Hello, New Retrievers!

We are so excited to welcome you to Retriever Nation! Our New Student Orientation program is designed to introduce you to our inclusive excellence community, introduce you to our UMBC traditions, acquaint you with campus resources, and connect with other new Retrievers.

Virtual advising is part of the orientation process. During your virtual advising appointment you will be matched with an Orientation advisor to register for your courses.

Spring 2025 Orientation Registration is available now! Students admitted for Fall 2025 will be able to access orientation registration in April! Please contact orientation@umbc.edu with any questions.
