The students you elect to SGA, which is supported by your student fees, will represent all undergraduate students and will have a strong voice in shared governance across campus. It is important for your voice to be reflected in their decisions.
How to Vote
Students can vote online during early voting (starting Friday, April 8, and ending on Sunday, April 10 at 11:59 p.m.) by going to www.umbc.edu/studentvote
During in-person voting (starting Monday, April 11 through Thursday, April 14, from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. each day) students will need to visit one of three polling locations on campus.
If you're a currently enrolled undergraduate student who has also been admitted to a graduate program at UMBC and have difficulty voting, email cmartinez@umbc.edu with the subject line "Graduate Admit" by 5 p.m. on Tuesday April 12, so we can try to address the issue.
If this isn't your situation, but you still have trouble, email cmartinez@umbc.edu with the subject line "Trouble Voting" by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 12, so we can try to address the issue.
