PIN Numbers

To use myUMBC, you will need a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Your PIN provides access to your personal information records.

The four-digit PIN initially assigned is your birthday month and date (i.e., the PIN for
a July 4 birthday would be 0704). The first time you use myUMBC change your PIN
to another number not easily identified with you. The PIN provides security against
unauthorized access to your records and is considered the same as a signature. Do not
give it to anyone else; you are responsible for all PIN transactions. If it becomes
known to others, change it immediately. If you forget your PIN, contact the Office of
the Registrar.

Schedule Numbers

Each course is identified by a four-digit schedule number in brackets [****] to the left
of the section number. Although it is not required to register, it may be helpful to complete registration. See the Schedule of Classes for schedule numbers.

Dropping Courses

To replace one course with another course, use myUMBC to add the new course first
before attempting to drop your current course.

Courses can be dropped without financial penalty during the open registration period and
before the first day of the semester. After the first day of the session, you are required to
pay a percentage of the tuition for any course you drop (fees are non-refundable). See the
Fall 2008 Tuition Refund Policy and Refund Schedule for details.

Dropping all classes

If you are enrolled in only one course and wish to drop that course without registering in
a substitute course, myUMBC will prompt you to contact the Office of the Registrar for
assistance. To drop all classes without enrolling in a substitute summer course, you must
email the Office of the Registrar at records@umbc.edu from your UMBC email account.
Your email must be received before or on the first day of the session to avoid charges.
See the Tuition Refund Policy and Refund Schedule for details.
