To all Twin Cities students: fee refunds approved by the Board of Regents on April 7 will be applied to student accounts this week.

To Twin Cities faculty and spring 2020 undergraduate students: we have extended the deadline for Twin Cities undergraduate students to change the grade basis for Twin Cities undergraduate courses from A-F to S/N until after grades are posted; deadline to submit a request to change the grade basis to S/N is 11:59 p.m. CDT on May 22, 2020.

To all Twin Cities faculty and instructors: I want to express my deepest appreciation and admiration for your extraordinary efforts during this semester.

To Twin Cities faculty: We are soliciting pandemic-related courses for Fall 2020. Courses don’t need to be about COVID-19 specifically. We have heard about course ideas rooted in science, policy, history, psychology, economics, and more.

To Twin Cities faculty: Given your critical work in carrying out the educational mission of the University, we wanted to share with you a communication that was emailed to students earlier this week.

To all Twin Cities faculty and staff: all summer non-curricular events for May and June are cancelled (unless they can be offered online). We will evaluate our decision for July non-curricular events in approximately mid-May, providing more time for public health information and the course of the pandemic to evolve.

To all Twin Cities faculty: The University of Minnesota is launching a curriculum in summer 2020 for students who are interested in studying topics related to our current situation. We have some existing courses that could be taught over the summer to contribute to this curriculum and there is also opportunity for new courses to be offered.
