<p>Did anyone get in for the Spring semester? Could anyone tell me what that would mean for classes, graduation, etc?</p>
<p>Also, is there no chance at all to get into Fall semester?</p>
<p>My daughter was admitted for the Spring too</p>
<p>The differences are:
- no dorm in the Fall semester.
- Take class after 3:00 PM
After 1 semester, you will be exactly everyone else.</p>
<p>You have couple options:
- Take classes at UMDCP as above
- Go to Community College for 1 semester first.</p>
<p>It appears that there will be some housing on campus in the fall for students that were accepted for spring. Below is an email my daughter, a freshman, received yesterday.</p>
<p>Dear Maryland Resident,</p>
<p>The Department of Resident Life is excited to announce a new development concerning on-campus housing for Fall 2014.</p>
<p>Our department believes campus residence halls offer the most supportive housing option for freshman students as they transition to the University of Maryland. As the Office of Undergraduate Admissions prepares to release decisions for new applicants for the 2014-2015 academic year, the Department of Resident Life has sought and obtained approval to offer Spring 2015 admitted students participating in the Freshmen Connection program during the fall semester an on-campus housing option for the first time.</p>
<p>With long-term advocacy by the Residence Hall Association, and support from both the Office of Extended Studies and the Office of Undergraduate Admission, we plan on offering Freshmen Connection students housing on a space-available basis for Fall 2014.</p>
<p>The opening of Prince Frederick Hall in August will add over 450 new beds to the nearly 12,000 spaces currently available in residence halls and public-private partnership apartments. This increased capacity, along with the desire to provide housing options for first-time students makes the timing for this decision optimal.</p>
<p>Our recently posted “Fall Housing Outlook” stated that we anticipate being able to house current first, second, and third year students interested in returning to on-campus housing in residence halls or seeking spots in public-private partnership apartments, and this development for Freshmen Connection students does not change that expectation. We remain committed to offering our current students the ability to remain in our housing for 2014-2015.</p>
<p>More information regarding housing for the 2014-2015 academic year in public-private partnership apartments can be found at <a href=“Leasing at South Campus Commons & The Courtyards | Department of Resident Life | University of Maryland”>http://www.reslife.umd.edu/housing/commonscourtyards/</a> and our web site, <a href=“http://www.reslife.umd.edu”>www.reslife.umd.edu</a>, will soon be updated in preparation for Room Selection 2014 for our residence halls.</p>
<p>We are excited about the future and our ability to provide a housing option for these new students to the University of Maryland.</p>
<p>Sincerely,
Dr. Deborah Grandner
Director of Resident Life</p>
<p>that’s very exciting, terpmom7. wow, I wonder if this means it is the Freshmen Connection students who will have first shot at Prince Frederick Hall. Wouldn’t that be ironic?</p>
<p>Irony…that’s one word for it!</p>
