Registration for Fall 2025 is just around the corner which means that you will want to plan for a meeting with your assigned major advisor in order to discuss your academic plan and to remove your advising hold.
Keep in mind that advising is MANDATORY every semester and must be completed prior to registration for the upcoming term.
Check your myUMBC email (sent today -- March 3rd) for your advisor assignment and further instructions. Subject Line: "IMPORTANT: Advising Assignment for **FALL 2025** Registration."
Advisor assignments can also be found via the CNMS Advising website here (by major).
Newly or recently declared life science majors who do not have a listed advisor assignment should contact CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for support.
Most importantly, please follow any instructions provided by your assigned advisor regarding their procedure for scheduling an advising appointment and the deadlines that they set. Most faculty advisors begin offering advising appointments closer to the release of the spring schedule (March 24th).
A comprehensive chart for all registration dates/times can be found here. Initial registration times for undergraduate students will begin as early as April 1st for students who have earned 120 credits or more and will continue in descending earned credit order through to April 18th when all continuing students are eligible. You can verify your specific date/time for registration via your myUMBC account. **
