MC Guide - Applying to UM

 Hello Everyone –

‘Tis the season – students are starting to ask about how to apply to UM for next Fall 2021.  This “MC Transfer Planning Guide:  Completing Your Transfer Application to UM College Park or Shady Grove Campus” has just been updated.  

The Guide is saved to the Counseling One Drive under: Counseling (CW) Discpline - Documents\Advising Docs\Transfer

Highlights to note:

1.      While UM will be giving Freshmen a choice to apply to UM through either the Coalition Application or the Common Application, TRANSFER students are to use the MyCoalition Application only.

2.      UM now calls their Priority Deadline an “Early Action Deadline” – but the dates are the same, Early Action Deadlines are March 1 for Fall, August 1 for Spring

Hopefully you will review this Guide to update yourself on other important topics like…

• ·Proof of English Proficiency – it’s not just an associate’s degree!
• · The Correct Two International Credit Evaluation Companies accepted by UM (hint, WES is not one of them L)
• ·Recommendations, required or not?
• · The process to request a fee waiver
• ·And other trick questions that students will surely ask!

This page is not located on the MC webpage because it is not an “Official” guide but please feel free to send it to students who ask “How do I apply to Maryland?”
