Please Note: THTR Minors and students not registered for SP 26 classes are not assigned advisors. As a minor, you should be receiving advising and registration clearance from your primary major. If you need advice, require a course permission, or have a question about scheduling and/or course rotations, OR are a THTR Minor or a student returning from a semester break, please contact Adam Mendelson (am@umbc.edu).
If you believe you have been left off the advising list in error, do not hesitate to contact Adam Mendelson (am@umbc.edu) and Katie Hileman (hikat1@umbc.edu). If you are not actually a theatre major or minor, please let us know–and be sure to update your major and minor as soon as you can.
