What does being on Academic Probation mean?
You have achieved less than a 2.0 cumulative University of Maryland
GPA and you must complete CARE, which includes at least one meeting
with your departmental academic advisor and one meeting with UA&AS
What do I do if I am on academic Probation?
- Complete the CARE Program in its entirety
- Meet with my academic advisor(s)
- Adjust your registration
What is the CARE Program?
CARE is a module based system which:
- Allows you to review University & Engineering policies
- Helps clarify the meaning of being on academic probation
- Provides tools for understanding the benefits of repeating courses
- Points you in the direction of becoming academically successful
What Must I Do To Complete this Program?
- Complete the quizzes after each module
- Complete and print the Self-Assessment at the end of CARE
- If you haven’t already, adjust your Four Year Plan
- Meet with your departmental academic advisor
- Meet with an UA&AS advisor (ECE students do not need to schedule this meeting)
- Finalize your Academic Plan with your advisors
What do I need to do in order to have the Administrative Hold removed?
You must complete the following steps:
1. Access the CARE program in the "My Organizations" section of ELMS
2. Review all modules and complete all of the quizzes
3. Complete & print the self-assessment found at the end of the program
4. Schedule an appointment and meet with your departmental advisor* to
update your Four Year Plan (if you are Undecided within engineering,
you can skip this step and update your Four Year Plan in step 5)
5. Schedule an appointment and meet with an advisor from Undergraduate Advising and Academic Support (bring your updated Four Year Plan andyour printed self-assessment)**
*Undecided Engineering Students only need to meet with UA&AS.
**Electrical and Computer Engineering Students only need to meet with their Departmental Advisor (and not UA&AS).
All steps must be completed in order for the hold to be removed from your account.
How does Academic Probation affect me?
You are not able to change your schedule in any way until you have received permission from an advisor in UA&AS.
- This includes registering for and/or dropping any course(s).
- This registration block will stay on your account until you have achieved a 2.0 or better cumulative UM GPA (good academic standing) and have been removed from academic probation.
Note: Students may only be removed from probation at the conclusion of Fall or Spring semesters.

Current UM students seeking admission into the A. James Clark School of Engineering will need to submit an online application, but before submitting the application, please take a few minutes to review the LEP Application Instruction. These instructions will give students a better understanting of what the Admission Office will be looking for when reviewing applications. Once the LEP Application-ENGR is submitted, the Undergraduate Admission Office will review your credentials which will undergo a one-time review of the admission criteria.
The Office of Undergraduate Admissions will send you a confirmation notice indicating that they have received your application. A decision will be sent to your email account about two weeks after the application due date (5th business day of January and June) with instructions of your next step.
Engineering students are encouraged to select their major or engineering specialization as soon as possible but must choose no later than the end of their third semester.
Engineering students can change major within the School of Engineering by simply submitting an Internal Major Change form.
Students asked to "Change Out" due to no academic progress will need to declare another major as soon as possible. If assistance is needed students should come in to speak with an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising and Academic Support Office, 1131S GLMH.

All undergraduate students in Engineering will have a mandatory advising
block placed on their registration every fall and spring. This is done
to ensure that engineering students are making satisfactory progress towards
their degree.
First, are you in a declared major? If so, then contact the department's
main faculty advisor for advising. If you are undecided, see an advisor
from the Undergraduate Advising and Academic Support office, 1131S GLMH.
If you are on academic probation due to poor
academic performance and have a block a student must visit
her/his departmental advisor to discuss courses for the
upcoming semester and then visit the Undergraduate Advising
and Academic Support office, 1131S GLMH to make sure that all necessary
stamps are given.
Students in their freshman year, specifically undecided students, may come
in to meet with an advisor in the Undergraduate Advising and Academic
Support office however, students are encouraged to meet with their departmental
advisor as soon as they have declared their major. Transfer students
should be seeking the expertise from their department.
