Becoming Connected Orientation programs at UMBC occur throughout the summer for students admitted for the fall semester.
Students attend programs in order to meet with an academic advisor and register for classes.
During each program, students are able to learn more about UMBC and the resources available to help them succeed. There are separate programs for freshman and transfer students. The programs are currently being revised and this home page will soon contain information outlining the freshman, transfer and parent programs which occur in June, July and August. These are overnight programs that begin in the morning and end the following day around noon. Orientation publications are in the process of being printed and will be mailed at the end of March to all students who have been admitted on a degree-seeking basis.
