I submitted the form for the Programs where I rank them using points and then write an essay about which ones interest me and I was just wondering if i get any sort of confirmation email that lets me know it is submitted.
No. You receive no kind of notification, at least not immediately. I submitted mine two days ago and did not receive any email. I made sure to email the head of the honors college about not receiving one. She replied very quickly saying that my preferences had been received. PM me for her email if you want.
If we are filling out the housing preferences for Honors, do we also have to fill out the Housing form on our Maryland Portal?
@skotlyar – The Honors preference form is not really a housing preference form, it’s an Honors Program preference form. That can be a little confusing since each Honors program has associated housing. However, you could be in Honors and be a commuter, or live off campus and therefor not be in Honors housing. The separate Housing form lets UMD know that you want to live on campus (in Honors housing). I hope this makes sense/
@SoofDad Ah I see. Thank you very much!
