All orders placed and approved on or before Wednesday, Nov. 18 will be installed in XFINITY Center prior to the start of basketball season. Cutouts will continue to be installed periodically throughout the season!

Maryland Athletics wants to ensure a seamless experience with the Terrapin Cutouts program for all of our fans. Prior to reading through the FAQ, please make sure to read and review the Terrapin Cutouts photo submission guidelines (PDF) as well as the steps listed above this section. If you still have questions after reviewing the photo submission guidelines and the FAQ, please reach out to mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu.
What is the difference between a standard and a premium cutout?
A premium cutout ($75) includes priority placement in the stands and will be signed by your choice of Coach Turgeon or Coach Frese prior to return at the end of the season. A standard cutout ($55) does not include priority seating or an autograph.
I’m a Terrapin Club donor - do I receive a discount on my cutout?
Yes! All Terrapin Club donors will receive an email with a special link for discounted Terrapin Cutouts. Please purchase your cutout through that link to receive the discounted rate. If you have any issues, please email mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu.
I just purchased my Terrapin Cutout. When should I expect to receive the email with the link to submit my photo?
Fans will first receive a confirmation email directly after purchase, and then they will receive a separate email at noon ET the day after purchase with a link to the photo submission form. Please note that your confirmation email is not the email that will contain the photo submission form link, but it does include an Order ID that is needed to submit your photo later. If you do not receive the email the following day, please check your spam folder as well as all pre-categorized folders (Gmail users, please make sure to check the “Promotions” folder). If your email is still not there after 24 hours, please reach out to mdsportsmarketing@umd.edu, and we will be happy to help you out.
Can I place more than one order for a Terrapin Cutout?
Yes! You may place more than one order for a Terrapin Cutout. If you would like to order multiple cutouts, Maryland Athletics recommends that you order them at the same time. However, you can place as many separate orders as you’d like.
How many cutouts can I purchase in one single transaction?
You may purchase up to four cutouts per transaction. After that, you will need to place an additional, separate order.
Does my purchase cover the whole season or one game?
Terrapin Cutouts will remain in the stands for the entire basketball season.
Are there any restrictions to the photo I upload?
Yes. Photos must be Maryland-related, in good taste and not of a commercial nature. Fans may not submit photos of celebrities or other public figures. Maryland Athletics reserves the right to reject any photo that does not abide by the photo submission guidelines, at its sole discretion. Fans will be notified if their photo is rejected and given an opportunity to resubmit if there is appropriate time prior to the deadline, but Maryland Athletics will not be obligated to provide the purchaser a refund if a submitted photo is rejected for any reason.
Can two people be in one photo?
Only 1 person per photo. Photos with multiple people will be rejected.
I’m trying to complete the photo upload form, but I cannot find my customer number. Where can I find this information?
Fans can find their customer number on the confirmation email they receive from terptix@umd.edu directly after purchase.
I uploaded the wrong photo, can I upload a new one?
No; please ensure that the photo you upload not only meets all of our guidelines, but that it is also the photo you will be happy with all season long. The only instance that you will be able to resubmit a photo is if Maryland Athletics reaches out to you directly due to issues with your initial submission.
Will I be refunded if my photo is not approved?
We will do our best to ensure you are given the opportunity to submit a new photo if your initial submission is rejected, but we cannot guarantee you will receive a refund should your photo be rejected.
Will I know where my cutout is placed?
Yes! Prior to the first home game, Maryland Athletics will upload photos of cutouts to Facebook. The photos will be broken down by section. We cannot accommodate specific seat requests.
If I purchase more than one cutout will they be placed next to each other?
While we cannot guarantee exact locations, we will do our best to seat multiple submissions together.
If I miss the Wednesday, Nov. 18 deadline, can I still order a Terrapin Cutout?
Yes, all fans will be able to continue to place orders past Nov. 18. Cutouts will be installed periodically throughout the season based upon order date.
Can I have my cutout at the end of the season?
Yes! You will have an option to receive your cutout after the season has concluded. Please note, we cannot guarantee the condition of your cutout. You will be contacted at the email address provided when uploading your photo. Cutouts will only be available for pickup; no cutouts will be mailed or delivered. At that time, further details for pickup and specific instructions will be communicated to fans who purchased cutouts.
If you ordered a premium cutout, it will be signed by your choice of Coach Turgeon or Coach Frese prior to being available for pickup.

What if the season gets canceled?
All payments made to purchase cutouts are final and such payments shall not be refunded for any reason, including, but not limited to, the delay, suspension, cancellation, or early termination of the 2020-21 season.
