UMB School of Nursing English Proficiency

Students applying to the University of Maryland, School of Nursing (UMB SON) must show proof of graduation to demonstrate their English Language Proficiency.  

However, for students who are in the process of graduating, UMB is willing to accept a statement from an MC Counselor that the degree is in progress and they waive the need for TOEFL scores or their own English Language Proficiency Exam.  A sample e-mail is below, including the address to use for an e-mailed statement.

Dear Ms. Ellis and UMB Nursing Admissions Committee Members,

I am working with Montgomery College student XXX XXX, DOB 12/19/1992 who is in the process of applying for transfer admission to UMB for Spring 2021. 

Ms. XXX has been asked for verification that she will be graduating from Montgomery College to demonstrate her English proficiency; here is information from MC’s Student Information System (BANNER) that shows that her Graduation Application has been submitted and I am verifying that she will meet all of the requirements for graduation from Montgomery College upon completion of her classes this Fall 2020.    [

In the record below, you can see that her Graduation Status is marked “Pending” for 12/20/2020.   [Insert PrintScreen of Banner SHADEGR below signature]

Thank you for your help in processing her application!
