Need Assistance?
Submit a ticket to the INFO Academic Programs ticketing system using our portal.
Inquiries can also be made via infofacquery@umd.edu; however, using email instead of the portal will slow down our ability to assist you.
Academic Affairs sits under the purview of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, the Executive Director for Academics, and the Directors of Undergraduate and Graduate Operations, the Faculty Program Directors, and a wide range of faculty and staff supporting programs and/or thematic areas. Program committee notes can be found via links on our UMD INFO College Committees page.
The Academic Affairs team records all policies, practices, guidelines, and projects in the INFO Academic Affairs Knowledge Base. Answers to most of your questions are available there. The knowledge base is both searchable and browsable via taxonomy. If you are not sure where to start, please review the Teaching FAQs page, which provides links to policies and practices related to teaching assignments, teaching support, instructional materials, grading, collegial leave, academic integrity, and many other topics.
If you are looking for information related to an adjunct contract, please begin with the Teaching Contracts and Appointments page.
