As updates become available, we will send an email to your UMBC account,
so please check this daily.
STEP 1 : Attend New Student Day (optional)
CSI students are encouraged to attend New Student Day on Saturday, April 10th. This event, welcoming new students, is sponsored by the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation. Please visit their website for more details, as they become available.
STEP 2: Placement Tests (required)
Once you are admitted to the University, you will receive instructions on how to register for math, reading and writing online placement tests. Please remember to prepare and take these tests seriously as the results are used to place you in the appropriate English composition and math courses. It is imperative that you complete these tests as soon as possible. In order for us to receive your scores prior to the start of Summer Bridge, the last testing week available to you is the week between Tuesday, May 11th – Tuesday, May 18th. Please plan and register accordingly.
The placement tests will help you make the best choices in planning your schedule for CSI and beyond. Full details on each placement test, as well as sample tests are provided in the Placement Testing Brochure. If you need special testing accommodations because of a learning or physical disability, please call Student Support Services at 410-455-3250.
