Campus Solutions, HR and Finance Systems Down Time


In order to facilitate a mandatory Student Administration upgrade, it will be necessary to take down the Campus Solutions, HR and Finance systems.  The systems will be down from Friday, September 13, 2019 5:00 pm, through Sunday, September 15, 2019 5pm.   During that time, you will be unable to retrieve information or perform transactions in the system.  We will make every effort to limit down time, and we will inform the Campus should the upgrade activities conclude earlier than anticipated. Other functions and applications in myUMBC will not be affected.


We apologize for the inconvenience.

Thank you.

Register by October 4th!
Are you interested in forming a Graduate Student Organization (GSO) this year? If so, please fill out the GSA’s online registration form by October 4, 2019 and this will ensure that your organization will be eligible for GSA funding this year.

Due to GSA’s senate restructure, GSO representatives will no longer be required to attend monthly GSA Senate meetings. GSOs are only required to submit two points of contact who will be added to our GSO email list so we can more easily communicate with you throughout the year. The structure of the group's leadership can be left up the GSO as well.  Please note that while GSOs no longer need to attend our monthly GSA Senate meetings, we welcome any GSO member to attend; you can find the list of Senate meeting dates here.   

After registering, GSOs can also begin applying for event funding by filling out an Allocation Request Form. All Allocation request forms will be reviewed monthly by the Grants Review Panel and you will receive communication from the GSA Community Liaison regarding the status of your request as well as instructions for reimbursement. 

This year, the GSA Senators representing the 3 different colleges (COEIT, CAHSS and CNMS) as well as the Non-Academic GSOs will be hosting town halls aimed at their college or group. Once we have set those dates, we will be in touch so you may spread the word to your peers and departments. 

Once all GSOs are registered, we will also offer training sessions to review event planning and reimbursement procedures, more information on those coming soon.   

Please let us know if you have any questions and we are looking forward to your participation this year!
