Testudo is more than the official mascot
for the University of Maryland.
Testudo
is also an on-line site where students can
register for classes, obtain financial account information and
more. The web interface is available at:
http://www.testudo.umd.edu.
Logging in to Testudo requires knowledge of your Student
Identification Number and PIN number, received at Orientation.
Students who may have forgotten their PIN number should
contact the Registration
office at 301.314.8240. Students can also log into Testudo by
using their Directory
ID and password.
Once in Testudo, the student will see a variety of Campus related
material in addition to registering for classes, requesting an unofficial
transcript, and the Academic Calendar to name a few. The links
provide the following information:
- Admissions is for
both Undergraduates and Graduates and reenrollment activities. The
student
can even put in for a housing request, transfer credits, and look for
Financial Aid.
- Records &

to see their grades (using this site), change the PIN, Drop/Add classes,
waitlist for a class, apply for graduation, and view grades.

classes (e.g., Spring, Fall, Winter, and Summer). It also shows the
