Faculty/Staff

The Office of the Registrar supports UMBC faculty and staff through services provided in the area of advising, records maintenance, scheduling and registration.

Records
The Office of the Registrar maintains transcripts and registration history for all students, former students and graduates of UMBC. In addition, the office maintains transfer credit information and academic progress reports for undergraduate students.

Registration
The Office of the Registrar manages registration processes for regular semesters as well as Summer and Winter sessions in accordance with university policies and procedures.

With the exception of some special populations and programs which may require additional registration support, students register for UMBC courses on-line via the myUMBC web portal. Registration authorizations and course permissions are issued on-line by the appropriate UMBC faculty and staff.

Scheduling
Office of the Registrar coordinates the development of class schedules for the Fall and Spring semesters in consultation with academic departments. Summer and winter session schedules are developed, also in consultation with academic departments, by the Office of Summer and Winter Programs.

Fall and Spring Semester schedules are developed according to guidelines established by the Classroom Committee. These guidelines include standard time blocks into which courses are to be scheduled. More information about these guidelines is available at
