Do "D" Grades Transfer to Maryland Public Schools?

The answer is usually "no". Keep in mind that majors with competitive requirements (e.g., nursing, business, etc.) may have a "minimum B" or "min. C" requirement for specific courses. Also, grades of 'D' pull down your overall GPA.

However, under some circumstances the 'D' will be accepted. Here is the response from the Maryland Higher Education Commission Student Guide to Transfer

"'D' grades will be accepted in transfer if the Maryland public college to which you are applying also accepts a 'D' for native students. A 'D' grade earned in a general education course that meets a general education requirement at a sending institution, which has designated that course as meeting a general education requirement, will transfer and meet a general education requirement at the receiving institution."
