Tuition Remission and Fees Charged to Employees Effective Fall 2020 Semester
In response to a USM request resulting from an audit finding at another institution, UMBC evaluated fees charged/waived to UMBC employees who are taking courses at UMBC utilizing the tuition remission benefit.  As a result of this review, and in order to be in compliance with the University System of Maryland (USM) Tuition Remission policy (VII-4.10), UMBC, like other USM campuses, must begin to pass along certain fees to its employees.

Tuition Remission and Fee Update:

The USM Tuition Remission Policy for employees (VII-4.10) and the USM Tuition Remission Policy for Spouse & Dependents (VII-4.20) permits remission of tuition only.  Therefore, courses taken at all USM schools are subject any mandatory fees charged by the attending University System of Maryland and/or reciprocal institution.

Effective Fall 2020, UMBC employees attending courses at UMBC, and receiving tuition remission, will be charged the technology fee and any specific course-related fees (for example: lab fees, registration fees, admissions fees, music fees, electronic material fees, etc.).  It was determined that all remaining mandatory fees don't apply, because they are for services or activities that employees either pay for in the course of their employment, or enjoy the benefits already as employees.

All fees will continue to be charged for dependents utilizing Tuition Remission.

The current technology fees are $17 per credit for undergraduate courses and $16 per credit for graduate courses.  These amounts may increase slightly in the new fiscal year, beginning in July 2020.

For information on mandatory fees at UMBC, please the Student Business Services website.  Employees who wish to check eligibility and apply for tuition remission may visit the UMBC Tuition Remission Website.

**Meet Brian and Larry. They have decided to apply for a URA Award.

"There are three different awards this year," noted Brian, who was interviewed while blow drying his luxurious hair. "You've got the usual award, open to all majors and worth up to $1,500 and then you've got the Social Science award and the entrepreneurship award. Pretty amazing opportunity. And the deadline isn't until May 15th, so we've got plenty of time!"

"Really does help us with our research," added Larry, who was interviewed while combing his mustache. "And you can even apply as a group!"

URA’s provide up to $1,500 to undergraduate students to support their research or creative work with a UMBC faculty mentor on an original project. UMBC students of all years and disciplines are invited to apply, as long as they will remain enrolled at UMBC long enough to complete the proposed work.**

Congratulations to URCAD presenter Annie Schuster and her "lab" assistants, winners of the URCAD Selfie Contest in the category: Best Selfie- Making of a VoiceThread Presentation! 

Annie will receive a $50 gift card to the UMBC Bookstore!

I had to convert my poster to a digital format for URCAD Online, so I posed with the "real thing." I joked to my friends that I couldn't have done it without the support of my furry friends! The awesome dog on the left is my dog, Stella. She's also the winner of the UMBC 2019 Puppy Parade where she won for her "Lab" Assistant science costume. Also pictured, her best friend Chip, the UMBC police dog.

Topside Granola

Dry Ingredients:
9 cups old fashioned
oats
1 cup shredded
coconut
1 cup sunflower kernels
3 cup chopped nuts
(pecans, almonds, &
walnuts)

Wet Ingredients:
1½ cups canola oil
(or ½ cup applesauce
and ¾ cup canola oil to
reduce fat)
1½ cups honey
½ cup molasses
2 Tbsp. vanilla extract

Toppings: 
1 cup dried
cranberries
1 cup raisins
½ cup dried cherries

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a microwavable container mix wet ingredients. Cook in
microwave on high until hot but not boiling (5-7 minutes), and
stir. Pour over dry mixture and stir well, coating all of the dry with
wet ingredients. Pour mix into 2 large sheet pans (sprayed lightly
with oil) and spread evenly. Place pans into preheated oven for
15 min. Remove pans from oven and stir well. Repeat 3 more
times for a total of 4 baking sessions. The last two sessions may
need to be shorter to avoid burning. It should be dark & golden
brown. Cool on the pan, stirring periodically to avoid big lumps.
Stir in toppings. Can be stored in airtight container in the
refrigerator or frozen.
