Welcome to the Undergraduate Office of the University of Maryland’s Computer Science Department. We’re here to assist you with your academic and professional development. If you have questions about the major or need assistance with university or departmental policies, please feel welcome. This office is where you get answers, and we are happy to assist.
Are you already a CS major? You know that mandatory advising appointments occur at least once a semester, but you are welcome here any time. (Earlier is always better than later when it comes to heading off an academic difficulty, so especially if you feel burdened, contact us right away.) We are your advocates.
Are you thinking about becoming a CS major at College Park? We’re here to answer your questions too!
