Cancellation of Summer and Fall 2021 Study Abroad Programs
UMBC and the Center for Global Engagement continue to actively monitor the outbreak of COVID-19. As you may know, UMBC has suspended all university-related domestic and international travel. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the State Department have lifted the global travel advisories at this time, given the current situation and out of an abundance of caution, we have made the difficult decision to cancel education abroad programs for Summer 2021 and Fall 2021.
Until these restrictions have been lifted, applications for education abroad programs will not be processed. The Education Abroad Office has closed the application portal and it will reopen to accept new applications once travel can resume safely. Applications that are requested through our affiliated partners will also not be approved. The team remains ready to provide support and advising for future terms and are hopeful that the global crisis will improve and education abroad will be possible soon. We are optimistic about spring 2022 and continue to work on the programs that we have planned for that term. Students graduating in spring 2022 who are interested in studying abroad should reach out to our office about possible options.
This is extremely challenging for all of us. However, this decision is based on the latest guidance available to us and is being made with the health and safety of our community as our highest priority.
While education abroad is suspended for the rest of this calendar year, it is the perfect time to complete the first step in the education abroad process:
Study Abroad 101! This half-hour session explains how you can fit education abroad into your academic plan at UMBC and only has to be attended once. Get started today to ensure you can study abroad during your undergraduate degree. Meeting details are listed in our events!
There is a bedroom available now for winter break or spring semester student
price ： $410 /month about（depend on room） + utilities (average $50/month/per month)+ wifi $10/per month
Location: Walking distance to UMBC about 5 minutes.
your roommats are male student. They are very nice.
If interesting, please contact me with your name and your umbc email address；
my e-mail is ； lidimin@gmail.com (please write "Re room")

We are delighted to announce that the Office of International Education Services (IES) has been renamed as the Center for Global Engagement (CGE) effective January 1, 2021. The name change reflects feedback received from the campus community and more closely aligns with the names of comparable units at peer institutions.
IES has served our campus community for more than three decades. Its original mission was to provide immigration services to international students. As campus needs evolved, the unit’s scope expanded to include services for international employees, coordination of study abroad programs, and support for international partnerships.
The new Center will continue to provide all services currently offered by IES. It will also serve as a central resource for students, faculty, and staff engaged in international activities and a coordinating hub for various initiatives that support UMBC’s standing as a globally engaged public research university. It is envisioned that CGE will not only ensure the application of best practices for supporting global engagement, but it will also serve as a pre-eminent model of comprehensive internationalization within the University System of Maryland and among public research universities in the United States.
The Education Abroad Office is excited to be a part of the Center for Global Engagement and to continue to support our campus and global community!

International Student Regulatory Guidance for Spring 2021
Update on guidance for international students next semester
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Homeland Security just
confirmed there is no new regulatory guidance forthcoming that will impact international student registration requirements for next semester. The
guidance issued in March will remain in effect. This means:
- Only new international students must enroll in one hybrid or face-to-face requirement.
- Continuing international students are free to enroll in a completely online schedule.
- Any course that is officially listed with a hybrid or face-to-face modality in the schedule of classes will satisfy immigration requirements.
- Any independent study courses that include any hybrid or face-to-face elements will satisfy immigration requirements.
If you have questions about the hybrid and face-to-face courses available in your graduate program, please contact K. Jill Barr, the Associate Vice Provost and Senior Assistant Dean in the Graduate School. If your program is supported by the Division of Professional Studies, please contact Sonya Crosby, the Assistant Vice Provost in the Division of Professional Studies. If you are seeking to identify undergraduate courses, please contact Dr. Ken Baron, Assistant Vice Provost for Academic Advising and Student Success.
If there are other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me (Adam Julian) or any other members of the International Student and Scholar Services team.
Thank you for your continued support of international students and scholars.
Best,
Adam
