After admission to UMD, you can sign up for A & R What is Advisement & Registration?Advisement & Registration is intended to give new transfer students an introduction to academic life at UMD. We recognize that transfer students bring with them diverse needs and experiences. Therefore, the program focuses primarily on the advisement and registration process while offering individual assistance and optional information as needed. During the program, new students are advised on degree requirements, receive information on how their previous credits will transfer to UMD, receive assistance in selecting and registering for fall semester classes, and receive a copy of their class schedule. New transfer students may have several Advisement & Registration options, depending on the UMD major/college to which the student is admitted. Each of UMD's five undergraduate colleges offers at least one large Advisement & Registration session in person. Some colleges also offer individual or small-group sessions, online advisement and registration, or options via telephone. Your UMD college will provide you with additional information on your Advisement & Registration options. Sometimes a college's large in-person Advisement & Registration sessions fill up. In that case, you will be scheduled for a small-group or individual session. Please rest assured that regardless of how your Advisement & Registration session is conducted, your college will provide you with the information and guidance you need to start your UMD education on the right foot. Important Information About Reservation DeadlinesPlease be aware that you have a fixed amount of time to respond to your invitation to Advisement & Registration, and therefore to secure your place as a UMD student. Students admitted prior to April 9th may secure a spot in the 2012 class by confirming an Advisement & Registration date as soon as possible after receiving their invitation. If you were admitted to UMD after April 9, 2012 you must reply to the invitation within 4 weeks of admission to hold your place at UMD for Fall 2012. Space is limited. Since overall confirmations are reviewed on a weekly basis, UMD may choose to limit new confirmations at any time. If you are confirming after the deadline, you will be directed to contact the UMD Admissions Office to inquire about your status for Fall 2012.

Placement for Mathematics CoursesMany students at UMD are required to take courses in mathematics or statistics as part of their major of degree program. The required math or statistics courses for each major are listed in the UMD Catalog. It is important that students begin their study of mathematics in a course and at a level for which they are prepared. Sometimes this means first taking lower-level courses to prepare for a higher-level required math course. If a student successfully transfers college credit to UMD for a college-level math course, the transferred course may determine math placement at UMD. For students who are not transferring a college-level math course and who are required to take a UMD math course, the UMD Department of Mathematics and Statistics will determine math placement via ACT/SAT score or by a math placement test. For more information, please contact the Swenson College of Science & Engineering at 218-726-7806 or at csesa@d.umn.edu.
