Discontinued Use of the University of Maryland Core Sheet from the MC Transfer Website

Dear Colleagues,

 

After discussion Anne Schleicher and I have decided it is best to stop using the University of Maryland Core sheet that has been developed for use with students who started college prior to fall 2012.  We are now advising students who started college in fall 2012 to complete our general education program and use the chart on the MC Transfer website http://cms.montgomerycollege.edu/EDU/Plain.aspx?id=44793.   The chart is titled

“Catalog Year 2013 - 2014 - For students starting MC Fall 2013 and after (.pdf) Word”

 

For students who started college before fall 2012 it is easiest to also have them follow this same chart but to be sure to advise them they must complete either a history or literature course for a humanities distribution for transfer.

 

It is less confusing for the students to use the MC general education chart especially since some of the courses on the Core sheet are not included on our distribution course lists and therefore a student may take a course that transfers but does not count for graduation here at MC.  We want to lessen confusion regarding graduation requirements and promote completions.

 

Please remove all the UM Core sheets from the Counseling/Advising and Career Transfer Centers and make sure you have printed copies of the general education chart.  I have also attached a copy of the chart for your convenience.   Thanks for all of your assistance in assuring that students get the correct transfer information.
