<Title>Advance Registration for Fall 2013 - ONE WEEK LEFT!</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The last group of currently enrolled students will become eligible for Advance Registration on Tuesday, April 9th - just one week away! Registering in a timely manner helps you have the best possible selection of courses available to a student of your credit-count standing, and helps keep you on track for your degree.<div><br></div><div>Shortly after the 9th, General Registration will begin. This allows degree- seeking students who are NOT registered for Spring 2013 - plus all returning non-degree-seeking students - to begin signing up for classes. You may start to see some of those critical or popular courses fill up!<div><div><br></div><div>So, what do you do if you have an unpaid bill that's going to prevent you from registering right away, or if you are not sure if you will be coming back to UMBC in the Fall (for whatever reason)?</div><div><br></div><div><em><u><strong>SEE YOUR ADVISOR ANYWAY!</strong></u></em></div><div><em><u><strong><br></strong></u></em></div><div><span>Your faculty and staff advisors are focused on meeting with you during this time of the semester. If you miss this opportunity to meet with them, and your situation changes in a way that allows you to enroll at UMBC for the Fall, it can be very difficult to catch up with them during the summer months. Take advantage of their attention now!</span></div><div><br></div><div>Meeting with your advisor and getting Registration/Advising Clearance doesn't cost you anything but time, and doesn't obligate you to register. What it CAN do is make the registration process easier if you become able to register on very short notice. </div><div><br></div><div>Take some time to check this off your "To Do" list - you may be glad that you did!</div></div></div></div>

<Title>Registration for Fall 2013 is coming!</Title>

    <div class="html-content">Advance Registration for Fall 2013 (and Summer 2013) is due to begin on Monday, March 25th. That's the Monday immediately after Spring Break!<div><br></div><div>You will likely hear from your academic advisors in the next couple of weeks, but there are things that you can start doing <strong><em><u>now</u></em></strong> to get yourself ready for Registration...</div><div><br></div><div><ol><li><span>Make sure that you will be up-to-date on all of your bills and fees before Registration begins.*</span></li><li><span>Make sure that there are no other holds on your UMBC account. Most advisors do not have access to this kind of detail in your records, so be sure to check your own "Alerts" in myUMBC.</span></li><li>If you transferred in coursework from another school, or brought in  AP/IB/CLEP scores, check your Transfer Credit Report to make sure that everything is there. If courses or scores are missing or incorrect, check in with Admissions (to see if your complete transcripts/score reports were received) or the Registrar's Office (for errors in processing), and follow up with updated copies, if needed.</li><li><span>Look over your Degree Audit and identify the requirements (University, GEP, and Major) that you still need to fulfill.</span></li><li><span>Think about your short- and long-term goals, your academic performance (good and poor), and your non-academic responsibilities. All of these things should play a part in your decision-making process during Registration!</span></li><li><span>Make note of questions that you want to remember to ask your advisor.</span></li><li><span>If you are planning to take summer courses elsewhere, familiarize yourself with the UMBC <a href="http://bit.ly/Y4dAAM" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">policies</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/13oDrbw" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">paperwork</a> before you meet with your advisor. There may be additional rules/restrictions based on your major or academic history.</span></li></ol><div>FYI, registering for <a href="http://bit.ly/Xd2IlE" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Summer Session at UMBC</a> <strong><em>does not</em></strong> require advising clearance, and <strong><em>is not</em></strong> limited by your class standing. Everyone can begin registering for Summer 2013 on March 25th!</div></div><div><br></div><div>For items 4-6, the CNMS Advising staff has developed a worksheet to help students prepare for an advising appointment. You can find it in the Documents section of this myUMBC Group, or by following <a href="http://bit.ly/WinFwR" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this link</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>If you need some reminders about how to navigate SA to find your Transfer Credit Report, Degree Audit, and your Registration functions, you can find more information by following <a href="http://bit.ly/15RfE3u" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">this link</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>*<u><strong> Note</strong>:</u> If being financially cleared before your registration date isn't possible, <strong><em>SEE YOUR ADVISOR ANYWAY!</em></strong> Your advising clearance is not connected to your financial eligibility, so they can still see you if you are trying to get your finances worked out. Faculty advisors often carve out a special period of time in their calendar for undergraduate advising. If you miss that window, it can delay your ability to register for classes once your bills taken care of. Get in to see them when their attention is focused on working with you!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>
