University of Maryland, Baltimore County
UMBC describes no general first-year residency requirement, and university admission alone does not assign an on-campus room. Its new-student housing process has a separate housing contract, reservation and applicable program conditions. Check Residential Life for the student’s completed contract and housing status, and ask the relevant program about any scholarship or program-specific residence obligation. The general policy does not establish that every student may disregard an individual housing requirement.
