UMBC’s Last day to Add or Drop a Course for Spring 2019 is Friday, February 8, 2019. Scholars are eligible to make changes to their semester enrollment until this date; however, please be advised you must successfully complete a minimum of 12 credits (6 credits- transfers) in order to meet the terms of your scholarship.
How does the new graduation requirement of opting out of PE courses affect my enrollment and eligibility for my merit scholarship?
If you opt out of the new graduation requirements we will be able to count your PE credits for financial aid purposes since they will then be required for graduation. HOWEVER, if you choose the new graduation requirement, your enrollment status may be less than or 3/4, which may impact your eligibility for your merit scholarships, which requires full time (12+ credits) enrollment.
If you have any questions regarding your scholarship terms and conditions, please feel free to contact us at: scholarships@umbc.edu or by phone at 410-455-3813.
