How do I sign up for classes?

Once you are admitted, you will get your student ID number and password. You will need this information to register online.

IMPORTANT: As an exchange student, you enroll directly in courses at UM, and therefore there is no guarantee that there will be enough space in every course requested. Courses may also be cancelled before the start of the semester. Consequently, you should plan on identifying a number of possible alternate courses in the event that preferences cannot be accommodated.

Business Students and Engineering students should be advised that you will not be able to take classes unless a direct exchange is in place between your Business School or School of Engineering and ours.

Transcripts

Two copies of your official transcript are sent to the Exchange Coordinator at your home institution. One of the copies is for you and you can pick it up from him/her. Additional copies can be requested by going to the “Records and Registration” link on Testudo. Transcripts will be sent to the address that you indicate.
