To receive credit for previous academic study, undergraduate students will need to submit official transcripts to University of Maryland Global Campus. We ask that you send official transcripts from all institutions you previously attended, including high school, any colleges, military records, and appropriate documentation for college-level exams (e.g. CLEP, DSST, AP, etc.), industry certifications, professional courses, and vocational and technical training. Graduate students must send a transcript indicating completion of at least a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited degree-granting university or college.
To be accepted as official, a transcript must come from the issuing institution in either a sealed, unopened envelope or via an accepted secure electronic delivery method. UMGC cannot accept official transcripts via fax or email, regardless of the source.
Please contact the previous institutions you have attended and request your transcripts be sent to UMGC.
Submit Electronically (Preferred)
UMGC participates with several electronic transcript networks. Whenever possible, UMGC prefers to receive transcripts electronically through a secure delivery method only. Check with your prior institution to determine if they participate in any of the following networks to deliver transcripts through a secure format. If a "send-to" e-mail address is required, please use studentrecords@umgc.edu.

Military Transcripts
To gain the most from your transfer credits, you need to request your military transcripts and have them evaluated by University of Maryland Global Campus. In addition, supporting documents are sometimes needed.
Being proactive with your military transcripts and other documentation helps you enroll in the right classes for your first semester. Many branches of the military offer direct ways to submit transcripts.

You should also submit Military Occupational Specialty and copies of non-commissioned officer enlisted evaluations.
