eCampus in the High School

The eCHS courses are delivered online to participating high school students by M State faculty instructors. Daily, reliable internet access is required. A PC computer format is preferred. Some online courses may require a PC with Windows 11 operating system. Courses are delivered through D2L Brightspace and are conducted in an asynchronous format.

1. Visit M State's Class Schedules webpage. 
2. Uncheck all campuses except 'online', select the term, set results per page to 'all' and apply the filter for a list of M State's online courses. 
3. To narrow the search by goal area or subject, select 'show advanced' filters.

Please pay close attention to the start dates as some courses begin in August, and others begin in September.

The responsibilities of participating high schools include:

• Initiate and complete the application for admission, Accuplacer assessment and registration of participating students
• Provide enrolled students with an instructional period with access to a networked computer
• Provide a key contact person, payment of tuition, and the purchase and provision of course required books and/or resources

Tuition is set at $170 per credit.

• 2-credit course will cost $340 per student
• 3-credit course will cost $510 per student
• 4-credit course will cost $680 per student

Textbook costs are additional, and school districts are responsible for those costs.

Contact Erin Warren at 218.736.1569 or echs@minnesota.edu to begin the process with your school. eCHS requires a one-page application process for all students. Students do not have to complete an application if they are already admitted into M State's Concurrent Enrollment Program. M State will complete all registration processing for high schools.

Online courses can be a good fit for many students. Successful online students typically are self-motivated, responsible, comfortable adhering to facility-driven deadlines, committed to spending hours outside of school on their online courses, interested in using technology as a learning tool, and able to manage their time effectively. 

Students must be prepared to devote adequate study/course work time outside of their high school day. Students who prefer face-to-face interaction and/or do not like using technology as a tool in the learning process do not typically present a good fit for online courses.

eCHS has a streamlined assessment, application and registration process. To start the process for your students, email echs@minnesota.edu or call Erin Warren, associate director of dual enrollment, at 218.736.1569.

The college evaluates student satisfactory academic progress after each term. If a student has not met either the college's GPA or completion percentage standard, the student will be placed on warning status for one evaluation period.

GPA Minimum Requirements:

• 0-5 credits - 0.00
• 6-23 credits - 1.75
• 24 or more credits - 2.00

Minimum Required Completion:

• 0-5 credits - 0 percent
• 6-23 credits - 58 percent
• 24 or more credits - 66.6 percent

Students on warning status are eligible to continue taking concurrent courses. If at the end of the warning period the student meets both the cumulative GPA and completion percentage, the warning status is ended, and the student is returned to good standing. If at the end of the warning period a student has not met the requirements, the student shall be suspended and not able to register for one semester unless he or she appeals the suspension. Students on probation will need to achieve a minimum term GPA of 2.15 and a 75% completion rate to continue on probation status. More information can be found in the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy. Please note that a student's academic standing at M State is in effect at all colleges and universities in the Minnesota State system.
