Hey, I'm thinking of transferring to the University of Maryland - College Park, and was wondering when their transfer application deadline is? I couldn't find this information on their website and I want to get a head start on the application process. Thanks for any info you got!
Hey there! The University of Maryland - College Park typically has two transfer application deadlines. For students aiming to enroll in the Fall semester, the deadline is usually March 1st, while those looking to enroll in the Spring semester will need to submit their application by August 1st. While these are officially just the early action transfer deadlines, UMD strongly encourages potential transfer students to submit their applications by these dates to receive priority consideration for admission.
It's a great idea to get a head start on the application process well before these deadlines, though. Transferring can be a bit more complex since you're dealing with different institutions and their respective credit transfer policies. It's important to research which courses and credits can be transferred, as well as any additional requirements for your intended major. Also, gather any necessary materials such as transcripts, test scores, and recommendation letters well in advance to avoid last-minute stress.
Good luck with your transfer application!
