Fall 2025 Registration - Advising Appointment Information for Current Students:

Recently, all current UMBC students received notification of an "Advising Hold" on their UMBC account. Students must meet with an advisor to have the hold lifted in order to register for Fall courses.

Fall Registration for undergraduate students will run April 1-18. Your specific date will be based on the number of credits you have earned. Students should plan to meet with an advisor a few weeks before their earliest registration time.

You can consult the Registration Appointment Calendar here for your date and time.

Your exact Registration appointment time can be found in the Registration Guide. 

Pre-Majors and all first semester transfer students should schedule an advising appointment with a COEIT advisor. New appointments times will be added on a regular basis.

COEIT pre-majors who started UMBC as freshmen should schedule an appointment here.

First semester transfer students at or any transfer students who have not yet passed their gateway and are attending the Catonsville campus should schedule an appointment here.

First semester students attending the Shady Grove campus should schedule an appointment here.

All Computer Science, Computer Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering students who passed their gateway in the Fall have been assigned a staff advisor and should receive an email from their advisor shortly with details about how to sign up for a group advising appointment.

All post-gateway Chemical Engineering students and anyone who was assigned a faculty advisor in the past should receive advising from the faculty advisor listed in their myUMBC Profile.

More information about advising for students who are full majors can found here.

Faculty advisors may wait until the schedule of classes is posted on March 24th to meet with students.

Information Systems and Business Technology Administration majors (or students intending to change to one of these majors) are advised in the Information Systems Department. Please go here for more information.

If you are changing your major to a major outside the College of Engineering and Information Technology, please contact the respective department of your new major for advising appointment instructions. Please remember to complete a Declaration of Major form for your new major.
