Some undergraduate students noticed-- and brought to the attention of Election Board, thank you!-- that they were unable to access the myUMBC SGA Elections 2026 group at the start of Election Week on Sunday, April 12th.
We immediately submitted an inquiry into this issue and received a resolution today.
The original roster shared with Election Board included students that met three qualifications:
- UMBC undergraduate students;
- actively enrolled in at least one credit hour;
- who had paid the Student Activities fee (which funds SGA).
We have learned that 877 students were missing from this list due to their status in regards to payment of the Student Activities fee. We have received a new list that focuses only on two qualifications:
- UMBC undergraduate students;
- actively enrolled in at least one credit hour.
Since a students' status in regards to paying the Student Activities fee is fluid and can be updated at any time, we have elected to use this second list. We have updated access to the myUMBC SGA Elections 2026 group accordingly.
If you are experiencing issues accessing the SGA Elections 2026 group and believe you are eligible to cast your vote, please do not hesitate to contact Election Board. You can reach the Election Board chair, Elle, at g181@umbc.edu. You can reach the Election Board advisor, Lesa, at lgoodhue@umbc.edu
