Transfer admission to the University of Maryland has become increasingly competitive. They have received over 7000 applications for a transfer class of 1900 for Fall 2009. The Admissions Committee considers each application for transfer admission individually, reviewing the student's academic record, grades received in all college-level courses, and the rigor of the student's academic program. Completion of Fundamental Studies English and mathematics is critical for all transfer applicants.

The application deadline for Spring 2010 tranfer admission is November 15, 2009. Because admission has become so competitive and space is limited you students are encouraged to apply BEFORE the deadline. The Admissions office has already begun reviewing applications for the Spring 2010 semester and plan to release their first batch of transfer admission decisions by the third week of September.

The international student deadline and students holding F-1 or J-1 Visa needed to apply by August 1st.
