| A: | Yes. Your information will be entered into the databases at both AACC and UMUC. | |
| Q: | If I am admitted to UMUC through the Alliance, am I also admitted to other University System of Maryland (USM) institutions? | |
| A: | No. The dual admission applies to UMUC only. Other USM institutions require a separate application for admission. | |
REGISTRATION |
||
| Q: | Where do I register for classes? | |
| A: | You will register through the registration system of the institution offering the course in which you are enrolling. | |
| Q: | Do I pay AACC tuition or UMUC tuition? | |
| A: | You will pay the tuition and fees charged by the institution offering the course in which you are enrolling. | |

DEGREE PROGRAMS |
||
| Q: | Which degree programs are linked in this Alliance? | |
| A: | See Linked Associate's to Bachelor's Degree Programs | |
| Q: | How many credits may I transfer to UMUC? | |
| A: | UMUC accepts up to 90 credits in transfer from all collegiate schools attended including applicable military credit. Students transferring from a Maryland community college may transfer up to 70 credit hours of applicable credit towards a bachelor's degree. Students are encouraged to complete an associate's degree at their community college and speak with a UMUC representative at their community college campus. | |
| Q: | Do I need to ask AACC to send academic transcripts to UMUC? | |
| A: | Yes. If you are admitted to the Alliance, you are encouraged to arrange to have your electronic transcripts sent from AACC to UMUC for the purpose of advising or transfer evaluation. You may choose to have transcripts sent either at the end of each semester or after you complete all of your AACC coursework. | |
| Q: | Is there a fee to send my transcript? | |
| A: | No. Alliance students who request official transcripts to be sent the electronic transfer exchange are not charged a fee. | |
| Q: | Must I complete my associate’s degree before enrolling at UMUC? | |
| A: | No. It may be to your advantage to complete your associate’s degree at AACC first, however. AACC graduates have found the associate’s degree useful in obtaining jobs or promotions while continuing to pursue a bachelor’s degree. If you have your associate’s degree, you may be eligible for the Maryland Community College Scholarship. | |
| Q: | Can I earn credit for prior learning? | |
| A: | Yes. Alliance students have the opportunity to earn credit for college-level learning gained through life and work experience. For information about this program, contact UMUC's Prior Learning office at 800-888-UMUC ext 2860. |
|
| Q: | Whom do I see for academic advising? | |
| A: | Currently, AACC counselors will advise on degree requirements for your associate’s degree. Talk with a UMUC advisor about which courses will transfer from AACC and which courses are required for the bachelor’s degree at UMUC. A UMUC representative is available at the AACC Arnold campus on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. or you may meet with a UMUC representative at the new Dorsey Station, AACC at Arundel Mills, or Ft. Meade (if you have base access). | |
| Q: | If I am currently enrolled at UMUC, may I take additional courses from AACC through the Alliance? | |
| A: | Whether you may take additional courses from AACC through the Alliance will depend on the number of credits originally transferred to UMUC from a community college. Check with a UMUC advisor before deciding to return to AACC for additional credit. | |
| Q: | Which school will be awarding my degree? | |
| A: | AACC will award associate’s degrees and UMUC will award bachelor’s degrees. | |
FINANCIAL AID |
||
| Q: | If I apply for financial aid, which school issues it? | |
| A: | While you attend AACC only, AACC issues your financial aid. As soon as you plan to register for your first class at UMUC, you must reapply for financial aid through UMUC and have your financial aid transcripts sent from AACC to UMUC. You should also inform your financial aid office at AACC of your plans to begin courses at UMUC. To complete the financial aid process with UMUC, please click on http://www.umuc.edu/students/fincaid.shtml | |
| Q: | Will my financial aid from UMUC pay for courses at AACC? | |
| A: | You will need to pay your AACC tuition costs at AACC. However, the amount of financial aid disbursed to you through UMUC will be based on your enrollment at both schools if you have completed a financial aid consortium agreement between UMUC and AACC. Contact a UMUC advisor to initiate the consortium agreement. | |
| Q: | If I am an Alliance student and want to take courses at UMUC and AACC in the same semester, what steps do I need to take to obtain a consortium agreement? | |
| A: | Contact a UMUC advisor and ask for a letter of permission to take courses at AACC. Your advisor will also initiate a financial aid consortium agreement between UMUC and AACC. You must supply verification of enrollment at AACC, the completed letter of permission, and the signed consortium agreement to UMUC’s Financial Aid Office. | |
VETERANS BENEFITS |

| A: | Yes. You may use your veterans benefits at either AACC or UMUC. | |
| Q: | Which institution will handle my paperwork? | |
| A: | While you are taking courses from AACC only, AACC will process your veterans benefits.

From then on, your benefits will be processed through UMUC only, even if you take more courses at AACC. | |
