Registration Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Full-Time MBA Students
What is the MBAA99MB that has appeared on my registration?
MBAA99MB is the assigned course number for the track. When you register for the track, this course number is placed on your registration and instructs the system to register you for all of the courses associated with this track. This should remain on your registration and will not affect your grade as no credit is associated with this course number.
Whom do I contact if my registration is blocked?
Common blocks that occur for some first year students are the following:
- Financial Block - Administered by the Office of Student Financial Services and Cashiering for outstanding bill balances.
- Immunization Block - Administered by the University Health Center for incomplete or missing immunization paperwork.
- Diploma Block - Administered by the Graduate School for missing official diploma.
If your admission is still pending or cancelled in the system, please contact the Admissions Office at (301) 405 - 2559.
