My DS20 was accepted in January and had already made his deposit for Fall 20. Does anyone know if UMD reaches out to the parents of the accepted student? I have seen several posts that it might go to the student and not to the parent. I have been checking my email each day and have not received anything whatsoever. Wondering if it is worth making a call to the Admissions office.

Most topics are communicated to student in their portal.
There are parent events at Orientation, too.

We know a lot of kids at UMD and based on their parents' experience (especially at orientation), parents should start cutting the cord from their child. (This is a good thing!)
Congrats to your DS!
