I submitted my registration form to the registration office and I am still not able to web register using SURFs, what should I do?
First confirm if you do not have any holds by clicking on the view holds link. If you do not have any holds please call the registration hotline at 410-706-2799. If you were on a leave of absence you will also be prevented from registering. Please see the student handbook for more details on the Return Policy under the section on Leave of Absence http://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/handbooks.htm.
I have completed the semester and my final grade(s) is/are not posted, what should I do?
Final grades are submitted and posted during the last week of the semester. Deadlines for grade submission can be found on the School of Nursing's Academic Calendar http://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/calendar.htm. If it is a week or more past the deadline your first step should be to confirm with your instructor that the grade has been submitted. If the grade has been submitted you may call the registration hotline at 410-706-2799 to inform Registration Services that your grade is not posted, and the office will investigate your situation. Please note that Registration Services does not give out grades and therefore you should refer to your SURFs account.
I have registered for the semester but do not plan to attend due to circumstances, what should I do?
If you are a new student you may submit a deferral request to the Admission Office before the semester begins. If you are a continuing student you must submit a Leave of Absence form before the first day of the semester. If you decide to not attend and the semester has already begun you must submit a Withdrawal Form, please note you will be responsible for a portion of tuition and fees. Leave of Absence and Withdrawal forms should be submitted to Registration Services for processing.
Where do I go to download forms for add/drop, registration, or withdrawal, etc.?
