1) An "X" in a column indicates that the Institution guarantees to accept credit from the source shown for at least part of the requirement.
2) This column indicates whether a school accepts transfer credit for courses taken through distance learning. It does not mean that the school offers the course through distance
learning.
3) Although military service school and MOS credit are only indicated in the electives area above, UMUC will award maximum military credits where appropriate. This evaluation
will be conducted on a case-by-case basis. A maximum of 15sh MOS credit may be applicable.
4) Additional academic requirements: grade of C or better in all core or core-related specialized curriculum coursework; overall GPA of at least 2.0.
5) A maximum of 30 semester hours from all credit-by-exam sources (12sh for CLEP general exams) may be applicable to an Associate's degree program.
6) Upper-level coursework may assume prior study in that area. Carefully check for prerequisites.
Students who expect to complete the requirements for a degree are responsible for making sure they have met all requirements by referring to their official UMUC evaluation. It is
highly recommended that students refer to the degree planning worksheets on the UMUC website for suggested course selections, and work closely with their UMUC academic
advisor throughout their progress towards the degree, especially within 15sh of expected graduation.
