Most 2026 AP Scores were released by the College Board this week. Congratulations to those students that did well on their AP exams!
If your scores will impact your Fall 2026 schedule (you are enrolled in a course you have credit for or your math credit will make you eligible for more major courses) you should make changes to your schedule soon as possible.
Even if you requested scores be sent to UMBC it still may take up to a few weeks for those scores to be received, processed, and evaluated. If you did not request the scores be sent to UMBC please make that request ASAP. Until the course equivalency is listed in your course history you won't be able to use it as a prerequisite to make schedule changes on your own. You can check to see if the course has been fully evaluated by going to myUMBC - Profile- Grades- Course History.
Advisors may be able to help you make schedule adjustments as long as you have proof of your scores. It is the student's responsibility to make schedule adjustments based on AP scores.
First, you should consult our AP transfer Policies to confirm that you will be receiving credit for your score.
Next, you will need to use the schedule planner or course search to put together a new schedule. All overrides are issued on specific sections so you will need to know exactly which section(s) you want to register for each new course. COEIT advisors can help with this process. You can schedule an appointment with any advisor here.
Once you have the section information you will need to reach out to the appropriate department to receive permission.
All communication must include your name, ID, specific section information, a screenshot of the required AP score, and if you are sending an email it must come from your UMBC email account.
For Computer Science and Engineering permissions: email coeitadvising@umbc.edu.
For Math permissions: submit a Help Ticket here.
For Chemistry and Physics permissions: email CNMSadvising@umbc.edu.
Please make sure to confirm that your scores were sent and received by UMBC prior to the start of the Fall semester. Overrides will not be given for Spring courses.
If you have any questions please email coeitadvising@umbc.edu.
