| Q: | How do I participate in the CC–UMUC alliance? | |

If you present at least 24 semester hours of transferable college credit, you are not required to submit official high school transcripts or GED scores. |
|
| Q: | If I am admitted to CC, am I automatically admitted to UMUC? | |
| A: | No, you must complete the alliance application form, and meet the UMUC admission criteria at the time of your application to be admitted to 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. Your admission is for 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 CC tuition or UMUC tuition? | |
| A: | You will pay the tuition and fees charged by the institution offering the course in which you are enrolling. | |

| A: | You may use your tuition remission only at the institution at which you are employed. | |
| Q: | If I am a senior citizen, may I get my tuition waived at either institution in the alliance? | |

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 CC to send academic transcripts to UMUC? | |
| A: | Yes. If you are admitted to the alliance, send an official CC transcript 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 CC coursework. | |
| Q: | Is there a fee to send my transcript? | |
| A: | No. CC does not charge for transcripts. | |
| Q: | Must I complete my associate’s degree before enrolling at UMUC? | |
| A: | No. However, it may be to your advantage to complete your associate’s degree at CC first. CC 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: | Who do I see for academic advising? | |
| A: | Your CC academic advisor can help you select the most appropriate classes to complete your associate's degree and to transfer to UMUC.
The UMUC representative is available at CC campus on alternating Mondays. Please contact CC advising office for dates and times at 410-822-5400. |
|
| Q: | If I am currently enrolled at UMUC, may I take additional courses from CC through the alliance? | |
| A: | Whether you may take additional courses from CC 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 CC for additional credit. | |
| Q: | Which school will be awarding my degree? | |
| A: | CC 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 CC only, CC 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 CC to UMUC. Please inform your financial aid office at CC 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 CC? | |
| A: | You will need to pay your CC tuition costs at CC. 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 CC. Contact a UMUC advisor to initiate the consortium agreement. | |
| Q: | If I am an Alliance student and want to take courses at UMUC and CC 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 CC. Your advisor will also initiate a financial aid consortium agreement between UMUC and CC. You must supply verification of enrollment at CC, the completed letter of permission, and the signed consortium agreement to UMUC’s Financial Aid Office. | |
VETERANS BENEFITS |

| Q: | If I am eligible for educational benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, may I use them at either institution in the Alliance? | |
| A: | Yes. You may use your veterans benefits at either CC or UMUC. | |
| Q: | Which institution will handle my paperwork? | |
| A: | While you are taking courses from CC only, CC will process your veterans benefits. As soon as you plan to register for your first class at UMUC, you must complete a Request for Change of Program or Place of Training Form and a UMUC Veterans Certification Form.
