Attention Mechanical, Chemical, Computer Engineering, and Computer Science Majors:
It’s time to start thinking about registration for Fall 2015. All students must meet with an advisor for pre-registration advising. Students will not be able to register for classes if they have not received registration clearance from their advisor.
Transfer students in their first semester at UMBC, regardless of gateway status, should follow the directions for students who have not completed the gateway.
Please see the information below to determine your next steps in the registration advising process.
Students Who Have Not Completed the Gateway:
Students who have not completed the gateway requirements for their major must meet with an academic advisor in ITE 202-206 in order to be cleared for registration.
This semester we are continuing to offer group and individual advising appointments. Group advising appointments require approximately 30 minutes of your time and give you the opportunity to review your registration plans with multiple advisors in a small group setting. Students who attend group advising will be cleared to register during the group advising session. Individual advising appointments require approximately 30 minutes of your time and give you the opportunity to meet with an advisor one-on-one. In general, if you are having academic difficulty or you have a large number of questions, an individual advising appointment is recommended.
If you attend group advising, you may still sign up to meet with an advisor individually to address any additional questions or concerns you may have. However, an individual appointment is not required.
An individual appointment is required for students on academic probation. Students on academic probation may not attend group advising.
Beginning on February 25th, sign up sheets for group advising appointments will be posted outside ITE 202-206. Sign up sheets for individual appointments will be posted beginning March 12th outside offices ITE 202-206. Please make a note of the date and time of your appointment.
Prior to your appointment:
1. Please review your scheduling options by looking over the schedule of classes, available starting on March 23rd, on the UMBC website HERE.
2. Review your degree audit – major and general education/foundation requirements, so that you are aware of the courses still needed to complete your degree requirements. Learn more about your degree audit HERE.
3. Review the sample 4-year plan for your major to determine where you are in the recommended sequence of courses. HERE
4. Check the Gateway requirements for your major and determine where you are in relation to the completion of this requirement. HERE
5. Come prepared to your appointment with a list of courses you intend to take in Fall 2015.
After your advising appointment, you will have clearance to register for classes. However, you will not be able to register until your assigned registration time. Your registration time is the earliest date and time that you may register for classes. For information about registration times, please go HERE. If you have not attended an advising session, you will not be able to register when your registration time occurs.
If you have a hold on your account, it is still important that you sign up for an advising appointment. Meeting with an advisor in advance of registration means that you will not have to worry about getting advising clearance once your hold is lifted.
