Non-U.S. Degrees
To be considered for admission, non-U.S. degree students must present official documents indicating successful completion of the equivalent of a regionally accredited U.S. bachelor’s degree.

Applicants educated in countries other than the United States must have their official transcripts evaluated by an independent evaluation service for a fee. The evaluation company will send a copy of the evaluation both to the applicant and to UMUC-Europe. For a transcript evaluation, students should contact directly one of the following independent companies, not affiliated with UMUC:

1. American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO)

Proof of English Proficiency
Applicants who have not received a bachelor’s degree from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Commonwealth Caribbean, or English-speaking Canada must demonstrate English proficiency by submitting a minimum score of 580 on the written examination (or 237 on the computer-based version) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and a minimum score of 5 on the Test of Written English (TWE) to be eligible for admission. Applicants must arrange to have official score reports sent directly from the testing agency to UMUC-Europe. Test scores must be less than two years old. The TOEFL school code for UMUC-Europe is 0715.

International applicants may register for only one course while awaiting the official transcript evaluation and official TOEFL and the TWE.

Merely providing these documents does not ensure admission. An interview may also be required. Official transcript evaluation from the aforementioned independent companies must be submitted and evaluated before admission is considered.

Restrictions
Students may be admitted to only one institution in the University System of Maryland at any one time. Students may be admitted as either graduates or undergraduates, but no one may hold both classifications simultaneously. A student’s most recent application for admission invalidates any previous admission.

Students may be admitted to only one graduate program at any time. Application for admission to a second graduate program is not permitted until notification of resignation has been presented to the first program. Students admitted to any other graduate program in the University System of Maryland must notify UMUC-Europe. Students retain active status for one year even without being registered in the program. However, after one year without a completed graduate course, students must submit a new application along with another application fee.

Note: Graduate students may take both graduate and undergraduate courses concurrently.
