ATTENTION ALL RETRIEVERS!! 

Spring 2026 Advanced Registration is in full swing and ALL returning UMBC students will be eligible to register by the end of the day tomorrow -- 11/14! 

At UMBC, registration eligibility is determined by your number of earned credits and a comprehensive chart for all registration dates/times can be found here. **You can also verify your specific date/time for registration via your myUMBC account. **

As a reminder, however, advising clearance is mandatory every semester before you can register so if you haven't reached out to your advisor yet – what are you waiting for?!? Keep in mind that advising is by appointment only and availability can be limited during this time of the semester. Check your myUMBC email (sent on or around October 2nd) for your advisor assignment and further instructions. Advisor assignments can also be found via the CNMS Advising website here (by major) and via your myUMBC Profile. Newly or recently declared life science majors who do not have a listed advisor assignment should contact CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for support. 

** PLEASE NOTE: You will want to seek advising clearance as soon as possible and regardless of any other holds you may have on your account (financial, housing, ECR Training, health, etc.). Delaying your advising appointment may mean that your assigned advisor no longer has as much availability for clearance/support once the dedicated advising season has come to an end. **

Throughout the week, CNMS Advising is also holding walk-in registration/schedule building support in The Learning Collaboratory (UC 115) during Study Hall hours today 11/13 from 1PM-4PM and tomorrow 11/14 from 10AM-4PM. Peer advisors will be available to help you organize and build your schedule for next semester. In particular, they can assist with navigating Schedule Builder and utilizing the Class Search functionality. Please note that this support does NOT include academic advising, course suggestions, and/or advising clearance. Only your assigned advisor can provide that.  

As we head into this final week of Advanced Registration, make sure that you are READY to register by gaining advising clearance, SET your alarm for your earliest registration date/time, and REGISTER ASAP!
