  1. Advising will begin the week of March 25, 2024. If you have questions about advising, please contact Dr. Snyder via email.
  2. You will receive an email from your assigned advisor with instructions.  Prior to advising, students must complete the correct advising sheet for their curriculum.  If you declared your MCS major on or after June 1, 2018, use these forms: Curriculum (pdf) or Curriculum (Word).  If you declared your MCS major before May 31, 2018, use these: Pre-2018 Curriculum (pdf) or Pre-2018 Curriculum (Word). Certificate students should complete the appropriate form (Pre-2018 Curriculum / Curriculum).
  3. When signing up for advising sessions, please be sure to set your Google calendars to Eastern Time.
  4. We do not require students to submit a permission request forms for 333, 399, and 499. Due to limited seating, we request that you enroll in 499 during your last semester at UMBC.
  5. MCS 404: Students with a verified internship, complete the MCS 404 Permission Request Form and you will be notified when you are given permission. Please be aware that MCS 404 is listed as a hybrid course. Most of the work will be completed asynchronously, but students will be required to meet in person twice during the semester (Dates and times will be determined based on availability early in the semester). If you are planning to graduate in the Fall 24 semester, but have not yet secured an internship, please reach out to Dr. Snyder by email.
