Welcome Home

Welcome to Spring 2026, Terps!

Whether you’re joining the University of Maryland for the first time or returning to continue your journey, welcome (back) to campus! We are so glad you're here.

This spring is a fresh opportunity to explore, connect, grow, and thrive. At Maryland, your experience is what you make it—and you don’t have to go it alone. The Division of Student Affairs is here for you every step of the way.

As we kick off the semester, we encourage you to:

• Find your people at events like the Winter Welcome, All Niter (Feb. 6), and the Second Look Fair, where you can connect with 400+ student orgs and campus departments.
• Stay active with RecWell’s gyms, classes, and outdoor adventures.
• Fuel up with Dining Services’ variety of healthy and delicious meal options.
• Care for your well-being through the University Health Center and Counseling Center, or explore our mental health and well-being resources.
• Navigate your career path with the University Career Center—it’s never too early (or too late!) to start.
• Get support from the Dean of Students Office if you’re ever facing challenges or not sure where to begin.
• Download the UMD App for quick access to resources, events, and more.
• Stay informed through the Keep Connected email each week, filled with ways to make the most of your time at Maryland.

No matter where you are in your Terp journey—new, returning, undergrad, grad—we are excited to be in community with you. You’ve got this, Terp, and we’ve got you.
