International Transfer Courses

Beginning Fall 2018

All degree-seeking undergraduate applicants for admission to the University of Maryland for Fall 2018 or after are required to submit an official credential evaluation for ALL international post-secondary transcripts from one of the two evaluators:

• ECE (Educational Credential Evaluators)
  www.ece.org/ECE/Individuals/Education-Reports
  Course-by-course evaluation of post-secondary/university coursework, including: grade point average calculation and upper division course designation
• Josef Silny & Associates
  Application form: http://www.transfercredit.umd.edu/silnyform.pdf
  Course-by-course evaluation of post-secondary/university coursework, including: grade point average calculation and upper division course designation for students with more than 1 year of post-secondary/university education completed.

To ensure all transfer courses the student completed will be posted to the student’s University of Maryland record, a FINAL official transcript in the original-language and a literal (exact) certified English translation must be submitted to the University of Maryland after all coursework has been completed.

On occasion, a student may be required to provide an updated official credential evaluation. This would be in cases (not limited to):

• when the student earned a bachelor’s degree since the credential evaluation
• a significant number of coursework was completed that is not listed on the credential evaluation
• there are discrepancies between the transcripts provided to the credential evaluator and the University of Maryland
