Incoming Students
Welcome! We're delighted you've made the decision to attend the University of Maryland (UMD) and be a part of College Park Scholars.
Plan Ahead
For those living on campus in the fall, please keep an eye on the Department of Resident Life website for move-in information. We will update this page with additional details this summer.
There are also a few steps you need to take before move-in.
Register for Summer Orientation
The Scholars-specific orientation dates for Summer 2025 are:
- June 4-5
- June 23-24
- July 21-22
Complete New Student Form
Before you arrive at UMD, you will need to complete a consent form and give us some information that will allow us to plan a rewarding Scholars experience for you. You will need your UID to access the form.
If you are unable to attend any of the Scholars-only New Student Orientation sessions, College Park Scholars will be hosting two drop-in Scholars Touchpoint virtual sessions where you can get your last-minute questions answered. Log in and join us on Monday, June 9 from 4 to 5 p.m. ET or on Tuesday, July 15 from 4 to 5 p.m. ET. You can drop in anytime during each hour-long session.
