eCampus in the High School

eCHS courses are delivered online, asynchronously through D2L Brightspace by M State faculty. 

Daily, reliable internet access is required. A PC computer format is preferred. Some online courses may require a PC with Windows 10/11 operating system. Chromebooks will work with most courses, excluding those with specialized computer requirements (e.g. Business Computers). M State's Computer Help Center can help with Chromebook issues related to eCHS courses: call 218.299.6600. 

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.

Only late start classes are available for fall semester eCHS courses.

Contact Erin Warren, associate director of dual enrollment, at 218.736.1569 or email ECHS to begin the process with your school.

Online courses can be a good fit for many students. Successful online students typically are:

• Comfortable adhering to deadlines
• Committed to spending hours outside of school on their courses
• Interested in using technology as a learning tool
• Good time managers
• Responsible
• Self-motivated

Students must be prepared to devote adequate study/course work time outside of their high school day (two to three hours of coursework weekly for each college credit is expected). Students who prefer face-to-face interaction and/or do not like using technology as a learning tool typically are not a good fit for online courses.

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

M State 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 dual credit 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. Learn more at 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.
