Housing Selection is the process in which students sign up for housing for the 2010-2011 year. This process involves submitting an application, accepting an offer, and signing the licensing documents (including all financial paperwork, guarantor forms, and meningitis waivers).

To qualify for residency at Walker Avenue Apartments, students need to be in good standing at University of Maryland, Baltimore County for the entire term of the license. Undergraduate students are required to have 39 credits recognized by UMBC prior to applying at Walker Avenue.  All residents must be enrolled full time at UMBC. Undergraduates must be enrolled in at least 12 credits. Graduates must be enrolled in at least 9 credits.

Students must go to http://www.umbc.edu/reslife/apply then select “Apply for Housing”. The student will need to complete the Housing Application. If the student is eligible to live in Walker Avenue Apartments, the Walker Application will appear once the Housing Application is completed. Once the Students submits the Walker Application an offer will be issued through the Housing Selection website. The student will need to either accept or reject the offer. If they accept the offer they will be directed to the online license, which they must complete then print out the last page of the license to sign and return to the office with a $200 Reservation Fee.
