Welcome Back to Campus!
Tips for returning to our in-person campus community
Welcome back Retrievers! We are excited to have our campus community connecting again in-person. Whether it is your first time joining us, or it’s been a long awaited return, it’s expected that the transition back to campus will impact students in different ways.
You may be apprehensive about returning or you may be ready to jump in full speed ahead. Wherever you are, it is okay! UMBC is prepared to support you and help ensure that your return to campus is a successful one!
Below are some tips as you start the fall semester:
Take care of your emotional and mental well-being.
First and foremost, it’s important to check in with yourself throughout the semester and prioritize your personal health.
Proactively seek academic support.
While it may seem counterintuitive, seeking academic support before you encounter academic difficulty can help provide accountability and a solid foundation for tackling the workload you’ll face during the semester. The Academic Success Center offers a variety of support services, including appointment and drop-in tutoring, the Writing Center, academic success meetings, and much more.
Perhaps over the last year you’ve had time to reflect and are considering an alternative academic pathway. Advisors in the Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising (OAPA) welcome the opportunity to discuss your academic plans, including any potential major changes you are considering.
Additionally, consider attending the 4th Annual Major Event, virtually, on October 20th. This is great opportunity to further explore your major options, or connect with faculty & staff in your selected academic department.
Connect with other students in a way that feels right to you.
Building relationships with your peers provides you with an invaluable support network as you navigate back onto campus.
One way to do this is by joining a student organization. This year’s Involvement Fest , on September 9th, is offered in a hybrid format with both a virtual and in-person component.
If you are living on campus, The Office of Residential Life is hosting a variety of programs throughout the semester. There is also programming through the Off Campus Student Services offices for commuter students.
Still unsure about larger gatherings? Don’t hesitate to keep up with virtual study groups, video game sessions or outdoor meetings with a few close friends.
One Final Note: Please call or check a campus office’s website prior to visiting in-person to check their current protocols. While all offices are physically open this fall, some may be operating in a different capacity due to social distancing measures.
Ultimately, give yourself the chance the take this transition at a pace that feels right to you. In trusting yourself, you are sure to adapt well to the return to campus. We hope your semester is a great one!

Four Simple Steps to Graduation
You are so close to earning your UMBC degree! Keep up the momentum!
If you've earned 90 or more academic credits, you received a message from the Registrar's Office informing you that you are eligible to apply for graduation.
However, eligibility is only the start of the graduation application process. Below are four simple steps you can take now to ensure that you’ll soon be celebrating the completion of your UMBC degree.
Note: Even if you do not plan to attend the commencement ceremony, you still need to apply to graduate in order to earn your degree.
Step 1: Review your Graduation Card
Once you’ve earned 90 academic credits, you will have access to a Graduation Card on your myUMBC Profile page. The Graduation Card is a personalized, step-by-step guide that will ensure a smooth process forward until you cross the finish line with your UMBC degree.
Please be reminded that UMBC confers baccalaureate degrees to undergraduate students who successfully complete a course of study that meets the minimum university requirements outlined in the Undergraduate Baccalaureate Degree Completion Policy. Only those students who have every single requirement needed for degree completion (i.e., currently enrolled in all remaining courses and/or pending transfer credit to be sent to UMBC), will be permitted to apply for graduation and participate in the Commencement ceremony.
Step 2: Wrap up any outstanding details ASAP!
- If the major, minor, or certificate program listed in your graduation card is out of date, or if you have additional majors or minors that you need to add/remove, submit a new Declaration of Major form.
- If you have Advanced Placement or CLEP scores or transfer credits from another institution please make sure that you have an approved Verification of Transferability Form on file and are prepared to submit the official scores/transcripts.
Step 3: Apply for Graduation
You should check your Graduation Card periodically to ensure that you are staying on track with all degree requirements as this will be the only way to access the application for graduation when the time comes. Please note that students may only participate in one commencement ceremony based upon the semester in which all degree requirements will be complete.
If you intend to complete all degree requirements by the end of the Fall 2021 semester, please note that Wednesday, September 15th is the last day undergraduates can apply for December Graduation by logging into the Graduation Card on the myUMBC Profile page.
Step 4: Let the celebration begin!
Participating in the commencement ceremony and other celebratory activities on campus is the culmination of all of your hard work. Take time to recognize all it took to get you to this moment and be proud of your accomplishments!
Welcome Back Retrievers!
The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising is excited to welcome all of our new and returning students back to campus this fall! For some of you, this will be your first steps on the physical campus and we know many of you will have questions about how to access your Academic Advisor throughout the semester. We are here to help!
We are happy to offer virtual walk-in advising from August 31st through September 14th. During this time, you may log into our Virtual Front Counter to receive immediate one-on-one assistance from our staff, Monday - Friday between 10:00 am - 3:30 pm. Same-day appointments will also be available for students through September 14th. Please review UMBC’s COVID-19 response information before visiting campus.
Our Virtual Front Counter is a great place to get help with any of the following:
adding a class
- dropping a class
- waitlisting or swapping a course
- finding the perfect GEP course
Have more detailed questions about your major or academic pathway? In
addition to virtual walk-in advising, we also offer both in-person and virtual appointments. You don't have to wait until Advanced Registration to meet with your Academic Advisor!
Schedule an advising appointment online. You will have the option to choose whether you want this appointment in person or virtually via WebEx.
Already have a declared major? View information on academic advisors in your major using our Departmental Advising website.
Per current UMBC Policy, social distancing and masks are required in the office at all times, regardless of vaccination status. Campus building access is restricted to faculty, staff and students approved to work, live and take classes on campus, therefore additional guests are not encouraged to accompany student to in person appointments at this time.
