When you arrive on campus, be aware that some areas of campus may be more accessible than others. Please be patient and take your time when traversing campus. See below for additional details on how these schedule changes may impact the access and availability of campus services and activities.
Residential Move-in
- The university will be open for residential move-in on Wednesday, Jan. 27 at 12 p.m. Please plan to arrive after 12 p.m. to allow the university ample time to clear roadways, parking lots, and sidewalks.
- Because of limited space along roadways, pick-up and drop-off parking in front of residential halls and apartments are reserved for incoming students. We ask that all returning students use assigned parking locations during move-in.
Transportation and Shuttle Service
- Due the current state of secondary and access roads in the region and across campus, UMBC transit will not be in operation on Monday, Jan. 25 or Tuesday, Jan. 26.
- UMBC transit will return to normal operation on Wednesday, Jan. 27; however some routes may change due to limited access to secondary roads. Please refer to the UMBC transit website and the Transit Tracker for further updates and information.
- If you have any questions regarding transportation or shuttle service operation on Wednesday, Jan. 27, please call 410-455-2454.
Parking
- To assist the university with its snow removal efforts, Facilities Management asks that all cars parked on the inner and outer loop of Hilltop Circle be moved to Lot 23 as soon as possible. Any vehicles left unattended in traffic areas critical to snow removal may be relocated to Lot 23 by university police. If you are staying on campus and have any questions, please contact the PMC Front desk, 443-612-0700, or Apartment Community Desk, 443-612-7100.
- UMBC follows its snow removal plan when clearing roads, parking areas, and walkways in the event of inclement weather.
