welcome to UmUc - UMUC Asia - University of Maryland University ...

Informational Brochures
UMUC Asia publishes a series of brochures that include general
information on returning to college as a part‐time student,
specific information on academic disciplines offered in Asia,
financial aid, graduation, and other topics. Students may obtain
these publications from a UMUC Field Representative.
Official Evaluation
Students who have completed at least 3 credits of UMUC
coursework with an average of C (2.0) or better may submit a
Request for an Evaluation. This form is available at all education
centers and on the UMUC Asia Web site at www.asia.
umuc.edu/publications/forms/umr‐232_eval.pdf. By submitting a
Common Application in the GoArmyEd portal, active‐duty Army
students are in effect requesting an Official Evaluation from
UMUC Asia and do not need to submit a separate Request for
an Evaluation form.
The Official Evaluation shows students how many credits they
have earned in courses with UMUC; what credits can be accepted
for transfer from other colleges, universities, and military
service schools; and what transferable credits they have
earned through testing.
In general, the Official Evaluation is based upon UMUC
curriculum requirements in effect when the student began
continuous enrollment with UMUC, or with any other public
institution of higher education in the State of Maryland,
whichever was earlier. If a student has not been continuously
enrolled, the requirements that apply are those that were in
effect at UMUC at the time of the student’s most recent enrollment
with UMUC, or with any other public institution of
higher education in the State of Maryland. To be considered
continuously enrolled, degree‐seeking students must be, or
have been, enrolled at a Maryland public institution of higher
education and have had no more than two sequential years of
nonenrollment.
Thus, for most students with UMUC in Asia (who will not
have attended public institutions of higher education in the
State of Maryland), their Official Evaluations will be based on
the UMUC curriculum in effect at the time of their first enrollment
with UMUC, unless they have had a break in continuous
study with UMUC of more than two sequential years. When
there has been a break of two sequential years or more, the curriculum
applicable to the Official Evaluation will be the one in
effect at the time the student resumes study with UMUC.
Academic advisement
Students requesting an Official Evaluation should have all records
and transcripts of their previous education sent directly
from the issuing institutions to:
Attn: Transcripts
University of Maryland University College
3501 University Blvd East
Adelphi, MD 20783
The documents required for an Official Evaluation include:
USAFI, DSST, Excelsior College, and CLEP test results;
AARTS and SMART transcripts for Army, Navy, and Marine
Corps students; CCAF transcripts for Air Force students, and
official transcripts from all other colleges and universities a
student has attended. All transcripts, military documents and
other educational records become the property of University
of Maryland University College and can neither be returned to
nor copied for the student. If students arrange for the submission
of appropriate documents, but do not subsequently request
an evaluation, the documents are discarded after one year.
Evaluations cannot be provided to students who have a debt to
the University until that debt is paid in full.
Evaluation of Service School
Training
UMUC follows the recommendations of the American Council
on Education (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational
Experiences in the Armed Services (all editions) in the evaluation
of service school credit. For more information, see the
“Ways of Earning Credit” section of this Catalog.
Curriculum Planning Sheet
The Curriculum Planning Sheet or SOC Student Agreement
indicates the credit for previous study which is applicable to
University of Maryland University College degree programs,
the UMUC courses the student has completed, and the remaining
credits and/or courses required to complete the degree.
