Supplemental advising refers to advising that a student receives from a department or program other than the department of the student’s declared major(s). Examples of supplemental advising include:
- Scholars Program Advising (e.g., Meyerhoff Scholars, Honors College)
- Pre-Professional Advising
- The PreMedical and PreDental Advising Office has information for students planning to apply to Medical, Dental, Veterinary, Optometry, and Podiatry programs.
- The Office for Academic & Pre-Professional Advising has information for students planning to apply to Nursing, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant, Dental Hygiene, Medical & Research Technology, and other allied health programs.
- Students planning to apply to Law School, or who wish to pursue employment in law-related areas, will want to work with the Pre-Law Advising Office, which coordinates the Pre-Law program. Molly Timko (mtimko@umbc.edu) currently serves as UMBC’s Pre-Law Advisor.
- Athletics Advising
- International Student Advising
- Double Major/Minor/Certificate Advising
While the department of a student’s declared major is the primary point of contact for registration clearance each semester, supplemental advising is equally important. Aim to meet with your supplemental advisor on a regular basis.
