Registration Resources

After the Schedule Adjustment Period (January 7-18)

Once the Schedule Adjustment Period ends, you can no longer use myUMBC to make schedule adjustments, except to drop a course (a grade of “W” will appear on your transcript.)

Between January 7-18 the grade method for a course can be changed from “regular” to “pass/fail” by submitting a Request Tracking (RT) ticket to the Registrar’s Office. 

Withdrawing from Winter Session 2012

After January 18, the only way to drop a course is to withdraw from the session. Submit a Request Tracking (RT) ticket to the Registrar’s Office requesting a “semester withdraw.” A notation of “Session Withdrawal” will appear on your transcript.

Request Tracker (RT) Ticket

Request Tracker (RT) is a web-based feature that allows students to request help through myUMBC. Submit an RT ticket for billing issues, computing/technology support, questions about your class schedule, grades, etc.  Access the UMBC's RT site and login with your myUMBC user name and password

Winter Session Course Load

During winter session, you can register for up to 4.5 credits.  Approval is needed to enroll in more than 4.5 credits.

Repeat Courses

Students may not register for a course more than two times. Students may petition the Office of Undergraduate Education (OUE) for a third and final attempt of a course taken at UMBC or another institution. All required documents must be submitted to OUE no later than December 20.

Independent Study Courses

Academic departments schedule independent study winter courses on an “as needed” basis. To request the course be added to the winter schedule, contact the appropriate academic department before the final day to register (January 6).
