Undergraduates

At UMBC, students find many resources to help them achieve their academic goals. The Office of the Registrar supports students’ academic pursuits through advising, registration and a number of other services.

Registration

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. For more information on registration visit Registration page.

It promotes academic success by ensuring student needs are met in regard to learning, personal development, and career aspirations. The purpose of academic advising is to assist students with life/career goal planning, meet diverse individual needs and help students plan major programs in a manner that will ensure timely graduation.
