Beginning April 6, 2022 at Noon, the Housing Interest Application will be made available to current commuters and residents who missed the housing selection application deadline.

Students who complete the Housing Interest Application will be added to the housing wait list. The housing application is the first step for all students interested in living on campus.  The application assists in the assignment, roommate matching, and waitlist/offer process. Before applying:

• Students are encouraged to review our communities and the specialized housing options before submitting the application.
• To access the application, students should log into the housing portal using their myUMBC username and password.

• Students on the waitlist will receive a housing offer via their UMBC email, as space permits.
• Students who submit their application early are likely to get a housing offer. Offers will be made as early as May.
• Students will remain on the waitlist until they are issued an offer.
• If issued a housing offer and a student wishes to decline it or misses the offer deadline, they are welcome to submit an RT Ticket to be added back to the waitlist. Otherwise, they will be removed from the waitlist.
• Students who receive and accept an offer and would like to request a roommate, need to contact the office that issued the offer (Residential Life v. Walker Avenue) in writing. Roommate requests will not be guaranteed, but if a vacancy exists with your requested roommate, the staff will try to honor your request.

Registration has begun for undergraduate students. Initial registration dates will continue through April 22nd.

All students must meet with an advisor in order to obtain registration clearance. Registration clearance is required to register for Fall courses.  

Pre-Majors and all first semester transfer students should schedule an advising appointment with a COEIT advisor here.

All students who have passed their gateway, are not first semester transfer students, and have been updated to the full major will be advised by faculty in the department. More information about advising for students who are full majors can found here.

Information Systems and Business Technology Administration majors (or students intending to change to one of these majors) are advised in the Information Systems Department. Please go here for more information.

If you are changing your major to a major outside the College of Engineering and Information Technology, please contact the respective department of your new major for advising appointment instructions. Please remember to complete a Declaration of Major form for your new major.

About this Event 

Finding a balance between raising and being a human isn't easy. After the last two years, parents feel pulled in more directions than ever; guilty that when they spend time on one thing, they're neglecting another. Our guest, Julie Morgenstern, author of Time to Parent, will share a unique framework for managing the conflicting priorities of the parenting years. Parents with kids at every age and stage in their lives will get practical tips and liberating insights, including how much time and attention kids need, clever ways to keep your marriage and social life alive, streamlining and sharing household logistics, and so much more. You'll learn how to gain more time, lose the guilt, and be more deeply present in all you do.

These Care webinars are free to attend, and a recording will be shared afterwards.

NIH has announced the availability of a new website on Scientific Data Sharing. Whether you are involved in an NIH-funded project and want to understand which sharing policies apply to your research and how to comply, or you are a researcher looking to access scientific data from NIH-affiliated repositories, this site is for you.

NIH has a long-standing commitment to making the research it funds available to the public. This commitment is demonstrated through a variety of sharing policies that function to increase the transparency and availability of scientific data and resources.  NIH policies expect:

• The appropriate sharing of scientific data to be maximized
• Data from large scale genomic studies to be broadly and responsibly shared
• Research tools developed with NIH funding to be made accessible to other researchers
• Unique model organisms to be made available to the scientific community
• Clinical trials to be registered and summary results reported in ClinicalTrials.gov
• Peer reviewed manuscripts to be publicly available on PubMed Central

The new website will help you navigate these policies, providing you with step-by-step guides, infographics, tools and resources to help you on your way. In the case of clinical trials and public access policies, the site provides a central access point and visibility to these policies, and links out to existing NIH sites for more information.

A key goal of the site is to serve as a central portal, providing information on both NIH-wide and NIH Institute and Center-specific sharing policies and data repositories in a way that is easily sortable and searchable.

Over the next few months, in preparation for the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy that goes into effect for applications due on or after January 25, 2023, we will be adding a number of resources to the site including: sample sharing plans, tips for taking data sharing into consideration when developing your budget, additional FAQs, and more. We'll be sure to let you know when these new resources are released through the Nexus and other channels. We are also planning on a two-part webinar series on the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy to be held this summer to walk the community through the details of the new policy and answer questions, the recording of which will also be available on the website. 

The site will regularly feature new and existing resources, events, and tools from across NIH, so check back regularly to see what's new on the Resources section of the home page and the News and Events page! Have questions about sharing and accessing data? The Contacts and Help page on the new site will help you identify who you might reach out to when in need of assistance.
