Transfer Students

Transfer Student Criteria for All Majors

There are two types of transfer students: internal (meaning current UMCP students) and external (meaning non-UMCP students from in or out of state). Transfer students are directly admitted to the Clark School on a space available basis if they:

• meet the Gateway requirements, MATH 141, PHYS 161, and CHEM 113 or CHEM 135 with a grade of 2.0 or better,
• have completed Fundamental Studies English,
• have completed at least one Distributive Studies course from the humanities or social sciences,
• have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0, and
• have not previously been admitted to the Clark School of Engineering.

Only one repeat of a single course in the set of Gateway courses, either at the University of Maryland or at any other University or College, is allowed. A course in which the student receives a grade of 'W' (Withdraw) is counted as an attempt.

Students with transfer credits from other institutions are encouraged to visit the university's Transfer Credit Center, which facilitates the evaluation of transfer credits and provides information on those course equivalencies, credit reports, and articulation tables.
