Visiting Students

 

Take advantage of what UMBC has to offer! UMBC is nationally recognized for our leadership, innovative programs and exceptional faculty.

Visiting students are students who wish to enroll at UMBC for only one term, such as summer or winter session. For example, visiting students typically attend another college or university and want to earn specific course credits at UMBC that will transfer back to their home institution (check with your home institution for transferability). 

Visiting students are not required to submit transcripts to UMBC for one term admission, but must be in good standing at their home institution.  

While transcripts are not required for visiting student admission, some instructors may request an unofficial transcript if the course has pre- or co-requisite requirements.

 

Application & Admissions

 

Registration Information

Courses with Prerequisite Requirements

NOTE: The registration system is designed to verify that prerequisites have been met before allowing students to register for certain courses. Since this registration system does not have access to visiting students' transcripts, you may encounter a message saying you do not have the appropriate prerequisites or "consent" to register for a course. If this happens to you, please contact summer@umbc.edu for assistance.

Below are some pro-active steps you can take to expedite the process of registering for class: 

1)  Read the course notes and confirm what prerequisites course work is required. 

2) Be prepared to show proof of required pre-requisite coursework (i.e., an unofficial transcript from your home institution).

Inter-Institutional Enrollment applies to fall and spring semesters only.  Students from other USM schools who wish to enroll in summer or winter sessions must apply to UMBC for admission.
