* A course equivalent listed with “TR” (e.g., ACCT 116TR or ACCT 316TR) represents a non-direct equivalency in the specific discipline indicated. "116TR" signifies lower-level credit (100-299), and"316TR" signifies upper-level credit (300-499).

◊ A course designated by the prefix "ELEC" stands for elective. Elective transfer credits can be transferred as "higher-level" (such as ELEC 316), or "lower-level" (such as ELEC 116).

Submit a Request for Credit

If you have one or more of these certifications, you must submit official documentation from the certifying organization (such as a certificate, verification code, or letter) which includes your name, the title of the certification, and the date(s) of the certification. Send this documentation to studentrecords@umgc.edu after you apply to UMGC.

Upon receipt, UMGC will assess whether the certification can be applied to your program (based on all other sources of credit you earn) and, if so, how it will be applied (major coursework, elective, or other). If UMGC does not receive the appropriate documentation, we will not be able to evaluate credit and its applicability to your degree or certificate program.
