Parking Permit

At Orientation, commuter students receive a parking permit that allows you to park on-campus in designated lots. Please read the posted signs in the parking lots. If you do not park in the correct lot, you will receive a campus parking ticket. You may use disabled parking spaces only if you have a current campus-parking permit and a state-issued disabled permit and/or license plate.

Program Activities and Seminars

Your commuter course package underwrites the costs of all scheduled program-related activities and seminars. This fee is charged whether you decide to attend these activities or not. We do not pro-rate. As a commuter student, you must make additional effort to return to campus to enjoy these evening and weekend activities. Upon the completion of the program, we ask students to complete a survey. These surveys demonstrate that those students who fully participated in the scheduled events were the ones with the highest satisfaction rating. You are encouraged to attend and participate to the fullest.

Campus Recreation Center

As a registered University of Maryland student, you have access to Campus Recreation Services facilities. You need to use your student ID in combination with a picture ID to gain access.

Participation in CRS activities, including use of facilities and equipment, is completely voluntary. There are risks and hazards, minor and serious, associated with participation in athletic and fitness related activities. Participants voluntarily assume all responsibility and risk of loss, damage, illness, and/or injury to person or property associated with participation in CRS activities. The University of Maryland, its officers, agents, and employees is not responsible for any loss, damage, illness, or injury to person or property arising out of or relating to participation in CRS activities, including the use of CRS facilities and equipment. The University of Maryland does not provide medical, health, or other insurance for participants. Purchasing adequate health/medical insurance prior to participation is strongly recommended.

Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

The University provides a full range of services and accommodations to assist disabled students. Upon enrollment, students seeking assistance should contact Eric Johnson, Program coordinator in the Office of Extended Studies, e-mail johnsone@umd.edu, or phone 301-405-1027. Only students who identify their disabilities well in advance can be assured of proper accommodation upon their arrival on campus.

Miscellaneous

Spending Money: The course package fee covers most course expenses as well as most meals. About $50 per week should cover incidental expenses (e.g., gifts, snacks, supplies, etc.). Books and other supplies are not included in the package price unless specified.
