• External transfers (community college students) are students applying to the University of Maryland who would like to major in an LEP.

• The admissions requirements for LEP's for Internal and External Transfers are the same.

• External transfer students apply to LEP's by submitting the General Application for Admission to the University of Maryland by indicating the major(s) of interest - there is not a separate LEP application form.
