Ensure Timely Graduation
You are so close to earning your UMBC degree! Keep up the momentum!
Once you’ve earned 90 academic credits, you will have access to a Graduation Card on your myUMBC Profile page, which you will use to apply for graduation. The Graduation Card is a personalized, step-by-step guide that will ensure a smooth process until you finish your UMBC degree. However, eligibility isonly the start of the graduation application process.
How to Apply for Graduation
-
You should check your Graduation Card periodically to ensure that you are staying on track with all degree requirements, as this will be the only way to access the application for graduation when the time comes. Students may only participate in graduation/a commencement ceremony based on the semester in which all degree requirements are be completed (see the Undergraduate Baccalaureate Degree Completion Policy for more information).
-
If you intend to complete all degree requirements by the end of the Spring 2023 semester, please note that Wednesday, February 15ththe last day undergraduates can apply for June graduation by logging into the Graduation Card on the myUMBC profile page.
-
As you finalize your graduation plan, below are some steps you can take to ensure that you’ll soon be celebrating the completion of your UMBC degree!
Review your Degree Requirements in your myUMBC Profile
- Make sure all your degree information is up-to-date and that you are aware of all remaining graduation requirements
-
Submit a declaration of major form to update your major, minor, or any other programs
- Make sure that you have a plan to finish not only all 120 credits but also that your degree includes all 45 upper-level credits
- Check to see that you have finished all General Education Program (GEP) requirements or make sure your remaining semesters include plans to finish these requirements. If you still have a language 201 class, science with lab or last culture class, or any missing upper-level credits, now is the time to plan to get them done!
-
Use UMBC’s Summer Session to get GEP course or major elective done – the summer schedule is available to view now!
Review your test and transfer credit
-
Re-check any transferred courses or AP/CLEP test credit, especially if you use them to fulfill GEP or major electives. You can view your Transfer Credit Report in your myUMBC profile.
-
Submit a Course Review Form if you need to get any courses re-evaluated – to do this, be prepared to submit a syllabus of the transferred class.
-
Submit any updated transcripts to the registrar’s office.
-
Talk your courses over with your academic advisor If you have any questions about your transfer credit and how it can be used to fulfill degree requirements.
Go over your graduation plan with your academic advisor
- Get additional insights from your academic advisor about how to plan out your remaining requirements and brainstorm your post-graduation plans
-
Revisit advising notes in your myUMBC profile for summaries of previous advising sessions to ensure you keep all advising recommendations in mind as you finish your degree.
Once you apply for graduation, participating in the commencement ceremony and other celebratory activities on campus is the culmination of all your hard work.
If you have any questions about the graduation application or review process, please do not hesitate to contact the graduation team.
We look forward to seeing you cross that finish line!

iHARP All Hands Meeting Huge Success
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend!
iHARP All Hands Event a Success
article written by Dwayne Butcher
Assistant Director of Marketing, Department of Information Systems

Last week (January 9 & 10, 2023) iHARP, an inaugural NSF HDR Institute, held its first in-person All Hands meeting to discuss current and upcoming projects as well as to network with researchers and scientists who specialize in data or polar sciences.
Taking place in the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building on the UMBC campus, the two-day event kicked off with opening remarks from Dr. Sylvia Spengler of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Karl Steiner, VP of Research and Dr. Keith Bowman, Dean of the College of Engineering and Information Technology both of UMBC.
Dr. Vandana Janeja, Director of iHARP, provided an overview of the research center to the 80+ attendees. There were 11 project presentations ranging from “Mapping the Subglacial Bed Topography from Surface Observation using Machine Learning” presented by Dr. Jianwu Wang and graduate assistant, Homayra Alam of UMBC and Dr. Mathieu Morlighem of Dartmouth College to “Bayesian calibration of ice sheet models,” presented by Dr. Andy Aschwanden of the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.
Breakout sessions posed the question of “How can we reduce the
uncertainty in prediction of sea level rise?” After several lively
discussions, ideas that were consistent between the groups were to
address the discrepancy in predictions among different models and to
bring together people with interdisciplinary skills.
Poster presentations included
“Machine Learning Residual Ensemble Technique for Arctic Sea Ice Extent
Forecasting,” by Louis Lapp of the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, “On
the role of aerosol atmospheric rivers (AAR) in snow darkening and ice
melting over the polar region,” by Supid Chakraborty of the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Christopher Shuman, research associate professor
scientist at UMBC GESTAR II, and Atefeh Jebeli, Emam Hussain, Sara
Khanjani, Saydeh Karabatis, and Xingyan Li each students at UMBC.
The event concluded with remarks from UMBC President Dr. Valerie
Sheares Ashby on how wonderful it is to see this amazing work come from
such a diverse group of students, researchers and faculty members and is
proud UMBC has such a center doing this important work.
iHARP Mission:
iHARP conducts data intensive research, education, outreach, and
cyberinfrastructure development that will transform understanding of the
effects of climate change in polar regions. This institute brings
together stakeholders and leading scholars in data science and polar
science to reduce uncertainties in projecting Greenland and Antarctica’s
future mass balance, associated sea-level rise, and impacts on global
communities.

HPEC Fall 2024 Cohort interest deadlines are approaching!
Alumni/Current Students - Fill out our interest form today!
For Medical and Dental School Applicants, the UMBC Health Professions Evaluation Committee's (HPEC) Cohort process - which begins with exercises to help applicants prepare the materials they need to complete their professional school application, and results in a Committee Letter from the HPEC to accompany an applicant's other Letters of Recommendation - is set in motion nearly a year and half before an applicant plans to enter Medical or Dental School.
The next HPEC Cohort, supporting applicants planning to enter Medical or Dental School in Fall 2024, is about to begin!
Information regarding the process of expressing an interest in joining the Health Professions Evaluation Committee (HPEC) Fall 2024 Cohort has been posted to the PreMedical & PreDental Advising Office web site. Follow the link below to view the Minimum Requirements for participation and to access the online forms through which you can express your interest.
The HPEC Cohort process serves current UMBC Undergraduate students, and UMBC Alumni who completed an Undergraduate (Bachelor's) degree at UMBC within the past five (5) years.
The deadlines for expression of interest from First-Time Applicants to Medical or Dental School who wish to join the HPEC Fall 2024 Cohort are:
11:59 pm on February 1, 2023 for ALUMNI (former students who completed their Bachelor's degree at UMBC between May 2018 and December 2022, inclusive)
11:59 pm on February 15, 2023 for UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS (UMBC Undergraduates who plan to complete their Bachelor's degree at UMBC between January 2023 and May 2024, inclusive)
Re-Applicants - meaning, those who participated in a previous HPEC Cohort past the point where an HPEC Committee Letter was submitted to Medical or Dental School on their behalf - have an extended period of time to join the upcoming Cohort. This later deadline is designed to give applicants who are awaiting decisions from the current (2022-2023) application cycle additional time to decide to join the next immediate Cohort once their admission status at all of the schools they have applied to has become clearer. Please remember that you can only receive an HPEC Committee letter on your first and/or second time applying to professional school (maximum of two times), so make sure that you have addressed (and improved) the weaker aspects of your applicant profile before making another attempt. Some re-applicants choose to wait a year (or more) between application cycles. Potential Re-Applicants should see the website linked below for more details.
As in the past, additional action beyond the expression of interest will be required to officially join the Cohort.
A link to information about next steps is included in the Interest Form's submission confirmation screen. This link will also be sent via email to those who have submitted their interest form, distributed in batches approximately once per week through the interest submission deadlines.
