Dear Members of the Campus Community,
During the Spring 2020 semester, we provided several grading and enrollment policy options to offer students maximum support and flexibility as we transitioned to a remote learning environment. As the end of the Spring 2020 semester nears and planning and preparation gets underway for the upcoming academic terms, we want to remind the community that, effective Summer 2020 session, all grading and enrollment policies will revert to the standard policies as published in the Undergraduate Catalog, Graduate Catalog, and the Academic Calendar. Faculty, staff, and students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the standard published policies, including enrollment dates and deadlines.
As we continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19, we will regularly evaluate our policies and practices and adjust, as needed, to offer students maximum support and to ensure students are able to progress to degree completion in a timely manner.
Let me take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the entire campus community for the tremendous support, patience, and understanding during this period.
For questions about undergraduate academic policy, contact academicsuccess@umbc.edu. For questions about graduate academic policy, contact gradprogressions@umbc.edu.
