Who Can Participate in EXCO Classes?
Anyone. That's the whole point of EXCO: to be a truly public university by offering classes that are free and open to the public. No affiliation with any group is necessary.
What do I need to participate in an EXCO class?
You may need to buy books and other materials for your EXCO class, and your facilitator will let you know what those materials will be. EXCO has made recommendations to facilitators on ways to cut down on costs for participants, and encourages sharing materials among participants.
By when must I sign up for a class?
We ask that participants sign up for classes within the first couple weeks that the class begins. We encourage participants to contact facilitators directly to negotiate particularly late registration.
What is the obligation a participant has to the class?
If you are taking a class through EXCO for Independent Study credit at the U of M, then naturally you will negotiate your level of commitment with the EXCO instructor and the faculty member who signed your Independent Study form (often the same person). If not, then each EXCO class will determine what level of commitment or kind of obligation will be required of the participants.
How do I sign up?
You'll actually sign up for classes through the Twin Cities EXCO (of which U of M is one chapter) at www.excotc.org. The EXCO at the U of M partners closely with the EXCO at Macalester College; we pool our resources, and cross-list our classes. By signing up through this larger site, you'll also get to see what classes are offered at Mac's EXCO and if you take those classes, create the kind of trans-institutional community that is so central to EXCO's mission.
