Want to become a Terp? Each year, hundreds of students successfully transfer from AACC to University of Maryland College Park.

Transfer credits to UMD

AACC works closely with UMD to offer graduates a seamless transfer process. UMD has a dedicated pre-transfer advisor on the Arnold campus to speak with students and help them plan their transfer path! Current students can apply to the Maryland Transfer Advantage Program (MTAP) for additional savings on UMD tuition. Because admission to the University of Maryland, College Park may be competitive, UMD's Office of Undergraduate Admission will retain the final authority in all admission decision.
