Welcome to Spring 2026!  

As you prepare to return to UMBC, and start in-person classes on Wednesday, January 28th, we encourage you, when feasible, to communicate directly with your faculty if you anticipate needing flexibility. The earlier you are able to share your circumstances, the better. If you are unable to communicate in advance, following up with your faculty as soon as you are able to do so is also advisable.

If you do not hear back from a faculty member, or if you experience additional challenges, please reach out to your academic department for guidance. Academic advisors in each college are also an available resource if you are unsure who to contact regarding your specific situation.
