Winter Weather Reminders Sign up for emergency text alerts
Dear UMBC Community, 

As the weather grows colder, we want to take this opportunity to update you on UMBC's response to inclement weather and our policies and procedures for weather-related delays and closures. 

If you have not done so already, please sign up for our emergency text alerts. This is the most effective way to receive urgent updates for weather-related delays, closures, and campus emergencies. In addition to text alerts, we will also post alerts on both the UMBC homepage and myUMBC. 

Please note that the decision to close campus or open late applies to the UMBC campus only. For community members not located on campus, please follow the protocols for your specific location. This includes: 


When it becomes necessary to close the campus for inclement weather, employees designated as essential personnel must report. Decisions about Administrative Leave for all other employees will be made based on the weather conditions that day and communicated accordingly. 

If campus remains open, please use personal judgment when traveling to and from campus as weather and road conditions vary by your personal location. The decision about whether it is safe to travel ultimately rests with each individual. Please be sure to communicate early and often with your supervisor should you have any concerns. It is our goal to keep you safe and warm this winter. 

Read more about UMBC's policies and procedures for inclement weather, including information on how and when decisions are made, response plans, and details on how delays and closures impact events, parking, and more. 

Wishing you and your families a happy and healthy season.

Good Morning,

This is a reminder from the AAOU SSC that any new employees who started working after the first banked holiday (Presidents Day) will need to plan to use personal or vacation leave for any banked holidays in which they were not yet employed with the University. 

It is very important timesheet approvers review all timesheets for accurate recording of leave during the winter break especially for employees hired this calendar year that may not have banked all holidays that are used during UMBC's winter break closure.

Below are the three banked holidays. The first date listed on the left hand side is the date we observe them during winter break, and the date to the right of the holiday is the actual date of the holiday in which the employee would have needed to be employed on or before in order to bank that holiday for use during winter break:


Example: Presidents Day 2/20/23 was our first banked holiday of this calendar year. It will be observed on December 26, 2023 during the winter break. If an employee was not employed with UMBC on Feb 20, 2023 or prior, they would not have received that banked holiday and will therefore need to record leave (either personal or vacation) on 12/26/23 and can not list HOL on their timesheet for that day.

If you have any questions you can always submit a General Inquiry here:

Thank you!

Mark your calendars!

Good Morning,

Please make sure to review this important update from HR and to plan accordingly for these tight turnaround times ahead:

Due to the upcoming winter holiday break and early file submissions to the Central Payroll Bureau, the Payroll and HRIS units are required to meet strict and compressed processing deadlines. As a result, the deadline for timesheet approvals has been impacted for the period ending 12/16/2023 (timesheets for pay period 2024-13).

Timesheet submissions and approvals for pay period 2024-13 (ending 12/16/23) are due by 5 pm on Monday, December 18th, 2023. Although timesheets may be submitted early, the approver may NOT approve the timesheet before the pay period has ended (not prior to December 17, 2023). 

Due to the extremely tight ETS approval deadline, timesheet approvers must coordinate with their employees to ensure timesheets are submitted in enough time for review and approvals. Timesheet approvers who will not be available to review and approve timesheets should communicate with the payroll preparer and alternate approver accordingly. 

Late timesheet submissions and approvals will have a critical impact to hourly employees' pay, employees earning overtime, and leave information in time entry for PR14. Timesheet data for pay period 13 must be approved in order to load into time entry for payroll 14. 

Time entry for PR14 is a ONE DAY time entry and is scheduled to open on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. 

Questions may be directed to Sherrell McNamara, HRIS Manager, mcnamara@umbc.edu. If you have any concerns you can always send a General Inquiry to us here:

Accessibility Workshop and Bb Ally Webinar

Creating accessible courses requires thoughtful consideration of diverse learning styles and strategies that result in fostering engaging learning experiences for all students. These strategies include leveraging Universal Design for Learning principles to guide course design that offers variety to all learners.

Faculty can utilize Blackboard Ally to provide multiple content formats and empower students to use Ally's alternative formats to meet their learning styles. Additional resources about course usability and accessibility, including the chance to connect with peers, can be accessed by using your QM login to enroll in the Accessibility and Usability Resource Site (AURS).

Highlights of these approaches include the following:  

Universal Design for Learning Guidelines

  • Review UDL guidelines that support offering multiple means of representation to learners by employing various formats such as text, audio, and visual materials to accommodate diverse learning preferences. 
  • Foster engagement by incorporating interactive elements, discussions, or hands-on activities that cater to visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners. 
  • Ask yourself these key questions about learner engagement, representation, action and expression when designing a module or unit in your course. 
  • Implement UDL incrementally and intentionally. Refer to scholarly works like Behling & Tobin (2018) for guidance. They encourage faculty to think of UDL as "plus-one thinking about the interactions in your course" (p. 134). For example, is there just one more way you can help students stay on task, give them information, or demonstrate skills? The answers can help unlock a UDL strategy for your course. 

Bb Ally for Remediation, Alt Text

  • Explore accessibility tools and built-in features that allow you to cater to students with different  abilities. For example, Ally is a tool available in Blackboard Ultra that improves the accessibility of courses by scanning course content, generating an Accessibility Report, and providing tools to fix accessibility issues.
  • Use Ally's Instructor Feedback Panel to preview content and prioritize remediation.
  • Consider Ally's powerful alternative format options and let students know they can download content in multiple formats that give them choices in how they watch, read, or listen. 

QM's Accessibility and Usability Resource Site 

  • Register for free access to Quality Matters Accessibility and Usability Resource Site (AURS), the go-to resource for educators to address key accessibility and usability concerns. Log into MyQM, or create your QM account. After successfully logging in, use the side navigation menu to select "Workshop-Register" and self-enroll in AURS (last item on the workshop list).
  • Explore resources, videos, and best practices on topics like UDL, alternative text, captions, hyperlinks, accessible MS Office products, readability, accessible PDFs, accessible course design, and inclusive teaching practices.
  • Connect with colleagues through AURS discussion forums to seek and incorporate feedback to refine course design that supports an inclusive learning experience. 

Save the dates!

Instructional Technology will offer an accessibility workshop in January and a Bb Ally webinar in February to share best practices in course accessibility and usability. To learn more and register for an event, follow us on myUMBC.

As the Spring semester (starting end of January 2024) approaches, I am on the hunt for a room near the UMBC shuttle.

Here's a bit about what I'm looking for:
Budget: Up to $600/month
Requirement: Close to the UMBC shuttle route for convenient commuting
About Me: I'm clean, friendly, and Considerate!

If you have a room available or know someone who does, please don't hesitate to contact me at 240-930-1568. I'm keen on finding a place where I can be a great roommate and contribute to a positive living space.

Thanks for considering! ]]> Hello! As the Spring semester (starting end of January 2024) approaches, I am on the hunt for a room near the UMBC shuttle.

CRITICAL:  *Please share this information with your departmental employees*

Due to the upcoming winter holiday break and early file submissions to the Central Payroll Bureau, the Payroll and HRIS units are required to meet strict and compressed processing deadlines. As a result, the deadline for timesheet approvals has been impacted for the period ending 12/16/2023 (timesheets for pay period 2024-13). 

Timesheet submissions and approvals for pay period 2024-13 (ending 12/16/2023) are due by 5 pm on Monday, December 18, 2023. Although timesheets may be submitted early, the approver may NOT approve the timesheet before the pay period has ended (not prior to December 17, 2023).  

Due to the extremely tight ETS approval deadline, timesheet approvers must coordinate with their employees to ensure timesheets are submitted in enough time for review and approvals. Timesheet approvers who will not be available to review and approve timesheets should communicate with the payroll preparer and alternate approver accordingly.

Late timesheet submissions and approvals will have a critical impact to hourly employees' pay, employees earning overtime, and leave information in time entry for PR14.  Timesheet data for pay period 13 must be approved in order to load into time entry for payroll 14. 

Time entry for PR14 is a ONE DAY time entry and is scheduled to open on Tuesday, December 19, 2023. 

Questions may be directed to Sherrell McNamara, HRIS Manager, mcnamara@umbc.edu.
