Advising Authorization is a task performed by Advisors after a term has been activated for registration. All Undergraduate Students at UMBC must have Advising Authorization before they can register for classes.
1. Go to myUMBC and navigate to Topics > Advising & Student Support > Advising Center.
2. Search for a student using the Empl ID or Campus ID number (The most accurate way to locate a student is to ask for the student's Campus ID number. If you do not have access to the number, you can search for the student using the PeopleSoft search for the campus ID field)
3. Ensure the correct Institution, Career and Term fields are entered in the fields provided. The Term should default to the current term. If you are attempting to provide advising authorization for a future term, click on the magnifying class next to the Term field to select the appropriate term.
2. Click the Advising Authorization link.
3. Check the Eligible to Enroll checkbox.
4. Click Save!
SA Tip
If a student has ever been a different program at UMBC (graduate, certificate, ELI, etc), you will likely need to use the scrolling arrows to ensure you are on the correct authorization page.
