Planning a college curriculum is a challenging process. University of Maryland University College employs a number of professional Academic Advisors to provide assistance for students. Academic Advisors maintain offices in Guam, Japan, Korea, and Okinawa. They travel frequently to visit most education centers to meet with students. This assistance can include a review of potential transfer credit, help with clarification of education goals, aid in selecting appropriate courses, and the preparation of tentative evaluations of students’ progress toward UMUC certificates, associate’s degrees, and bachelor’s degrees.
Students should meet with an Academic Advisor as early in their college careers as possible to ensure that the courses they select meet the requirements for a degree or certificate with UMUC.
If students cannot speak with an Advisor in person, they can contact one by telephone or e-mail. Academic Advisors' contact information can be found below.

Initial Estimate of Transfer Credit
Prospective or newly admitted students can have a review of their potential transfer credit done on site by an Academic Advisor. This review is an estimate of the academic credit UMUC might accept toward a particular degree and of the requirements that would remain to be fulfilled. (Sources of credit are described here.) This review is not binding on either the student or UMUC and is subject to change.
