“Due to the small size of the Chemical Engineering Department at UMBC and the amount of credits required for the major, students need to be careful about when they are taking their classes. CHECK meetings walk students through the limitations in class scheduling that they wouldn’t know about otherwise. During my meeting, I got a better idea of how often classes for the major are run, when I could retake certain classes if needed, and what order of classes would help me best succeed. This helped me plan my academic schedule for the next few years so that I can graduate with my degree in the time frame I want.”

-Julia Van Der Marel, ‘27 Chemical Engineering
