Welcome to Early College at UM!

Taking a college class while you’re still in high school? That’s a big deal — and we’re excited you’re here!

Being an Early College student means you’re getting a head start on your future. But it also means stepping into the college world — where you're in charge of showing up, staying on top of deadlines, and reaching out when you need help.

Before your class begins, here’s what you need to do to be ready:

• Know when the UM semester starts and the first day of your class

• Set up your UM email and check it often (important info goes there!)

• Log into Canvas (your online classroom) and CyberBear (your student account)

• Read your Syllabus

• Email instructors from your UM email — they won’t recognize your high school one!

You’ve got this!

What to Expect from Your College Class

Your Syllabus

One of the first things you’ll receive in any college class is a syllabus — this is your roadmap for the entire course. It includes important details like deadlines, grading policies, communication expectations, and when exams or major projects are due. Think of it as a contract between you and your instructor. By enrolling in the class, you're agreeing to follow what’s outlined in the syllabus.

Reading and referring back to your syllabus regularly can help you stay organized, avoid missed deadlines, and know what to expect throughout the semester. If you're ever unsure about something in the class, start by checking the syllabus — chances are, your answer is in there.

How Your Class Will Be Taught

ÁÔÆæÖØ¿Ú courses are offered in three different formats, also called "modalities." As an Early College student, it's important that you understand how your class will be taught and what is expected of you in that format.

In-Person

• You will attend class on campus on specific days and at specific times.

• You may need to pay for parking, so plan ahead.

• Final exams may be scheduled at a different time and day than your regular class schedule. Finals Week is the last week of the semester. Check your syllabus early and plan accordingly.

Online – Asynchronous

• These classes do not meet at a set time.

• You must log into Canvas on the first day of the semester to access your course.

• You are responsible for keeping up with weekly assignments, deadlines, and participation, including possible discussion posts.

• Time management is important — you will need to pace yourself and stay on track.

Online – Synchronous

• These classes meet online at specific days and times, usually via Zoom or another video platform.

• Log into Canvas on the first day of the semester to find course details.

• Your instructor may also send important information to your UM email.

• Just like in-person classes, finals may not follow your regular schedule — check your syllabus to avoid surprises.
