Application Requirements for Transfer Students

The Admissions Committee evaluates transfer applicants on the basis of their academic record at previous institutions. Cumulative grade point average, performance trends, strength of curriculum and performance in courses related to the intended area of study are considered.

Transfer applicants must be eligible to return to their most recent institution. For transfer applicants with fewer than 30 college-level credits, your high school record and SAT or ACT scores are also required.

Candidates for transfer admission must submit the following:

  • A completed UMBC Undergraduate Admissions Application
