PRE-TRANSFER ADVISING

Let Us Help Make Your Transfer Smooth and Simple!

At UMBC-Shady Grove, we offer upper-level coursework in our undergraduate programs. To be eligible to enroll in these courses, certain prerequisite courses must be completed prior to transfer. In addition to prerequisite courses, there are also additional recommended courses that we strongly encourage students to complete that will assist in completion of general education requirements. Navigating these prerequisite and recommended courses will ensure a seamless transfer!

There are great resources you can use to plan your transfer, such as ARTSYS and Transfer Central, but you don’t need to plan on your own. That is why we (your pre-transfer advisors) are here! We will meet you where you are and will empower you to choose a path that works best for you. Let us help you achieve your educational goals by signing up for an appointment today!
