Starting Fall 2018, students can only register for a maximum of 3 ECON courses.
When Fall registration opens in a few weeks, a block on the registration system will prevent students from signing up for more than 3 ECON courses. This course limit will be strictly enforced given the nature of ECON coursework and sequential structure of the curriculum. To make the most of the early registration period, all students must plan ahead and should:- Review Course Information on Testudo - Use the Syllabus Repository (across from the course title) to view previous syllabi for examples of content covered and typical assignments. Check the course Prerequisites, Restrictions, and Duplicate Courses to make sure you are eligible to take this course.
- Talk to your peers - use UMD Course Evaluations to get student perspectives on instructor teaching style and course content.
- Talk to an Advisor - an ECON advisor can help you with questions about your remaining major requirements and information about course options. ECON advising is available on a walk-in basis Monday through Friday from 10am-4:30pm. Please come in and see an ECON advisor if you have any questions about registration.
This change in registration will require earlier research on courses but will give students more options and earlier opportunities to register for the ECON courses needed to make progress in the major. Exceptions to the 3 ECON course limit will be made only in very rare circumstances so it is essential that you plan accordingly.
