As the start of the academic year approaches, your student might be interested in learning the layout of campus. Here's a printable map of UMD. This interactive map of campus might also be useful, you are able to click on a building to get more information, building/room layouts, department locations and phone number and more. You can also check out our 3D interactive map and tours here.

If your student is a little anxious about finding their way to classes, they won't be alone. There will be plenty of time during Welcome Week to check out the lay of the land. If they plan to live on campus, their Resident Advisor can help. The Housing Information Desk in Lake Superior Hall is a central hub for students living on campus - they can assist with campus directions. Or, regardless of where your student is living, they can ask the people they meet to walk around. Within a few weeks, they'll get to know how to get from Point A to Point B. In reality, there are tons of tucked-away places to learn about throughout your student's time at UMD. Remind them to explore and discover!
