Terp Young Scholars

Student Life on Campus

After class, you can explore UMD’s campus and use many of its facilities and resources, including pools, Recreation Centers, TerpZone in the Stamp Student Union, and the University’s six campus libraries.

Parking Permit

If you plan to park on campus, you’ll need a parking permit. After you’re admitted, you can purchase a Summer Session II parking permit through UMD’s Department of Transportation Services (DOTS).

We recommend purchasing your permit at least one week before the program begins.

Before applying, ensure you have the following technology and internet access:
