General Admissions Notes for MC Students 

Who is a Transfer Student?  Towson looks for a student with 30 credits completed on a transcript at the time of application (excluding EL/RD courses).  Students with less than 30 credits will be asked to submit high school transcripts and SAT scores.

"Priority admission is reserved for transfer students from a Maryland community college who have earned at least 56 transferable credits, are in good academic standing, and have maintained a GPA that meets the policies set by the Maryland Higher Education Commission and University System of Maryland policies.

Students who have earned fewer than 56 transferable credits or who are transferring from an institution other than a Maryland community college will be admitted based upon combined cumulative GPA of transferable credits and space availability."
