UMGC Virtual Advising

The University of Maryland Global Campus understands that in uncertain times, Montgomery College students should still be able to achieve their educational and career aspirations.  While we can’t physically be there to meet with those that need transfer advising, we are here for you virtually.  Make an appointment today by talking with your MC Academic Adviser or by emailing UMGC directly at cctransfer@umgc.edu.  Our specialist Wyatt Unger will gladly speak with you about the Completion Scholarship we have for MC graduates.  Appointments are available Tuesdays from 9:30-4:30 P.M., and Wednesdays from 9:30-12:30 P.M.

UMUC - Admission of F-1 Students

Effective December 14, 2009, University of Maryland University College (UMUC) stopped issuing I-20s to students who have or are seeking F-1 visas. This was adopted because the university’s online learning environment was not conducive to students on F-1 status, who must satisfy on-site registration and attendance requirements.

The International Student Advising (ISA) office will continue to fulfill all reporting requirements in SEVIS related to students who have gained full admission to UMUC and were issued I-20s prior to the effective date.

If you have any questions, please contact ISA at (240) 684-2116 or ISA@umuc.edu. .

UMUC Alliance Application Changes

UMUC has done away with the paper MC/UMUC Alliance Application and has improved their e-application to meet the needs of these students. Please have interested students fill out the e-application if they wish to enter the alliance. For even more information, check out the transfer blog.

PS: May the force be with you!
