University of Maryland students register for classes through Testudo, the online registration system. Through Testudo you can view a complete Schedule of Classes, add courses, drop courses, choose grade methods, and monitor waitlist status.
You can pay any charges to your University student account through the Office of the Bursar. You can also make inquiries into your account from this site.
This information is listed int he Grduate Catalog. In the Catalog you will find official information on all the graduate programs at the University,all official rules and regulations, and listings of approved graduate courses.
You can request a copy of your transcript--either unofficial and official-- from the Office of the Registrar in the Mitchell Building. You can also view your unofficial transcript or request your official transcript through Testudo, the online registration application.
If you have missed a required Graduate School deadline for a given semester (for Approved Program Forms, Application for Graduation, Nomination of Thesis or Dissertation Committee), you need to file a Petition for Waiver of Regulation. This Petition needs to be signed by your program's Director of Graduate Studies and then forwarded to the Graduate School for approval. Note: Petitions will only be granted when considering reasonable extenuating circumsntances; simply having forgotten the deadline does not qualify.
Graduate students must register for at least one credit in each consecutive Fall and Spring semester of their residency at the University. After the tenth day of classes of the second missed semester, the student's admission to the University will be terminated.
The Ombuds Office for Graduate Students exists to assist students in informally resolving disputes within the program, department, administrative unit, or any other University entity.
MEGS is a student management tool used by many of the University's graduate programs. You can log on to MEGS and update your student information here.
You can find these requirements in the Graduate Catalog.
The formatting requirements for University of Maryland Theses and Dissertations are outlined in the University's Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Style Guide, which is available here.
The University of Maryland does not accept hard copy Theses or Dissertations. Instead, students submit their documents electronically to Proquest Information and Learning Services. Graduate School / Registrar staff members will then review the document to ensure compliance with Graduate School requirements. Information on this process is also contained in the Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Style Guide.
Graduation is now handled by the Office of the Registrar. Please contact this office for questions about graduation requirements.
The Survey of Earned Doctorates is conducted by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, which tracks the experiences and occupational intentions of thousands of new recipients of doctoral degrees yearly. The survey is brief, and is used by NORC and other institutions to better understand American graduate education.
