1. Schedule
Adjustment/Registration
January 25, 2016 through February 5, 2016 is the schedule
adjustment period. During this time frame, students may add and drop classes
without it affecting their transcript.
Schedule adjustment is also the beginning of waitlist/holdfile
check-in. If you are on a
waitlist/holdfile for any course, you must check-in daily or else you will be
dropped from the waitlist/holdfile. Once
you are dropped from the waitlist/holdfile, there is no way to regain your
previous position, regardless of the circumstances.
Friday, February 5, 2016 is the last day of schedule
adjustment. After February 5, 2016,
students will not be able to add or drop courses. Additionally, all waitlists will end on
February 5. If you were waitlisted for a
class, but did not gain access to the course through the waitlist, CCJS
Advising can NOT oversubscribe you into the course. There are NO exceptions to this policy.
Students can now receive permission for more than three CCJS
courses. If you would like to receive a
stamp for an additional course, please visit our stamps website at www.ccjsstamps.umd.edu.
2. Audits
Students who currently have between 75-89 credits will be
required complete an academic audit during the spring semester. Audits are a comprehensive review of your degree
thus far and cover what you will need to complete in the future to obtain your
degree. Audits can be done online or
in-person. Students in the 75-89 credit
range will receive additional information about audits via e-mail after
schedule adjustment ends.
3. Spring Graduation
Students who anticipate graduating in Spring 2016 MUST apply
for graduation by Friday, February 5, 2016.
Students apply for graduation online through Testudo at: http://testudo.umd.edu/. More information about the Spring 2016 commencement
ceremonies will be posted on the commencement website
(http://www.commencement.umd.edu/), the CCJS website, and emailed to students
in the coming weeks.
Summer Graduates: If
you are planning to finish your course work in the summer, please DO NOT apply
for spring graduation. Summer graduates
can apply for graduation while registering for summer courses. Summer registration begins February 23, 2016. If you are planning to graduate in the
summer, please be advised there is no formal university or departmental
graduation ceremony in the summer.
Students planning to graduate in the summer can request to
"walk" in the spring CCJS departmental graduation ceremony. During the departmental ceremony, graduates
will have their name called and walk across the stage in regalia. Summer graduates' names will NOT appear in
either the university or departmental program booklets. If you would like to walk in the Spring 2016
ceremony as a summer graduate, please contact CCJS advising (ccjsadvising@umd.edu)
AFTER you have registered for your remaining summer courses and no later than
Friday, April 15, 2016. In the e-mail,
please provide your full name, UID, email address and please list the subject
as “Spring 2016 Walk List.”
*Please note that a degree in CCJS is a Bachelor of Arts
(BA) NOT a Bachelor of Science (BS)
