Become A Member

Attention parents of entering freshmen (Class of 2012): We appreciate your interest in the Maryland Parents Association; however, we are unable to activate your membership until after your son or daughter registers for fall semester (2008) classes. Please do not complete this form. You will have the opportunity to activate your membership during orientation this summer. For more information about orientation, visit www.orientation.umd.edu.

We want to stay connected to you!

The University does maintain a database of our students' permanent addresses; however, we want to develop a more personal relationship directly with you. If you are the parent or guardian of a currently enrolled student at the University, please activate your membership in the Maryland Parents Association by completing the fields below. Once we receive your information we will send a welcome packet to your home via postal mail.

Please note that the Office of Parent and Family Affairs maintains strict control over access to information in our database. While your contact information may be shared with members of the Parent Advisory Council or a University office or department affiliated with your student, the information we request from you will never be shared with or distributed to anyone outside of the University.
