Helpful Reminders

  • Be Respectful: The University for Seniors Program is committed to providing program participants with a safe and respectful learning environment. Whether in-person or online, program participants are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that is both respectful and civil of others while being engaging and open to ideas and diverse points of view. 
  • Name Badges: Please wear your name badge for your on-campus classes. If you need a new or replacement name badge, there is a sign-up sheet on the table outside Kirby Plaza 303. A new badge will be made and placed on the table within one week.
  • Accessible Seating: Please leave the end table closest to the classroom doors in Kirby Plaza 309 and 311 open for those with limited mobility. They are marked with a reserved sign.
  • Classroom noise: Please remember to silence your cell phones if you are attending classes on campus. If you are attending online study groups, please remain muted unless you wish to share.
  • Food Policy: Please remember there is no food allowed in the classrooms on campus. This is a UMD campus-wide policy. Drinks are acceptable in covered containers.
  • Stay Healthy: If you are ill, we ask that you do not come to campus. Let the program office know you will be missing your classes and we can mark you excused. If you develop symptoms while on campus, we encourage you to grab a face mask from the Hub office (Kirby Plaza 305). Tissues and hand-sanitizer are provided in each classroom.
