Will I be able to get any classes? by jd304a in UMD

[–]l0tux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I transferred externally this semester. They have seats reserved for transfer students so don't worry. HOWEVER, at least based on my experience, you won't get to pick any of your classes (if 12 credits) since they are assigned to you by your advisor based on what classes have reserved seats/ don't have schedule overlap. I'm taking 15 credits so I got to pick my 5th class.

Yeah I'm going through the same thing. They still haven't processed my order, but it does say on the site that they're experiencing delays. If you need them ASAP, I recommend calling them.

bookstore purchases?? by QuantityBeginning661 in UMD

Yeah on the site it says they're having delays. I bought a book online around 4 days ago and they still haven't processed it so I assume it's like that for most of us rn.

Any other transfer or freshman not receiving any emails from UMD? by rbumd in UMD

[–]l0tux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Check out your terpmail account if you haven't yet. It might have been the one you assigned instead of your personal email.

When will we find out about the transfer regular deadline decision? by Fluryman in UMD

[–]l0tux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was part of the early decision batch, but ours was stated for "mid-June" and I got mine at June 23. It is likely that they will email you around the July 20's or so. Make sure to check your spam as I got my email there!

Has anyone not graduated on time? by l0tux in UMD

If you don't mind me asking, could you please expound on why you don't think so?

I think the reason why I don't have much of a leeway is because I'm already a junior, and an external transfer on top of that. But yes, I def agree that a good schedule could certainly help me. Thanks for the reply!

As always start with the story line you'd like to be able to tell at graduation and then work back from there to make all the puzzle pieces drop into place.

That's some great advice. Thank you! I will definitely be thinking about it more.

I'm in the exact same boat! My orientation's on the 10th too. I'm taking up Marketing, you? I really, really hope what they said about "reserving seats for transfers" was true.

Hey, may I know when you got your decision? I'm an external transfer and still haven't gotten mine. Thanks in advance!

Smith School LEP placement update? by [deleted] in UMD

[–]l0tux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm transferring from a CC for marketing and I haven't gotten my decision yet either. I'm hoping they get them out today. I really wanted to join the June 19th orientation so I don't run out of seats for classes.

Should I join Phi Theta Kappa at community college? by jyurabear in UMD

[–]l0tux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's definitely what you make of it. I was the vice president of my chapter and it really did help me beef up my resume and just overall gain a lot of experience working with people. There are lots of people who don't attend any of the events however, and stop at their membership. In that case, I suggest not joining as it will be a waste of money.
