The USG Transfer Pathway

Introducing the USG Transfer Pathway

Here’s your three-step process to transfer seamlessly from community college (or another university) into a bachelor’s program offered by one of nine Maryland universities on the USG campus, and earn a $500 USG Transfer Scholarship*!

1. Connect with a USG Transfer Coach.
   • Meet with a USG Transfer Coach to explore programs that match your goals and to get acquainted with the transfer process.
   • Schedule your USG Transfer Coaching appointment here.
2. Meet with an Academic Advisor
   • Recommended for students who have completed 30+ college credits.
   • Connect with an academic advisor from your program(s) and institution(s) of interest for guidance to ensure you complete the correct pre-requisites to transfer into their program.
   • Your USG transfer coach will provide you information on how to connect with your program of interest for pre-transfer advising. You can also find your program's information within USG's Degree Programs page.
3. Attend a Transfer Express Session
   • Recommended for students who have completed 45+ college credits.
   • Attend an academic and financial prep workshop to set yourself up for success.
   • Check USG's Prospective Student Events Calendar to register for an upcoming Transfer Express Session.
