Dear Graduate Students,
As we approach the upcoming academic year, I am writing to encourage you to finalize your course selections and enroll for the Fall 2026 semester. I understand that managing your finances may be a primary concern, however please note the following:
- You can complete your registration for fall courses as soon as possible without an immediate financial transaction or bill.
- Fall 2026 tuition bills will not be disseminated until August 1 and are not due until August 20, which allows for those awaiting funding or financial aid to be processed and reflected on your account. Click here to view UMBC's billing cycle.
- Your academic department leaders need to get a sense of course enrollment to determine whether a class will reach the necessary threshold to run as scheduled.
Thank you for your continued dedication to your program of study. Your presence and participation in our scholarly communities are vital to UMBC's success.
Thank you,
Dr. Christa Porter
