New Schedules and New 'Term'-inology
by: Information Technology, UMUC Asia
11-Jul-2008

-As most of you may already know, UMUC has launched the Global MyUMUC Portal. Registrations will no longer be conducted through Asia's Student Portal, but rather through the Global MyUMUC Portal. You can view our current schedules on our websites by clicking the "Schedules" link above. Once the new schedule page opens, select a Session, a Location and click the "View Schedule" button.

As with most changes, come new terminology. We will no longer use "Term" when referring to our schedules. Instead, we will use the season (i.e. Fall, Spring, Summer), the calendar year, and a "Session" number. For a more detailed explanation of these new terms click the "more" link below.

The folllowing charts are meant to assist you with the new terminolgy.

When reviewing the new schedules, you may want to annotate the "Class Number" on the schedule. You will need this number when you are registering. If you have any questions or need assistance, you may contact Asia's Helpdesk (helpdesk@asia.umuc.edu) or you can contact your nearest Field Representative. They will be happy to assist you with all your academic needs. Additionally, you can obtain further assstance through the "360 Support" website. They have 24/7 chat services dedicated to assist you.
