UMCP - Transfer Deadline Update
The regular application deadline for Spring 2011 transfer admission is November 15, 2010. Because admission is competitive and space is limited, you are encouraged to apply before or by the deadline.
Applications for Spring 2011 admission are already being reviewed. Students who have met the August 1 priority deadline can expect to hear their decision in the first week of October. Transfer admission decisions will be released in batches. Therefore, applicants who complete their applications by the regular deadline will receive their decisions in mid-December.
Transfer admission to the University of Maryland is increasingly competitive. Over 7000 applications for a transfer class of 1750 was received for Fall 2010. The Admission 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 strongly recommended for all transfer applicants.

Questions We Hear from Fall 2010 Transfer Hopefuls
“Is it TOO LATE?” and “I haven’t HEARD yet!”
Current Montgomery College students hoping to transfer to a four-year institution next Fall 2010 may find that it IS too late to begin an application to some schools. Many schools have a preferred transfer deadline of March 1, 2010 for a Fall transfer. Even when a school’s website says “Final deadline: June 1”, the critical question is whether spaces are still available. Schools often consider applications in the order that they were received. To answer the question “Is it TOO LATE?” you’ll need to pick up the phone and call a school’s admissions office. Ask to speak to someone who specializes in transfer admissions, and be specific: “I have 47 credits completed at MC and a GPA of 2.93 – is your school still admitting transfer students for Fall 2010?” The answer could be yes, but do call to see whether it’s worth your time and effort to complete an application.
“I haven’t HEARD yet!”
If you applied for transfer admission more than 3 weeks ago and you haven’t heard anything, take the following steps:
1) Check the online application system at the school to be sure all of your materials have been received: Application / Transcript from MC showing your current grades / High School transcript & SAT scores IF the school asked you to provide them (usually if you had less than 30 credits on your MC transcript) If everything seems to have been received, and you haven’t heard anything by e-mail or letter, CALL the Admissions Office directly.
2) If the school is waiting for your final transcript, be sure that you’ve sent your request to MC and marked the box “Hold for Final Grades”. You can do this NOW. Many transfer institutions are waiting to see a final transcript from Spring 2010 in order to make a decision on your admission.
