Registration Information

Steps to Registering for Your Next Semester's Classes

When preparing for registration be sure to follow each of the steps below:

1. Review your transcript (it can be obtained from www.testudo.umd.edu) along with the Fire Protection Engineering 4-year plans. Students may request an audit from DIVA (on-line audit) or from the FPE academic advisor to verify courses needed to complete the degree.

2. Check the schedule of classes (www.testudo.umd.edu) and select a manageable schedule (no more than 18 credits). VENUS, the Virtual Electronic Network University Scheduler, is the best and quickest way to schedule your courses.

3. Check the prerequisite list to make sure you are well prepared to enroll in your proposed courses. ####

4. Make sure you are financially eligible to register by contacting the Bursar's office at 301-314-9000 (or www.testudo.umd.edu).

5. Check with the Health Center to make sure you do not have an immunization block (301-314-8184).

6. Students are responsible for scheduling and completing appointments with their FPE advisor every semester prior to your registration date.

7. All Freshman - remember, you should complete 4-year graduation and have it approved before you will be allowed to register. For details on how to complete and submit your plan visit the "Four-Year Graduation Plan Overview" website.
