Pre-Admission Transfer Advising

Welcome to the Pre-Transfer Advising Program at the University of Maryland*

The Pre-Transfer Advising program provides support to prospective transfer students by assessing their readiness to transfer to the University of Maryland and estimating their time to degree completion. Pre-Transfer Advisors provide advising to students from community colleges and four year schools. Advisors also work closely with staff at the Maryland community colleges. 

Pre-Transfer Advisors can help students:

  • Determine how transfer courses will apply to UM degrees
  • Identify remaining UM general education and major requirements
  • Locate specific resources to receive additional assistance

Prospective transfer students can receive advising assistance via the following methods:

  • 15 minute Walk In Advising Appointments* (Monday & Thursday: 1:30pm – 4:00pm)
  • 30 minute Advising Appointments* (AIM, In Person, Telephone)
  • Email (transferadvising@umd.edu)
  • Scheduled Community College Visits
  • Telephone (301.405.9448 and 301.405.9449)
