Transfer Students
Transfer students play a pivotal role on campus, offering perspective from their college studies so far, along with a diversity of backgrounds, geographic origins and personal experiences. Want to be part of this mix?If you’ve graduated from high school and completed a minimum of 12 semester hours or 18 quarter hours at a regionally accredited college or university, we consider you a transfer applicant. Students who complete fewer than 30 semester or 45 quarter hours are expected to submit high school records and SAT and/or ACT scores for review. If you’ve attended more than one institution, we’ll compute a cumulative average for all previous college work.
We’ll consider your academic record and grades received in all college-level courses. You should complete English composition (the equivalent of UMD’s ENGL 101) and college-level math (the equivalent of UMD’s Math 110 or above) before you submit your application.

Transfer students are high school graduates who completed at least 12 semester hours or 18 quarter hours at a regionally accredited college or university.
