Transcripts
Official transcripts are required. A PDF of the unofficial transcript must accompany the online application. If official transcripts are not submitted at the time of application, students receive provisional admission. Official transcripts must be submitted to receive full admission. Such notification is provided in the Graduate School’s admission letter/email; no additional reminders are sent. Failure to submit official transcripts by the end of your first semester results in a registration block. The Graduate School removes the block when official transcripts have been received. Send official transcripts to: Enrollment Services Operation, 0130 Mitchell Building, 7999 Regents Drive, University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742
International Students
Eligible international applicants must also fulfill the Graduate Admissions Process for International Applicants. International students already in the U.S., Permanent Residents, or Holders of Another Visa Status must check with the State Department prior to submitting the application to determine whether or not the visa permits participation. International students may only register for the specific calendar-based program (semester or term) into which they were admitted. TOEFL scores are only valid for two years after the test date; IELTS scores have a recommended two-year validity period.
- Face to Face, Semester Based: International students and applicants with foreign credentials are eligible to apply for face to face, semester based programs.
- Face to Face, Term Based: International students and applicants with foreign credentials are eligible to apply for face to face, term based programs.
- Online, Term or Semester Based: Admitted international students participate 100% as online students. Immigration documents (F-1 or J-1 visas or I-20) are NOT issued for online programs.
Accept Offer of Admissions
The Graduate School sends the official admission decision via the e-mail provided in your application. This e-mail becomes the e-mail of record on your student account. In your official letter, there is a link to either accept or reject this offer. Should you not accept, the offer of admission is rescinded by the Graduate School and the application withdrawn. See The Graduate School’s policy on Offer of Admission (including deferral of admission term changes).
