Transfer Admission process: To apply for admission, you'll complete the Transfer Common Application and provide your official transcripts from all colleges/universities you have attended Letters of recommendation are optional, and you can submit up to two. Full details about applying for transfer are on our Transfer Admissions site.

Official transcripts can be ordered and sent to us through the Common App or sent by your current/previously attended school(s) to us directly. If sending to us directly, your electronic transcript should be directed to UMBC Undergraduate Admissions at admissions@umbc.edu.
About 2-3 business days after you submit the Common Application, you'll receive an email with your UMBC campus ID and myUMBC account activation link. You'll be able to check your application status from there, and once your application has been reviewed, you can access your decision letter there as well.

The priority deadline to apply for [Fall/Spring] admission is March 1/October 15th. This is a hard deadline if you would like to be considered for transfer merit scholarships, but I encourage you to submit your Transfer Common Application and transcripts earlier than that deadline if you intend to apply for additional scholarships using Scholarship Retriever.

Visit us on campus!: We have weekly tours and open houses. Coming to campus is a great way to get a feel for our great community. https://undergraduate.umbc.edu/events/category/campus-tour/
