You will have three (3) business days from receipt of this email to return your signed license and place a hold on your desired unit. If you do not return your signed license within three (3) days of receipt, please contact the Housing Office before submitting it to ensure that the space you applied for is still available.

Planning for your move-in day ▾

According to the dates set forth on your UMB Housing License, you will be required to check-in at the Housing Office located at 518 W Fayette Street; Baltimore MD 21201 to pick up your keys.  It is advised that you pick up your University ID prior to move-in so that it can be programmed with access to your building (this will require you to electronically submit your photo to the OneCard Office at least 1 week prior to your desired move-in date).  Due to restrictions on parking, Fayette Square residents will receive information prior to move-in regarding the move-in process and items requiring your action to sign-up for a limited number of move-in appointments to unload within the courtyard area. Please e-mail us at umbhousing@umaryland.edu with your estimated move-in date. If you do not take advantage of the courtyard appointment times, you will need to park your vehicle on the street (there are parking restrictions during rush hour from 7 - 10 a.m. and 4 - 6 p.m. so please plan accordingly) or in a public garage to unload your belongings.
