Why is UMBC changing to a new system for student registration, grades, and academic records?
UMBC’s existing system for registration and academic records is obsolete and no longer meets the needs of a modern university. The new system we are adopting will reduce the potential for error caused by manual entry of information, will allow for much faster updating of records, and will offer more detailed information to students about their academic progress. This change has been in the works for years and is part of UMBC’s effort to provide excellent administrative support to students and faculty so they can focus on teaching and learning.
