Registration Steps for UMUC Asia Distance Education
- Select "Reservations" from the sidebar or from the main menu. After entering identification, select the class(es) desired. Reservations are subject to approval by the DE office based upon prerequisites and current courseload.
- Print out a copy of the approval letter for each course. Complete and process the appropriate forms if receiving government tuition assistance or VA educational benefits using the approval letter as verification of reservation.
- Order textbooks by selecting "textbooks" from the sidebar or by following the links after reserving a course. Textbooks may be purchased with a credit card (Visa or MasterCard) or by selecting to be invoiced by the business office. Textbooks may be shipped to personal mailboxes or to your local UMUC Asia Field Site. Non-MPS orders may require an additional $7.00 shipping fee. Guam and Kwajalein residents are exempt from the $7.00 fee.Textbooks take approximately two weeks to arrive, so don't delay in ordering.
- Take the approval letter(s) to the nearest UMUC Asia Field Site to officially enroll. Students cannot register for a DE course without a printed copy of a valid approval letter.
- Complete an Enrollment Form at your UMUC Asia Field Site and pay all tuition and fees in full (no cash is accepted).
- Students gain access to their classes about three weeks before the term begins. If a student registers within three weeks of the class start date, then they can expect access about one week after registration. First-time students should receive their username and password within the same time frame.
- Upon completion of registration, students will receive one copy of the Enrollment Form, which will serve as an official record (keep these for tax purposes).
