2026 AP Scores will start being released by College Board this week – the week of July 6th. Even if you have already requested for your scores to be sent to UMBC, it still may take up to a few weeks for those scores to be received, processed, and evaluated. For additional information on how to transfer coursework and AP scores, you can view this helpful guide – including UMBC’s College Board Code. 

Until the course equivalency is fully listed in your course history you will not be able to use it as a prerequisite to make schedule changes on your own. You can check to see if the course has been fully evaluated by going to myUMBC>>Profile>>Grades>>Course History.

While advisors may be able to make updates to our FALL 2026 course suggestions based on your incoming AP information,  it is the student's responsibility to make schedule adjustments and to reach out to campus representatives if they have questions or concerns. We strongly encourage students to remain vigilant with their incoming AP scores and to make adjustments to their upcoming schedule ASAP. To do so, you can follow the steps outlined below:

• First, you should consult our AP Transfer Policies to verify whether or not you will be receiving credit for your pending scores.

• Next, you can reach out to CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu if you have any questions or concerns about how your scores may affect your STEM course suggestions for the fall (i.e. MATH/BIOL/CHEM/PHYS courses, etc.). Questions regarding any other APs should be directed to the departments that oversee that major. A complete list of advising contacts across all departments on campus can be found HERE. 

• Finally, you will need to use the Schedule Planner or Course Search to put together a new schedule. A helpful video guide for how to ADD/DROP/SWAP classes can be found HERE.  If there are major scheduling concerns or difficulties, you can reach out to CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu for a follow-up advising appointment. 

**IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are attempting to adjust your schedule prior to when your AP credits have been fully articulated, you will need to reach out to the respective department (i.e. BIOL, CMSC, ENGL, PSYC, etc.) or professor on record for override permission. To do this, you will need to have already selected your preferred section number of the course you are attempting to register for. All communication must come from your UMBC email account and will need to include your full name, Campus ID (AB0000), specific section information (i.e. LEC/DIS/SEM/LAB), and a screenshot of the related AP score. 

Please make sure to confirm that your scores were officially sent and received by UMBC prior to the start of the Fall semester. Overrides will not be given for Spring courses.

If you have any questions please email CNMSAdvising@umbc.edu.
