The Center for Transfer Access at the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) is here to support students to reach their academic and career goals through one of nine Maryland universities that offer programs at USG. Whether you're just starting at a community college, currently exploring transfer options, looking to return to school, or planning to pursue a graduate degree, we're here to guide you. Our team provides personalized support for both prospective undergraduate and graduate students, helping you navigate the transfer process, connect with academic programs, and take the right steps toward your educational and career goals.
At USG, Together We Make It Happen by connecting students to resources, people, and opportunities that remove barriers and build bridges to academic and professional success.
Planning to transfer to USG? The USG Transfer Pathway was created to simplify the process and help you succeed every step of the way. By completing three key steps — transfer coaching, pre-transfer academic advising, and attending a Transfer Express session — you can also qualify for the new Transfer Pathway Scholarship, designed to support affordability and access.
