Registration Dates

  • Fall Semester: Beginning noon, May 1

Health Requirement

All newly admitted students must complete the University of Maryland’s Medical History and Immunization Record form. Failure to submit the completed health form to the University Health Center before the first day of your first semester at Maryland (either fall or spring) will result in a registration block on your student record, preventing you from registering for the upcoming semester.

Click here to access the printable Health Center form and mail the completed health form directly to the Health Center (the address is provided on the form). Questions regarding the University’s immunization policy or the "immunization form" may be directed to the University Heath Center at 301-314-8182.

Course Textbooks

Textbook requirements are posted by the instructor and may be accessed through the portal. Textbooks usually appear about 3-4 weeks before the start of classes.

The University is served by two local bookstores. Textbooks may be purchased from these locations or any other textbook store or online vendor.
