University of Maryland, College Park Terrapin Life

With guidance from university and county health experts, due to a significant and concerning increase in positive COVID cases on and around our campus, UMD is implementing new COVID measures, effective immediately and until further notice: go.umd.edu/Sbu

These include:
● Increased restrictions on gatherings, and on Stamp Student Union, RecWell, and student organization activities
● Enhanced Health Precautions in any residence hall and/or Fraternity and Sorority Life house where cases are growing
● Additional COVID testing for affected populations

If there is no significant decrease in cases over the coming days, we will take further action. The combination of COVID fatigue, new variants and this uptick in cases reinforces the vital importance of maintaining our protocols. We must all do our part, together.

As we near the end of the semester, we recognize that many students are feeling particularly stressed about grades and other class-related situations. We want to remind all students that there are several faculty and staff who are here to support you in navigating the end of the semester.

If there are circumstances within a class that you think need an extra set of ears, eyes, or hands to help you, please directly reach out to your advisor or the Department Chair for that course. You can find their information by doing a simple internet search or by visiting this page: https://www.umd.edu/academic-departments-and-programs

If you feel like you need additional support, the Health Center is here for you. Visit health.umd.edu to learn more.
