You may notice a new informational banner has been added to the top of all UMBC Sites websites. This banner links to a central resource page at umbc.edu/federal-changes, which provides updates and support in response to recent federal executive orders and related agency actions. 

This update was implemented at the direction of campus leadership to help ensure our community is informed and supported. The banner is consistent across all Sites and is not editable or removable by site administrators.

The resource site includes:

• FAQs for international students, financial aid, and federally funded research
• A form where students, faculty, and staff can submit questions
• Campus communications and guidance
• Information on rights, protections, and university support resources

We’ll continue to update that page as new information becomes available. No action is needed on your part—this is just a heads-up for your awareness.
