Medical Information Form

Health Services and Insurance

The Medical Information Form requests evidence of health insurance coverage. The form is used in the event the student requires medical attention. Should the student require such attention, s/he will be taken to the University Health Center or to the nearest hospital, depending on the severity of the injury or illness. The parent/guardian must make immediate arrangements to assume responsibility for the student’s health care. Although this form facilitates admittance, it does not permit the University to assume responsibility for a student’s health care. A student may also visit the Health Center any time during the hours of operation. The student will be billed for any services or treatment rendered.

To submit the Medical Information Form, click here.

Medications

Freshmen First Program staff will not administer any medications. Students must take responsibility for all medication needs and may self-administer. If the student requires assistance with their medication, then it is advised that arrangements be made with the Health Center. For contact information, click here.

The program does not have a medication storage location at the residence hall. Serums and medications which require refrigeration may be stored at the Health Center or a student may wish to rent a mini-refrigerator for their dorm room. For rental information, click here.

Students with temporary disabilities, such as broken legs or sprained ankles, must contact the University Health Center 301-314-8180.

Students with a disability seeking housing assistance must e-mail ff@umd.edu.

Only those residential students who identify their disabilities well in advance can be assured of proper accommodation upon their arrival on campus.

Parking Permit

The program package fee does not include a parking permit. To park on campus, students must have a valid permit. Campus parking regulations are strictly enforced at all times, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The University’s Department of Transportation Services (DOTS) uses a License Plate Recognition system, such that the car’s license plate serves as the parking permit. Enforcement officers scan license plates and, if the plate is not listed in the database for that parking lot, a ticket will be issued.

It is the responsibility of the admitted student to ensure that s/he receives such e-mails. Only the student may change the e-mail of record.
