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.
  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. 

After completing these three steps, you must apply to the USG Scholarship during the semester before you plan to enroll in a program offered at USG in order to receive the $500 Transfer Scholarship*. For fall enrollment, the USG Scholarship priority deadline is June 30th; the final deadline is July 31st. For spring enrollment, the priority deadline is November 30th; the final deadline is December 31st. 

*Currently the $500 Transfer Scholarship is only available for new students planning to enroll in Spring 2026 or Fall 2026. 

**The scholarship amount is prorated for part-time enrollment.

For Dual Enrolled Students

If you are a current MCPS student participating in a dual enrollment program at Montgomery College, your admissions process to a program at USG might be slightly different than the traditional transfer application process. Please make sure to connect with the admissions representative from your institution.
