Avalible Roomate Seeking Affordable Housing Close to Campus
Hello! I am a newly accepted UMBC graduate student looking to move close to campus (from out of state) for the upcoming Fall semester and potentially part of the summer if it works well.
Some traits of mine and expectations from my roommates:
- Reasonably Quiet
- Generally Cleanly
- No smoking
- No large parties (having friends over for a casual evening is fine)
- LGBTQIA+ friendly
I am open to being friends with my roommates or keeping it at a respectfully distanced professionalism. I am comfortable rooming with international students too, and I speak intermediate Spanish.
Please email me at
o97@umbc.edu if interested and for a quicker response! And, please know further questions are welcome. I will try to check back here regularly, but I am entirely new to this platform.
In order to facilitate a PeopleSoft Campus Solutions upgrade, Campus Solutions will be unavailable from Friday, March 27, 2026 (no earlier than 5:00 PM) through Sunday, March 29, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
During this period, you will not be able to access information or perform transactions in the system. We will strive to minimize downtime and will notify the campus community if the upgrade is completed ahead of schedule. Please note that other functions and applications in myUMBC will remain unaffected.

Candidate Endorsements Update
Below you will find the current list of candidates with all of their approved endorsements for the SGA 2026 Elections. This list includes endorsements received through 11:59pm on March 24th. We will continue to make endorsement updates as they are approved by the Election Board Chair.
Please note there are three kinds of possible endorsements:
- Individual endorsements by an officer of a student organization;
- Student organization executive board endorsements (meaning, at a minimum, the president, vice president, and treasurer of the student org endorse the candidate);
- Student organization endorsements (meaning at least the majority of the student org membership endorses the candidate).
As a result, you'll see different types of endorsements under the names of candidates. Some endorsements supersede others. If, for example, a student org officer endorsed a candidate and that entire student org/their executive board also endorsed the candidate, you will not see a separate line for the individual officer as they are implicitly included within a full org/eBoard endorsement.
Want to submit an endorsement?
You can do so at this link. You must be an officer of a recognized UMBC student organization to be eligible to submit an endorsement.

Blackboard Seeks Faculty Feedback on New Gradebook
Gain early access, provide feedback from 4/20 to 5/1
Blackboard is preparing to launch a completely redesigned gradebook this summer, including a faster, cleaner, and significantly easier-to-use experience for faculty. To ensure the update meets the needs of instructors and their courses, Blackboard developers are inviting faculty members to participate in an upcoming technical preview program from April 20 - May 1, 2026.
During a technical preview, faculty typically get access to a sandbox course with new features enabled. In the upcoming preview window, participants will get exclusive access to the new gradebook for Ultra courses. Key usability improvements include streamlined direct grade entry for quicker updates and flexible name display options, allowing instructors to customize how student names appear. Additional context panels provide quick insights into grading and essential action items.
Ongoing development of the new gradebook has been shaped by faculty feedback from a variety of clients throughout higher education over the past eight to twelve months. Earlier this semester, UMBC's participation in the new gradebook development process began when Blackboard staff visited campus to meet with faculty in small group sessions. The goal was twofold: To gather specific feedback on faculty gradebook priorities and to showcase early previews of the new interface.
UMBC faculty who are interested in trying out the new gradebook features and providing feedback are encouraged to sign up for the technical preview.
