Academic Advising

Students will work with an iSchool Undergraduate Student Services Advisor as they enter the program. Students will work with an iSchool Advisor for at least one semester in order to complete Mandatory Advising and develop a full academic plan. 

Upon declaring a track in Social Data Sciences students will transition to advising in the Feller Center in the College of Behavioral and Social Sciences. 

Students must declare a track in Social Date Science by the time they reach 60 credits. 

Students entering into Social Data Science with more than 60 complete credits must declare a track in their first semester. 

Advising questions can be directed to sdsc [at] umd.edu
