Now let's get started-Apply Online! (https://my.umuc.edu)

• Once you submit, you will be charged a $50 non-refundable admissions fee.

Who should apply:

• New students
• Students who have not registered for classes at UMUC in the past two years

Please Note:

• Students relocating from UMUC-Asia or UMUC-Europe must complete the Relocation Request Form rather than an Undergraduate Application for Admission.
  
  
• Non-U.S. citizens and foreign-educated students should refer to the International Students and International Credit Evaluation Services pages.

STEP 3: REQUEST OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS

Official transcripts are not required at the time of admission to UMUC but need to arrive at least by the end of the first semester of attendance. You can use a personal letter or the transcript request form to have your transcripts sent directly here. If you live in the area, hand-carried transcripts in a sealed envelope also are accepted as official. It is your responsibility to confirm that your records have arrived.

Credit toward a UMUC degree may be assigned from a variety of external sources, including coursework completed at other institutions or through the military. See Transfer Credit Information for more details.

STEP 4: REGISTER FOR YOUR CLASSES
