This was my child a few years ago. It would mean you are admitted for the spring semester. You can attend evening classes in the fall and live on campus if you want to, or you can just wait and come in the spring. My child declined but a few of her friends went that route. The cynical take is that these are students UMD wants, but it admits them in the spring so their stats don’t count for UMD rankings.

W school: CS major but admitted Freshman Connection - so no CS.

3.87 uw
4.81 w

I think it is high. Many instate kids decline. My kid and many of their friends will decline.

yeah same here.. on the spring 2027 tab it says incomplete.. but fall 2026, no button

We had that and letter finally loaded with accepted for Spring 2027? Very confused.

this means your kid didn't get in to fall 2027 - this is what is known as Freshman Connection

They consider without additional application/essay
