- MC's EN 101 will transfer to UMCP only as a lower-level
elective. UMCP does not administer English placement tests to
students, so these students will be able to enroll in UMCP's ENGL 101
when they arrive in the spring. They can take EN 101 with us if they
want to improve writing skills; however, they need to understand that it
will not satisfy an English requirement at UMCP. EN 101 will
transfer as elective credit. A good question to ask students is,
"Do your essays and papers in high school usually come back with
a lot of corrections? If so, you may want to consider taking EN
101 to be ready for freshman English at College
Park."

- Math - UMCP does give a math assessment test to
all incoming
students. Even though MC's MA 100 and lower courses do not transfer, it
may be to a student's advantage to take one of those courses with us if
their MC placement test indicates a need. They should be advised to do
some kind of preparation on their own for a UMCP test if they elect not
to take math with us. Here's a link to UM's
Math Placement Testing information.

- Use ARTSYS pages
AND the
UMCP Four Year plans to advise for course choices.
Print out courses suggestions from this chart showing all UM
majors.
|
- Use a CORE list to select MC courses that fulfill CORE
requirements at UMCP. Because these students technically "belong" to
UMCP, they should take CORE courses rather than any course from the MC
Gen Ed Program. This list gives specific MC course
CORE
choices for UMCP Second Semester Freshman Admits

- In general, you may want to suggest that students
consider taking courses at MC that are typically large lecture courses
at College Park - lab science, PY, SO, math, history, etc.
