- Advising is mandatory for all Engineering students each semester. If you are not sure whom to see for advising please see our FAQs.
- Students are notified about registration appointments by email. Students can also check on www.my.umd.edu or TESTUDO
- Registration appointments are based on total applicable credit limit. Students with the most credits register first.
Registration Process: Currently enrolled students are invited to early registration by appointment. Registration appointments for the fall semester begin in April, and appointments for the spring semester begin in late October. Registration can be processed on the MyUM website www.my.umd.edu , TESTUDO or in person.
Schedule Adjustment: The schedule adjustment period is the first 10 days of classes for the fall and spring semesters, the first 5 days of classes for Summer Sessions I and II, and the first 3 days of classes for Winter Term and 3-week accelerated summer courses. Courses may be added, when space is available, during the schedule adjustment period, and will appear on the student’s permanent record along with other courses previously listed. Courses dropped during this period will not appear on the student's permanent record.
The drop period will begin at the close of the schedule adjustment period and terminate at the end of the tenth week of classes for the fall and spring semesters, and at a comparable time for summer sessions and Winter Term. Consult the Registration Guide or Summer Schedule of Classes for dates.
During this period a student may drop a maximum of four credits. Drops during this period will be on the student's permanent record with a ‘W’ and will count as an attempt in the course. W’s do not count in the computation of a student's cumulative grade point average.
- Any course may be attempted twice.
- Students may repeat up to 18 credit hours.
- A “W” counts as an attempt.
- Both attempts and grades earned will appear on transcript.
- Both attempts are calculated into the cumulative GPA…
o …except for courses originally taken during the first 24 credits (or for transfer students, courses taken during the first semester as a UM student), in which case there is a grace period. If the course is repeated, only the higher grade will count in the UM GPA.

- Full time students are expected to complete the Undergraduate programs at the University of Maryland in four years. In order to graduate in four years, students must plan carefully in consultation with an academic advisor, declare a major early, and complete 30 credits each year, which is usually accomplished by completing a normal course load of 14-16 credits each semester and by completing general education and major requirements in a timely manner.
- Students who change majors, who declare a major late in the sophomore year, who enroll in a limited number of select programs, or who take advantage of certain special opportunities that enrich the undergraduate experience may require up to five years to complete a degree. All students should develop and regularly review a multi-year course plan to complete their intended programs. If a student has special circumstances that make it impossible to complete a normal course load, the student would meet with an advisor to discuss the circumstances, the student's plans for continued progress towards a degree, and the implications for full-time enrollment.

- Students must achieve a grade of 2.0 or better in all technical courses (non-CORE).
- Students must achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to graduate and completion of all degree requirements.
- Students must complete a minimum of 120 credits minimum (124 credits minimum for Aerospace).
- No more than ½ of UM degree credits can be from a community college.
- · All degree applicable courses must be regular grading method (A, B, C….).
- Graduation will be denied if any Incompletes (I) or No Grades (NG) have not been resolved.

- Directly admitted freshmen will be subject to an academic review at the end of the semester in which they attain 45 University of Maryland credits. In order to successfully complete the review, students must have an overall GPA of 2.0 and have completed the gateway requirements: ENES 100, MATH 141, PHYS 161, and CHEM 113 or CHEM 135 all with a grade of 2.0 or better.
- Only one single repeat of any one of the courses listed above is allowed. A course in which a grade of "W" is earned is counted as an attempt.
Courses taken at another institution may not be credited toward a degree program without prior approval of the college from which the student expects to earn a degree.
In order for Clark School Students to enroll in a course at another institution, the following must occur:
- be in good academic standing (i.e. cumulative GPA of 2.0).
- meet all prerequisites for the requested course(s).
- must fill out a Permission To Enroll In Another Institution Form and receive permission from the Undergraduate Advising & Academic Support Office (1131 Glenn Martin Hall) before enrolling in the course.
