Schedule Adjustment
Students may make certain adjustments to their schedule
through the end of late registration. The schedule-adjustment
options available include changing a section, dropping a class,
or adding a class. Students may drop or add a course only within
the same academic term or session. Students may drop a class
or change a grading option without charge. Information on
schedule adjustment is available online at www.umuc.edu/register.
GoArmyEd Students
The GoArmyEd procedures are summarized here.

REGISTRATION
Note: GoArmyEd students now register, for both on-site
and online courses, through the GoArmyEd portal.
Course Load
An adult student who is employed full time should normally
enroll in one three-credit course or the equivalent during an
eight-week session. Such a course involves 48 classroom hours
of instruction and approximately two hours of outside preparation
for each hour of class, with a comparable amount of time
required for Distance Education (DE) courses. Most students
should be enrolled in no more than two DE courses at one
time. An experienced student may enroll for a heavier course
load if he or she is able to attend class and participate regularly
and complete the necessary outside study. For a student who is
not receiving federal financial aid, full-time enrollment is considered
to be six credits per session for on-site classroom courses,
or twelve credits at any time in Distance Education courses.
