• UMGC shall accept eligible students (“eligible students”) who have attended or graduated from the accredited WCC with an Associate’s Degree, if the students complete and submit UMGC’s application for admission, have met UMGC’s admission criteria, and are not otherwise disqualified by federal or state law, or any policy of UMGC or the University System of Maryland (“USM”).
• Students may be allowed to apply for simultaneous admission to WCC and UMGC.
• UMGC will grant prospective students from WCC a tentative evaluation of all transfer credits within 1-3 business days.

Credit granted for prior learning is subject to any expiration dates established by the learning provider.
