A+B. Intro_SJ.1 - University of Maryland University College

Restrictions
Students may be admitted to only one institution in the
University System of Maryland at any one time. Students may
be admitted as either graduates or undergraduates, but no one
may hold both classifications simultaneously. A student’s most
recent application for admission invalidates any previous admission.
Students may be admitted to only one graduate program at any
time. Application for admission to a second graduate program is
not permitted until notification of resignation has been presented
to the first program. Students admitted to any other graduate
program in the University System of Maryland must notify
UMUC. Students retain active status for one year (three consecutive
semesters) even without being registered in the program.
However, after one year without a completed graduate course,
students must submit a new application along with another
application fee.
Note: Graduate students may take both graduate and undergraduate
courses concurrently.
Registration
Ways to Register
Registration begins each semester as soon as the course schedule
becomes available on the Web and continues until classes begin.
A late fee is charged for registering after the regular registration
period. Students should check the current Graduate Schedule of
Classes for the deadlines for regular and late registration.
UMUC offers five ways to register for most courses: by phone
via the Interactive Registration and Information System (IRIS),
by mail, by fax, online, and on-site.
By Telephone via IRIS
Students are eligible to register by phone via the Interactive
Registration and Information System (IRIS) if they have already
been admitted to UMUC as a graduate student and have
received a personal identification number (PIN). (Note: Former
students who have not registered for courses within the last year
must first be readmitted.) Through IRIS, students may register
by entering all pertinent information via their touch-tone telephone.
IRIS provides immediate feedback on course availability
and the student’s registration, student account, and financial aid
status.
Students may call IRIS at 800-584-9413 or 301-985-7499 daily
from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. eastern time. Detailed instructions on
IRIS registration are available each semester in the Graduate
Schedule of Classes and online at www.umuc.edu/iris.
By Mail
Students may mail their registration to Registrar’s Office,
University of Maryland University College, 3501 University
Boulevard East, Adelphi, MD 20783. Forms are available online
at www.umuc.edu/register and in the Graduate Schedule of Classes.
By Fax
Students may fax their registration to 301-985-7175. Forms
are available in the Graduate Schedule of Classes and online at
www.umuc.edu/register.
Students who have an employer contract must be sure to fax
their registration and employer contract at the same time. Any
fees not covered by the contract must be charged to VISA or
MasterCard.
Online
Students may register online at www.umuc.edu/register. Note: The
process is not yet fully automated and requires manual processing
by UMUC to complete. Therefore, there may be a delay of
one or more days before processing.
On Site
Walk-in admission and registration is held in the Student and
Faculty Services Center in Adelphi, Maryland, and at a number
of other locations in the Baltimore/Washington metropolitan
area. Students may register for any course offered (regardless of
location or format) at any walk-in registration. Locations, dates,
and times are listed each semester in the Graduate Schedule of
Classes.
The Waiting List
If a class is already full at the time of registration, the student
has the option of placing his or her name on a waiting list for
that class. Students who register by mail, fax, or online (and list
no alternate classes) are added to the waiting list automatically.
Students who register by phone are prompted by IRIS to choose
that option.
