University of Maryland: What age and enrollment eligibility applies to 2026–27 residence halls?
DIRECT ANSWER
These are the stated age/enrollment criteria, not an exhaustive assurance of housing eligibility, admission or a room assignment; other agreement exclusions and conditions remain.
Under UMD's 2026–27 residence-hall agreement, admitted students must be at least 16 by August 1, 2026 for fall occupancy or December 1, 2026 for spring. Students enrolled full time (at least 12 credits a semester) have first priority; those below full time are housed only if space remains after full-time assignments. UMD also expressly requires every resident to be enrolled in at least one credit hour at all times. Meeting these conditions does not guarantee a specific room or assignment.
