New & Transfer Students
Greetings to New and Transfer Students
We hope your time at the University of Maryland is a healthy one. Please take a moment to look through the services and programs provided by the University Health Center.
The University Health Center strives to help keep you healthy while you are a student here. Not only do we work hard to keep you well, we also offer hands on learning experiences through our volunteer and peer education programs.
The Health Center offers resources to ease your transition to the University. The Transition Support Group, offered by the Mental Health Service (located on the 2nd floor of the Health Center), addresses common issues in changing schools and provides support for this sometimes-difficult process. For information contact the Mental Health Service at (301) 314-8106.
In addition the the Heath Center programs and services, there are a number of groups, clubs, and organizations that enrich student life and help new people make friends here. To find out about them, attend the First Look Fair, held on McKeldin Mall every fall, or STAMP Fest, held in the Adele H. Stamp Student Union each Spring. You can also visit www.stars.umd.edu for a complete listing of student organizations.
