PRogREss REPoRt
Academic advisors provide students the information needed
to plan an academic program. The purpose of the official
evaluation/degree progress report is to show students
their certificate or degree progress and to help them select
appropriate courses. Official evaluations are available to
students who are enrolled in UMUC Europe courses and
intend to complete a UMUC certificate or degree.
As they enroll in their first course, students need to submit
official documents during their first term.
An official evaluation/degree progress report:
G Includes all documented transfer credit earned up to the
date of the evaluation that may be applied to a UMUC
degree program
G Lists all courses completed at UMUC
G Incorporates other types of documented (non-traditional
academic) credit
G Indicates the amount and type of coursework still required
for the certificate or degree being sought
An official evaluation/degree progress report is based on the
curriculum in effect when the student first registered with
UMUC or any Maryland public two- or four-year school
provided there has been no break in enrollment exceeding two
years.
In the degree progress report, a student’s most recent
courses are applied to requirements first. Courses that could
apply to multiple requirements are assigned to the first
relevant category in the following order: general education
requirements, then requirements for the selected academic
major and minor, and finally electives. Verification of other
degree-wide requirements (such as minimum number of
upper-level credits) follows and may affect the remaining
credits needed for the degree.

documents Required for an
official Evaluation
With the exception of GoArmyEd students, all students must
request an official evaluation by submitting the Application
for an Official Evaluation. Requests are submitted through
MyUMUC (my.umuc.edu) by selecting MyAdvising > Request
Europe Degree Progress.
By completing the Common Application in
the GoArmyEd portal, UMUC is notified that an official
evaluation is requested for a GoArmyEd student.
Documents required for an official evaluation include:
G CLEP, USAFI/DANTES, Excelsior College Exams
(ECEP— formerly RCEP, ACT/PEP), or other test results,
as appropriate
G Official transcripts from all colleges or universities
attended–the form Transcript Request (UMAA-002) is
available at education centers or online at
www.ed.umuc.edu/undergrad/services/advise
G Appropriate military documents
An official evaluation cannot be started until an official
transcript has been received directly from each institution
attended, including other institutions of the University System
of Maryland, even when credit from one institution is posted
on the transcript of another institution. All transcripts and
military documents become the property of UMUC Europe
and cannot be returned to, copied for, or forwarded to a third
party for the student. It is the responsibility of the student
to ensure that all appropriate documents have been received
by UMUC. Students may request an official evaluation/
degree progress report for a new program or new major/minor
by submitting a new Application for an Official Evaluation
through MyUMUC (my.umuc.edu).
During the student’s first session at UMUC, all records
of previous educational experiences must be sent directly
from each issuing institution (or other source, in the case of
military documents) to:
University of Maryland University College
Attn: Transcript Office
3501 University Boulevard East
Adelphi, MD 20783-8070
UMUC may deny transfer credit from any institution not
listed on the Application for Admission or, for
students, on their Common Application. Sources of transfer
credit not listed at the time of admission or approved by an
advisor after admission cannot be applied toward UMUC
certificates or degrees.
