You may let us know your building or location preferences. We recommend you review the Residence Halls at a Glance and e-mail us at least 3 preferences. You can also request an entire community and/or a specific room type (apartment, suite, double, etc.). If you have documented special needs that require specific accommodations, please contact the office for assistance.
You may also request a roommate by sending an e-mail to reslife@umd.edu with both of your full names and University ID numbers with the request to have that student as your roommate. We will need a similar request from that student to consider the requests mutual. Please keep in mind, we cannot guarantee housing requests, though we will try to honor them if possible.
The best consideration deadline for any housing request is June 30. Please bear in mind that while we try to honor as many housing requests as we can, we may not be able to meet all requests.
All beds have regular twin-sized mattresses which require standard twin sheets (not extra-long).
We have a minimum height requirement of 6' 5" for students wishing to have an extra-long twin bed. Before we can process your request, you will need to provide documentation to confirm you meet our minimum height requirement. The documentation can be a copy of your state issued driver's license or ID card, or a note from your doctor.
Beginning July 19, 2013, please forward your documentation to Tony Prosseda by fax to (301) 314-2026 or e-mail to ajpro@umd.edu. After your documentation is received, you will receive an e-mail from Mr. Prosseda confirming whether your request has been approved. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Prosseda at (301) 314-9306.
Freshman assignments are made in the date-order that housing agreements are received, and based on available vacancies. Assignments are located in all of our communities. All freshman assignments are in double, triple, or quad rooms. While we strive to meet any requests that are made, we may not be able to meet all of them.
