Pay it with food!

Parking Services is conducting our annual Fall Food for Fines campaign. The program

provides the opportunity to help students, staff and faculty who are experiencing food

insecurity. The program runs until Friday, November 21.

 

How does it work? If you currently have an outstanding citation for this semester ($50

or less), you can donate 5 non-perishable or 5 toiletry items to Parking Services

(located at 900 Walker Avenue), and we will reduce one citation to a warning (citation

cost removed). All items collected are donated to Retriever Essentials, UMBC's campus

food bank.

 

Visit parking.umbc.edu for the top requested items. We cannot accept expired items,

toilet paper, paper towels and opened items. This offer does not apply to previously paid

citations. We are open from 8AM to 4PM, Monday through Friday, closed for lunch from 12:30PM to 1:30PM.

 

Every donation makes a difference. Help a fellow student while helping with your bank

account. It's a win-win situation.

 

Questions? Let us know and thank you!

Hi everyone!

Without warning, the end of the week is fast approaching, and so is our weekly cleanup!
As per usual, tomorrow we'll be meeting at Commons by the Dunkin at 2:45, then walking to the cleanup site together at 3PM!
We'll be heading to the ITE conservation area, picking up trash for an hour, then weigh it and let the weekend take us away.
Tomorrow's set to be pretty chilly again, so please don't forget a jacket and long pants, and also be advised that the ITE conservation area is in the woods and fairly steep. Sneakers or other shoes with traction are a must!
As always, the map location will be posted in our GroupMe, and we hope to see you there!

Stay warm til then!

SET. REGISTER FOR SPRING 2026! ALL Students Eligible To Register TOMORROW - Are You Ready?

ATTENTION ALL RETRIEVERS!! 


Spring 2026 Advanced Registration is in full swing and ALL returning UMBC students will be eligible to register by the end of the day tomorrow -- 11/14! 


At UMBC, registration eligibility is determined by your number of earned credits and a comprehensive chart for all registration dates/times can be found here. **You can also verify your specific date/time for registration via your myUMBC account. **


As a reminder, however, advising clearance is mandatory every semester before you can register so if you haven't reached out to your advisor yet – what are you waiting for?!? Keep in mind that advising is by appointment only and availability can be limited during this time of the semester. Check your myUMBC email (sent on or around October 2nd) for your advisor assignment and further instructions. Advisor assignments can also be found via the CNMS Advising website here (by major) and via your myUMBC Profile. Newly or recently declared life science majors who do not have a listed advisor assignment should contact CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for support. 


** PLEASE NOTE: You will want to seek advising clearance as soon as possible and regardless of any other holds you may have on your account (financial, housing, ECR Training, health, etc.). Delaying your advising appointment may mean that your assigned advisor no longer has as much availability for clearance/support once the dedicated advising season has come to an end. **


Throughout the week, CNMS Advising is also holding walk-in registration/schedule building support in The Learning Collaboratory (UC 115) during Study Hall hours today 11/13 from 1PM-4PM and tomorrow 11/14 from 10AM-4PM. Peer advisors will be available to help you organize and build your schedule for next semester. In particular, they can assist with navigating Schedule Builder and utilizing the Class Search functionality. Please note that this support does NOT include academic advising, course suggestions, and/or advising clearance. Only your assigned advisor can provide that.  


As we head into this final week of Advanced Registration, make sure that you are READY to register by gaining advising clearance, SET your alarm for your earliest registration date/time, and REGISTER ASAP!

Since 1940, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has been a relentless force for change and fighting for those affected by diabetes through research, advocacy, education, and community. This American Diabetes Month, we reflect on the journey that has transformed lives and continues to inspire progress.

A Legacy of Breakthroughs and Compassion

The Good Fight: It All Matters

Eighty-five years later, the ADA remains at the forefront of the fight to end diabetes. From improving access to care and advocating for equitable treatment, to funding cutting-edge research and building supportive communities—the mission endures.

This American Diabetes Month, we celebrate the courage, resilience, and unity of everyone impacted by diabetes—those who live with it, those who support loved ones, and the healthcare heroes who dedicate their lives to care and research.

Supporting Our Community During Diabetes Awareness Month

For UMBC students and employees who are managing diabetes, whether newly diagnosed or navigating ongoing treatment, please know that Student Disability Services (SDS) is here to support you. Diabetes has a broad global impact and meets the definition of a disability. At times, concerns about managing its flares—especially for individuals with Type 1 diabetes—arise, so we encourage students and staff to seek on-campus resources such as:

If your health needs are affecting your academics or work, we encourage you to register with Student Disability Services (SDS) to explore available accommodations and support options. We're committed to ensuring you have access, understanding, and the resources you need to thrive. 

Get involved and make a difference!

Expanding Awareness Beyond Diabetes

While we honor American Diabetes Month, November also highlights many important causes that intersect with accessibility, inclusion, and health. As we enter a month known for travel, shared meals, and family gatherings, let's make our celebrations more inclusive and disability-friendly with thoughtful approaches to dining and travel.

Inclusive Celebrations and Accessible Cooking

People with disabilities also host fabulous meals and lead the way in accessible cooking:
