UMD AdmissionsHonors College Next Steps

New Student Info

Now comes the fun part! After being admitted into the Honors College and invited to join ACES, students must confirm enrollment to ensure on-campus housing, a vital part of the ACES LLP requirements. After that, students gain access to all sorts of information and events including orientation materials, online chats with the ACES staff along, and game nights with the ACES Student board.

New ACES Students: Read the below information carefully. Email aces@umd.edu with any questions.

In order to join ACES, you must confirm your enrollment. When you confirm your enrollment to the University of Maryland by May 1, 2020 you will be automatically confirmed for enrollment in ACES. 

ACES students are highly encouraged to live in Prince Frederick Hall for their freshman and sophomore year. In order to confirm your place in Prince Frederick, you must apply for housing by May 1, 2020. Missing the May 1 deadline may impact your ability to secure on-campus housing.

New Student Orientation has moved online! Students should register for orientation with the Orientation Office. Students must attend an orientation program in the summer to build their fall schedules. The Honors College invites newly admitted students to attend Honors Orientation, but students also have the option to attend a regular orientation. Honors Orientation is scheduled for June 15-16, June 25-26, and July 15-16

To learn more about orientation for first year students, please visit the university orientation webpage.

Orientation synchronous sessions for ACES are 4:30pm-5:30pm on the following dates:

  •     June 15
  •     June 25
  •     July 15

Students can join the synchronous sessions at https://go.umd.edu/ACESOrientation2020. Students can view the ACES Orientation Video HERE.
