STEP 3: SEND YOUR OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT(S) TO UMUC

  • Official transcripts are not required at the time of admission, but need to arrive before the end of your first semester of attendance.

  • If you are requesting an electronic transcript be sent directly to UMUC from your previous institution, please have them sent to undergradrecords@umuc.edu.

If you live in the area, hand-carried transcripts in a sealed envelope are also accepted as official.

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.
