Issue
You want to know what Michigan Online x Coursera includes, whether you are eligible, how to enroll, how long access lasts, or whether participation affects academic credit, grades, or your transcript.
Resolution
What Michigan Online x Coursera includes
Michigan Online x Coursera gives eligible U-M students, faculty, and staff free access to virtually the entire Coursera catalog of courses and specializations created by academic institutions.
Some exceptions apply. Certain courses, professional or industry certificate programs, and online degree programs are not available for free enrollment.
Who is eligible
All current University of Michigan faculty, staff and students at the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses are eligible for access
How to enroll
-
Make sure you have a valid U-M email address.
-
Open the course or series page on Michigan Online.
-
Select U-M Free Access in the Enrollment section.
-
Sign in with your U-M uniqname and password.
How long access lasts
Current U-M students, faculty, and staff have access as long as they remain affiliated with the university and the course remains in the Michigan Online x Coursera catalog.
If a participating university removes a course from the catalog, you will have at least two months to complete it before it is removed. After graduating, students continue to have unlimited access to U-M-created courses and series hosted on Coursera or edX as alumni.
Academic credit, grades, and transcripts
Courses taken through Michigan Online x Coursera do not award U-M course credit. Enrollment and participation do not affect your U-M grades or transcript.
Additional Information
Alumni: Only eligible for open online courses and series created by the University of Michigan and hosted on Coursera or edX for free via the course page on Michigan Online. Courses from other institutions are not included. See Alumni Access knowledge base articles for more information.
