Offers for transfers are made as spaces become available. Priority is based on your application date and the distance your permanent address is from campus. If you are offered a housing space, you will need to read and accept the terms of the Housing License online. Upon agreeing to the terms of this license, you will need to print the License Signature Page, sign and return it with your $200 Housing Deposit (check or money order made out to UMBC) by the indicated deadline. If you are under 18 years of age a parent or guardian must also sign your License Signature Page.
