All first-year CIVICUS students must live in Somerset Hall.* Please note - accepting your invitation will not automatically enroll you in housing at UMD. To be eligible for housing and a room in Somerset Hall, you must complete the 2022-2023 Housing/Dining Services Agreement at reslife.umd.edu prior to May 1, 2022. If you have completed your Housing/Dining Agreement and accepted your invitation to CIVICUS, you will automatically be placed in Somerset Hall.
* Because developing a strong community is foundational to Living and Learning programs, living in Somerset Hall is required for all first-year students. If you have an exceptional circumstance and must live at home, please reach out to us to discuss the possibility of an exemption from the residency requirement. All first-year students living on campus are required to live in Somerset Hall. Second-year students are not required to live in Somerset Hall, but many choose to do so because of the strong community they form.
