Providing an Advising Authorization
Before You Begin...
Advising Authorization is a task performed by Advisors after a term has been activated for registration. All Undergraduate Degree Seeking Students at UMBC must have Advising Authorization before they can register for classes.
Navigate to the Advising Center and then select the "Advising Authorization" link from the link list.
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.
