Summary

On-campus housing continues to be available for all UMB students who think that this will be the best option for them. Students who choose on-campus housing will be required to complete online COVID-19 training provided by UMB and a COVID-19 roommate/living agreement, and there will be additional communications about safely living on campus.

Existing housing license holders may cancel their license due to academic experiences being conducted completely virtually with verification from the school directly to UMB Housing. 

For additional concerns or considerations, please contact UMB Housing. Cancellation requests will need to be submitted no later than June 26, 2020 - please refer to the communication sent by UMB Housing on Friday, June 12. UMB Housing may be able to accommodate flexible license terms based on your academic obligations. 

Because of the changing nature of the pandemic, we caution students who are securing off-campus housing to prioritize living arrangements that promote health and safety and to inquire about flexible lease options and cancellation policies.
