Community College Alliance Program

Transfer with ease to UMUC

Especially designed for community college students just starting coursework toward an associate's degree, the Alliance program provides one curriculum plan for earning an associate's degree and a UMUC bachelor's degree seamlessly. UMUC will accept up to 70 applicable community college credits from a participating in-state or out-of-state community college. Now, you can  transfer with peace of mind, knowing your hard-earned credits will transfer to UMUC. Also as an alliance student, you can enjoy these benefits:

  • Waiver of UMUC's $50 admission application fee*
  • Dual enrollment options at your community college and UMUC
  • Scholarship opportunities for community college graduates
  • Access to the extensive University System of Maryland library, tutoring, writing assistance, career counseling, computer labs, and more
  • Receive UMUC transfer advising directly at your community college campus
  • Easily apply online with the e-application

* The application fee can only be waived for community college students who have not yet completed an associate's degree.
