Dear Centreville Hall Residents:
We are writing to provide eligible residents with information about Room Selection 2015 and selecting a
space in residence halls for the 2015-2016 academic year. Submitting your Returning Student
Agreement is the first step towards participating in Room Selection 2015.
The Returning Student Agreement will be available starting February 27, at 3:00pm, at
www.reslife.umd.edu. In order to participate in Room Selection 2015, you must complete your
Returning Student Agreement no later than Friday, March 27, by 11:59pm.
Centreville Hall will continue to house the College Park Scholars Global Public Health (GPH), Life
Sciences (LS), Science, Discovery and the University (SDU), and Science and Global Change (SGC)
Living-Learning Programs in 2015-2016. Please consult with your Program Director for specific
expectations about returning to your program building.
Please read the following information to understand your options during Room Selection:

First-year GPH, LS, SDU, and SGC Scholars residents are eligible to return to
Centreville Hall next year. However, per the agreement between College Park Scholars and
Resident Life, all Scholars in Centreville must go shopping during Room Selection.
A. When you submit your Returning Student Agreement, you will choose to go shopping for
a new assignment.
B. You will be eligible to participate in Preference Based Shopping starting April 1, and will
select a room in Centreville Hall or a new room somewhere else on campus based on
your priority number.
