The Early Registration period is quickly approaching
- here are a few tips from the BSOS Advising Center to keep in mind while you
register for the Spring 2021 semester! |
|
|
Have you Completed your Major Benchmarks or LEP
Gateways? |
When planning your schedule, check your student
record to make sure you are registering for your benchmark or gateway courses
that you have not yet completed. If you have questions about completing these
requirements on time, please make an appointment with your Major
advisor. |
|
Registration Blocks |
A block is a hold placed on student records to prevent registration.
Registration blocks may be frustrating for students who need to register for
classes. Therefore, each semester, students are expected to log on to Testudo and check their
registration time and blocks. It is the student’s responsibility to take
appropriate actions to remove blocks in order to register on time. Please
visit the Registration
Restrictions and Blocks webpage for explanations of different
registration blocks. |
|
Credit Overload |
Prior to the First Day of Classes and Schedule
Adjustment Period, students are limited to registering for no more than 17
credits. On the First Day of Classes this limit is raised to 20 credits.
Students who wish to exceed these limits must meet with a BSOS college
advisor to discuss a possible exception to university policy. |
|
Duplicate Credit |
This is used to indicate two courses with the same course content.
Note: students cannot receive duplicate credit. Be mindful of credit you have
received through AP/IB or through transfer from another institution. Also,
you can view the Schedule of Classes where courses are
marked: "Credit only granted for", to see duplicate courses. |
|
Time Conflict |
Major Students can obtain permission to take courses
that have a time conflict by forwarding written permission from both UMD
instructors to the BSOS advisor during an appointment. |
