Latest Updates on Housing Availability

January 9, 2008

Assignments start becoming available Friday, January 11, 2008.

First-Time Freshman Students for Spring 2008
All first-time freshman students requesting on-campus housing will be given first priority for vacancies that will become available. Change requests will not be permitted until after February 4, and will be limited due to the high number of students requesting on campus housing for 2007-2008.

Unassigned Students as of January 11
Late notifications are not uncommon for a small number of students. The Department of Resident Life will purposefully wait to assign some new students in order to be able to offer them the best options that come open through late cancellation activity. While we understand this can be frustrating, it is our hope to secure housing assignments that are the most agreeable to new students. You may find out specific information about your status and assignment by going to our web site and clicking on the Check Housing Status link. This information is updated daily. You will need your Directory ID and Password to access this information.


Students on Housing Waiting List for Spring 2008
We encourage you to check the information posted at Waitlist Update for Spring 2008 for up to date information concerning the waitlist.


No Longer Interested in On-Campus Housing?
Individuals who want to have their names dropped from the housing waiting list, and new and returning resident students for Spring 2008 who no longer need housing should send their names, contact information and a brief statement requesting cancellation of housing to reslife@umd.edu . If you prefer, this information may be faxed to 301-314-2026.

Please consult the Residence Halls/Dining Services Agreement for detailed information about release procedures and applicable fees. Waitlisted students do not incur cancellation fees at any time.
