129.0 V-5.00-POLICY ON STUDENT HOUSING
(Approved by the Board of Regents on January 11, 1990)
Student Accommodations
The primary purpose of residence halls at institutions of
the University of Maryland System is to provide housing for
undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at such
institutions. Residence hall accommodations shall be assigned in
conformity with priorities established by each institution.
Non-Discrimination in Off-Campus Housing
Each institution may assist students, faculty, and staff in
locating off-campus housing by maintaining a list of available
off-campus housing facilities. No institution shall list the
availability of an off-campus housing facility unless the owner
makes such facility available to students in conformity with all
pertinent federal and State laws on nondiscrimination in housing.
Residential Fire Safety
Each institution shall provide to students information on
fire safety, appropriate to both on-campus and off-campus
housing, as a part of the orientation program for new students.
Notices shall be posted in appropriate places at each institution
reminding students to be conscious of residential fire safety.
No institution shall list or provide information on available
off-campus housing unless the owner affirms annually in writing
that the facility is in compliance with all applicable fire
safety codes. The institution shall keep the written
verification on file in the institution's housing office.
