When the number of students desiring admission exceeds the number that can be accommodated in a particular professional or specialized program, admission will be based on criteria developed by the university to select the best qualified students. Articulated transfer programs are available at each Maryland community college. An articulated transfer program is a list of courses that best prepare applicants for a particular course of study at the university of Maryland. Applicants who take appropriate courses specified in the articulated program and earn acceptable grades are guaranteed transfer with no loss of credit. Articulated transfer programs help students plan their new programs after changing career objectives.
Applicants can eliminate all doubt concerning transfer of courses by following articulated programs.
Admitted students will receive a preliminary review of transfer credit within two weeks after receiving the letter of admission. Students are required to complete at least their final 30 credits at Maryland to earn a Maryland degree. The Transfer Credit Center provides articulation information and assistance to students and transfer advisers. The Center, a joint effort between the Offices of Undergraduate Admissions and Records and Registration, has computerized and consolidated the transfer credit evaluation process. It provides incoming students from domestic institutions with information on acceptability of credits and transfer equivalencies, subject to adjustment by advisers within the student's individual program.
