University of Maryland-University College Top Questions

The lack of follow-up and time it takes to connect with offices.

I have only gone through the enrollment and registration process so I haven't had a chance to fully experience the environment of the University yet. I would say the most frustrating thing I've experienced so far is the Financial Aid application process.

This will be my first semester at University of Maryland University College, the only issue I had initially was getting a response quickly from the advisors but I attended an open house and got all my questions answered and applied. I have taken classes at George Mason and NOVA in Northern Virginia and enjoyed both.

Maryland is so large and offers so many programs, but as a student I feel like there are not a lot of opportunities for me to branch out beyond my major.

Taking online classes, and getting familiar with the whole online system. But one you start working on it - it is no longer frustrating.

For several classes I have taken so far, the teachers are not the ones who write the finals. Not sure of the policy behind this, but it has resulted in at least one class where the final did not reflect anything that we had studied in class.

I don't think there is anything frustrating about my school

Getting through the phone system.

The switchboard could use less repetitive screenings . It's frustrating when one has to go through his or her demographics before being able to state the reason for calling.

i can not say, i am just starting this summer and have not had a chance to experience all of what the school has to offer, i will say i do not think i will try and find something that fustrates me about my school, because there are to many things in this world that does and i would like me school to be an outlet away from that.

Because of the make up of my school, not all classes are offered every term. Due to the frequent moving of instructors or rotation of classes between bases, there is not much certainty as to when a class may be offered in my location again. Also, I am often the only student one would categorize as a typical Freshman.

The most frustrating thing about the school I would say was registering for the classes , It was very difficult for me update my courses online from the course catalog to the registration page online. It took quite a bit of time for me to register and update my courses, I wish that the online system was more user friendly , for instance I would suggest having an online student advisor assigned to the student that can capture the screen and assist the student with any questions they may have with registering or scheduling their classes for the semester.

I cannot recall anything.
