The Early Registration period is fast approaching!
Below are a few tips from the BSOS Feller Center Advising Office to keep in mind while registering for the Fall 2022 term.
|
|
Completion of 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. Students must providing supporting documentation for this special request.
|
|
Duplicate Credit
|
This indicates that two courses
have 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 view duplicate
courses.
|
|
Time Conflict
|
Students in a major can
obtain permission to take courses that have a time conflict by obtaining
written permission from both UMD instructors to a BSOS advisor during an
appointment.
