Commuter students have two ways to apply for 2022-2023 housing: Housing Selection process or the Housing Interest Application.

Housing Selection

Participation in the Housing Selection process guarantees students housing for the 2022-2023 academic year and allows you to choose your roommates and room. As a commuter you must meet the following criteria to be issued the Housing Selection application:

Currently enrolled: You must be actively enrolled as a full-time student for the Spring 2022 semester.

COVID Compliant: Students must be in compliance with UMBC COVID-19 expectations, this includes the booster requirement. Check your COVID Compliance Card on myUMBC.

Good Financial Standing: If you have an outstanding balance greater than $250 you will not be eligible to complete the application until you clear your bill with Student Business Services.

Complete a “Commuter Pass” with a current resident between March 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022.

If you meet the above criteria you will be issued the Housing Selection Application which you will need to submit by April 1, 2022 at 5PM. Please review the 2022-2023 Housing Selection Guide to learn more about the Housing Selection process.

Housing Interest Application

The Housing Interest Application will be made available to all commuters on April 6, 2022. Students who complete the Housing Interest Application will be added to the housing wait list. Unlike the Housing Selection process, students on the housing waitlist are not guaranteed housing.

If you are on the waitlist you will be contacted via UMBC email if and when a space becomes available. A housing offer would be sent electronically to the student’s UMBC email as early as mid-May. Students who accept their offer by completing the license (contract) and reservation fee are guaranteed housing for the upcoming license term. Offers are made based on the availability of space. Students will remain on the waitlist until we are able to make them an offer.
