Admission
High School Students — Concurrent
Secondary Enrollment
With the written recommendation of a high school guidance
counselor, an academically gifted high school senior may enroll in
a maximum of one three-semester-hour freshman-level course
per term while finishing work toward a high school diploma.
Such a student is required to demonstrate a cumulative grade
point average of at least 3.5 (B+) in high school academic subjects.
The student may continue to register as a “concurrent secondary”
student until graduation from high school. For purposes of
categorization, the student is treated as having provisional status.
Proof of English Proficiency
Students enrolling for the first time with UMUC whose native
language is not English must provide proof of English proficiency
by providing one of the following documents to the field
representative at the time of registration for courses:
1. An official copy of the results of the Test of English as a
Foreign Language (TOEFL) indicating a score of at least 213
on the computerized test version (or at least 550 on the written
exam). UMUC does not administer this test. It is the student’s
responsibility to arrange for testing and to see that an official
copy of the test results reaches UMUC-Europe in Heidelberg.
The TOEFL school code for UMUC-Europe is 0715.
Information about the exam and administration of it is found
at: www.toefl.com or by calling 0031-26-352-1577,
or
2. Evidence of attendance and graduation from a secondary
school in which the language of instruction was English.
Generally, a student will need to be able to demonstrate
attendance in such a secondary school for a minimum of
three years in addition to having graduated from the school,
or
3. An official transcript from a regionally accredited U.S. college
or university indicating a grade of C or higher in an English
composition course.
In addition to providing proof of English proficiency, the applicant
must meet the “Admission Requirements” noted previously. If
there is a question of eligibility, contact the Director, Student
Affairs in Heidelberg.

Educational Leave of Absence (ELA)
Program (formerly “Bootstrap”
Program)
Educational Leave of Absence Program (ELA) is a special program
which allows servicemembers to enroll with a university to complete
degree requirements through full-time study. This study may be
accomplished through UMUC-Europe at local education centers
or, in some cases, at a State of Maryland institution in the United
States. A student interested in this program should first check
with his or her own branch of service to check eligibility guidelines.
