Independence and time management are key aspects of university life. Students are responsible for attending class, productively managing their time, completing coursework, and seeking academic support from course instructors, teaching assistants and program staff as needed.
In the classroom, Terp Scholars are supervised by course instructors and teaching assistants. Outside of class, Terp Scholars staff are on campus from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm to answer questions and serve a resource for students. Beyond the first day of classes, students are not required to check in with program staff. However, students are encouraged to make full use of their availability and expertise.
After class, students are encouraged to explore campus and the many resources to which they have access. Among the world-class facilities to which Terp Young Scholars have access are the Maryland’s pools, Recreation Centers, TerpZone in the Stamp Student Union and the University’s six campus libraries.
Students who would like to park on campus must purchase a parking permit. After being admitted to Terp Young Scholars, students can purchase a Summer Session II parking permit from the Department of Transportation Services (DOTS). Terp Young Scholars recommends purchasing a permit no later than the Monday prior to the program’s start date.
