Now that we are entering the second week of classes and you have likely attended each of your courses at least once, there are some important updates, deadlines, and reminders to keep in mind.
1.) The CNMS Advising Office will be holding walk-in office hours for advising support Mo-Th 10AM-12PM & 1PM-3PM in UC 205. If you are a new/incoming student please feel free to drop by at any time. Returning students should follow up with their assigned advisor (see here). Advisors can assist with schedule adjustments, registration troubleshooting, and general questions. Walk-in advising support is on a first come, first served basis and may result in a lengthy wait time during busy hours. Scheduled in person and virtual appointments can be arranged via email (CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu).
2.) Tomorrow, September 8th, all course waitlists are purged and deactivated. Be sure to check your schedule to determine whether or not you have gained a seat in your desired courses and ensure that you are registered for a minimum of 12 credits (for full time status) at all times. Be sure to make any/all adjustments to your schedule ASAP.
3.) As a reminder -- The last day of schedule adjustment (i.e. last day to add/drop/swap your classes) is Wednesday, September 14th. Once this deadline passes, all dropped courses will result in a withdraw or "W" on your transcript.
In essence, this week is about checking your schedule and making sure that you are all set for the semester. Be sure to begin assembling a solid study plan for your classes and ask for help well before you need to!
We look forward to helping you make this a successful semester!
