Things you can do if you are on the Waiting List:
  • Make sure your campus housing application has the most up-to-date data for you.
  • Make sure you are checking your UMBC email account regularly.
  • Make sure your contact information is updated in my UMBC so that if we mail communication to you it will be received.

Off-campus housing
There are many apartment communities in the area that are served by the UMBC transit system. Students on the wait list, especially those in the lower consideration categories, are urged to contact UMBC Off-Campus Student Services. They can assist you in finding suitable housing near campus.
