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

|
| Q: | If I am admitted to WWCC, am I automatically admitted to UMUC? | |
| A: | No, you must complete the UMUC Admission Application. Once you are admitted to UMUC, you may be dually enrolled at both UMUC and the community college. | |
| 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 WWCC 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 WWCC to send academic transcripts to UMUC? | |
| A: | Yes. If you are admitted to the alliance, send an official WWCC 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 WWCC coursework. | |
| Q: | Is there a fee to send my transcript? | |
| A: | No. WWCC 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 WWCC first. WWCC 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 WWCC academic advisor can help you select the most appropriate classes to complete your associate's degree and to transfer to UMUC. | |
| Q: | If I am currently enrolled at UMUC, may I take additional courses from WWCC through the alliance? | |
| A: | Whether you may take additional courses from WWCC 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 WWCC for additional credit. | |
| Q: | Which school will be awarding my degree? | |
| A: | WWCC 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 WWCC only, WWCC 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 WWCC to UMUC. Please inform your financial aid office at WWCC 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 WWCC? | |
| A: | You will need to pay your WWCC tuition costs at WWCC. 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 WWCC. Contact a UMUC advisor to initiate the consortium agreement. | |
| Q: | If I am an Alliance student and want to take courses at UMUC and WWCC 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 WWCC. Your advisor will also initiate a financial aid consortium agreement between UMUC and WWCC. You must supply verification of enrollment at WWCC, 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 WWCC or UMUC. | |
| Q: | Which institution will handle my paperwork? | |
| A: | While you are taking courses from WWCC only, WWCC 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. From then on, your benefits will be processed through UMUC only, even if you take more courses at WWCC. | |
