mail Forwarding and Autoreply"

  •  under "Send e-mail to" - click "Other" and enter your preferred e-mail address

STAY IN CONTACT WITH YOUR FACULTY ADVISER:

  • We strongly encourage you to meet with your faculty adviser(s) regularly.  It's especially important if you haven't done so for a term or so, if the focus of your studies has changed, if you are about halfway through the program (12 credits or more), and it's time to complete your Degree Program Form and Final Project Proposal, or if you are fast approaching the Final Project seminar. 

SEMESTER DROP/ADD DEADLINES:

ZERO CREDIT REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT:

  • ALL Graduate School students are required to register every fall and spring term in order to maintain active status. If you are unable to register for a course, you need to register for GRAD 999, a zero-credit, zero-fee, non-graded registration option (late registration fees will be assessed). No permission number is required.  Please see the Graduate School Web site for information on how to register for this zero-credit option.

FINANCIAL AID AND OTHER RESOURCES:

CAREER RESOURCES

  • Contact Jo Ellen Lundblad (612-625-3898 or lundb002@umn.edu) if you need help in creating your resume, have questions about conducting a job search and setting up informational interviews, or other career development needs you may have.  Her services are free!

  • See "Career and Lifework Planning" for services available through the College of Continuing Education.

  • Breeze Workshops are available on career building. Check out online resources for Resume Writing and Job Fair Success. 

WAIT - THERE'S MORE!

UPDATING YOUR PHONE NUMBER/ADDRESS ON ONESTOP:

  • If your contact information has changed, you should update it on the Onestop Web site:

VIEW OR PRINT UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS ONLINE:

  • You can easily access a copy of your current unoffical transcript.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

The University of Minnesota OneStop is a central resource for all general U of M policies and procedures. This indexed site will answer many of your general questions.

The Graduate School homepage can help you learn about Graduate School policies as well as research grad-level courses offered by other U of M departments.

Finally, the MLS staff is always happy to help you navigate the policies and procedures of the University. If you have questions, please contact us at 612-626-8724 or ccemls@umn.edu
