Exception to Enrollment Policy
We understand that students sometimes find themselves in challenging circumstances that may have disrupted their enrollment (e.g.: military deployment, personal medical and health concerns, including mental health, and death of an immediate family member). In such cases, students may submit a Request for Exception to Enrollment Policy for consideration for an enrollment adjustment, such as a late term cancellation, late drop or late withdrawal.
To request an exception to enrollment policy, including last day to drop course(s), last day for term withdrawal and last day to cancel enrollment:

Articulation and Partnerships
UMBC welcomes over 1,600 transfer students each year and enjoys strong partnerships (i.e. program-to-program agreements) and collaborative relationships with two and four-year institutions. In addition, we have established relationships with high school programs and other partners. The campus-wide Articulation Work Group facilitates such partnerships to ensure students’ proper academic preparation and planning and a seamless transition to UMBC.
