Now that you’ve completed orientation advising, please check out the following information!
Here are a few tips to keep in mind this summer!
Check the details. Before you add or drop a course, check the course description and prerequisites first. This change may impact the rest of your schedule.
Monitor your schedule. If you’re on a waitlist, check the status often in myUMBC. You’ll be automatically enrolled if other students drop the class ahead of you. Class meet location may also change closer to the start of the semester.
Check your UMBC email. UMBC communicates everything to you through your UMBC email address including deadlines, registration information, campus-wide events, and other news.
Stay informed about Health and Wellness at UMBC. For news, updates and information on health and wellness at UMBC, check out Retriever Integrated Health resources.
Make sure you save the dates! The first day of Fall classes is August 25, and the last day to make schedule changes for the semester is August ???. You can also view the full academic calendar for the Fall 2025 semester here.
