Registration Instructions

Summer Term registration requires that you are attending the University of Maryland in the current spring semester or have accepted admission to the University for the upcoming fall semester. If not, then you are not a current student and you must apply.

• Visit MyUM.
• Log in with your Directory ID and password.
• Click on Academics & Testudo.
• Under Registration Time & Blocks, select your registration term.
• Click on Take Me to Registration Drop/Add.
• Enter the course and section number(s) into the Drop/Add table and hit ENTER.
• When finished with registration, hit Sign Off.
• Enter and submit the information on the Payment Calculation Page. Registration is not complete unless payment is submitted.
• For complete information on Summer Term’s payment policy, click here.

Important Registration Notes

• Non-Standard Courses: Non-standard courses are those whose date spans do not fit exactly within a 6-week session. This includes 3-week sessions. A message may appear on the registration screen to draw attention to the course meeting times. Read the message and then hit ENTER a second time. When finished with registration, hit SIGN OFF.
• 3-week Sessions: Although you are permitted to register up through the third day of class, due to the compressed nature of these sessions, some instructors may determine that you have missed too much of the class and require that you drop. It is advised that you register no later than the first day of the session.
• Online Courses: After registration for an online course, it may take 24 – 48 hours before you obtain access. Students who register on or after the first day of classes will run into immediate access issues, which may cause you to fall irreparably behind.

Waitlist & Waitlist Check-in

1. Visit MyUM.
2. Log in with your Directory ID and password
3. Click on Academics & Testudo.
4. Under Registration Time & Blocks, choose the registration term.
5. Click on Take Me to Registration Drop/Add.
6. Enter the course and section number(s) into the Drop/Add table and hit ENTER.
   • You must enter the appropriate section number you would like to waitlist, otherwise you will be shown other sections that are still open, or none at all if it is the only section offered for the term.
7. The next screen will confirm that the course is full. Select the section and hit RETURN SECTIONS.
8. Process daily waitlist check-in beginning on the first day of classes at MyUM. Click on Academics & Testudo and follow the waitlist check-in link.

If one day is missed you will be dropped from the waitlist and must start over.

The move from waitlist status to enrolled status is an automatic enrollment transaction if a seat becomes available. Students, however, must check their waitlist status daily during the schedule adjustment period. If you fail to check in, you will lose your waitlist status.
