  1. How do I change my e-mail address?

    Students can change their e-mail address by visiting our online reservation system. After entering their social security number and birth date, students will be given the option to change their e-mail address.

  2. Will changing my e-mail address in the DE database automatically change my e-mail address in WebTycho?

    No, you will need to change your e-mail address in WebTycho separately. To change your email address in WebTycho, do the following:

    • In your WebTycho class, select "Options" from the top toolbar
    • Select "Account Preferences"
    • Once on this page, you can change your e-mail address or WT password

  3. How many UMUC Asia DE courses may I enroll in per term?

    New students should take no more than two courses per term.

    Students should be mindful of other obligations (i.e., work, family, etc.) when deciding on the number of courses in which to register.

    Students with a successful history with UMUC (i.e., GPA of 3.0 or above) may take up to four courses. Students are strongly discouraged from attempting more than four courses at any given time.

  4. Can I enroll in UMUC Europe and UMUC Adelphi courses?

    Yes. Here are the links:

    For UMUC Asia students registering for courses offered from Adelphi, remember to select the Overseas American Military Community registration form, in order to receive the discounted Asia tuition rate.

  5. I am moving back to the United States. Can I complete my degree with UMUC Asia DE?

    Students may complete UMUC Asia courses for which they have registered in Asia. However, once in the US, students must enroll with our stateside counterpart, UMUC Adelphi.

    Members of the military community should visit UMUC's website or contact UMUC via e-mail at askumuc@umuc.edu.

  6. I have a question about proctored exams. Who do I contact?

    Please read through our information on proctored exam procedures. If you don't find the answer to your question, please e-mail Proctored Exam Administrator or call DSN 225-3696.

  7. I'm going to be away from a computer for some time during the term. Can I still take a course?

    Instructors are asked to be flexible with schedules. That being said, if a student will be out of contact for a significant amount of time (i.e., more than two weeks), it might be better to take the course at a later time. Students are ultimately responsible for completing course requirements in the required timeframe.

  8. From where can I access WebTycho?

    Keep in mind, in addition to your home and work computer, you may access WebTycho from the following:

    • Your local UMUC computer lab (where available)
    • Your local library
    • Internet cafes

  9. When will I receive my UMUC Asia DE grade slip?

    Students can expect to receive their official grade slips about four to six weeks after the term has ended. Instructors post unofficial grades in the classroom soon after the term has finished.

  10. Who can I contact if my question is not answered here?

    If you do not see the answer to your question here, please contact the DE office.
