Establishing Credit hours each for the English examination and the mathematics examination, and 6 semester hours for the examinations in natural sciences, social sciences and history, and humanities.

Academic advisors can furnish details. DANTES Examinations Credit may be awarded for successfully completing certain Subject Standardized Tests of DANTES (formerly known as USAFI). Academic advisors have information on which tests are acceptable. Excelsior College Examinations (ECEP — Formerly RCEP and ACT/PEP) Students may earn credit for successfully completing subject tests offered by Excelsior College. Tests are available in various areas of the arts and sciences, as well as in business. Scores must meet UMUC standards. Academic advisors can furnish details. 16 Graduate Work By UMUC-Europe Seniors Undergraduate students enrolled with UMUC-Europe who have reached senior-level status (90 semester hours or more) may register for graduate-level courses with the Bowie State University graduate programs in Europe if the following requirements/ conditions are met: • The graduate courses exceed the number of credits required for the bachelor’s degree. • English proficiency has been successfully established. • The student’s grade point average is 3.0 or better. • Permission has been secured from the Director, Graduate Programs. • The UMUC-Europe Seniors’ Application for Graduate Admission has been filed.

Academic Advisement Official Evaluation The purpose of the Official Evaluation is to show students their certificate or degree standing and to help them select appropriate courses for their specific programs. An Official Evaluation should be requested only if the student intends to complete a University of Maryland University College certificate or degree. Students who have completed 6 hours at UMUC, with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better, are eligible to request an Official Evaluation of their transfer credit. For this evaluation, students need to submit official transcripts from all colleges and universities previously attended, including other institutions of the University System of Maryland, whether or not transfer credit is requested or granted. UMUC may deny transfer credit from any institution not listed on the application for admission. Sources of transfer credit not listed at the time of admission or approved by an advisor after admission cannot be applied toward the UMUC degree. An official evaluation: • Includes all transfer credits earned up to the date of the evaluation that may be applied to a UMUC degree program. • Lists all courses completed at UMUC. • Incorporates other types of academic credit. • Indicates the amount and type of coursework still required for the degree being sought. An Official Evaluation is based on the curriculum in effect when the student first registered with UMUC or a Maryland public two- or four-year school provided there has been no break in enrollment exceeding two years. 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-Europe Office of Evaluations Unit 29216 APO AE 09102 Form UMAA-002 for requesting transcripts from colleges or universities is available at education centers. Documents required for the Official Evaluation include as applicable: Request for an Official Evaluation (UMAA-026); CLEP, USAFI/DANTES, Excelsior College Exams (ECEP — formerly RCEP, ACT/PEP), etc., test results; official transcripts from all colleges or universities attended; and appropriate military documents. An Official Evaluation cannot be started until an official transcript has been received from each institution attended, 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 the Office of Evaluations. Academic Advisement Students who attend a non-U.S. institution (e.g., German Gymnasium) or university for which transfer credit may be awarded should submit official documents, including secondary school documents, to the Office of Evaluations in Heidelberg. Word-for-word official translations of all non-English documents must be provided. These will be forwarded to an evaluation agency for review. Updated evaluations will be provided upon request for students who have completed at least 12 semester hours of UMUC coursework, maintained a grade point average of 2.0 (C) or better, and have no financial obligation to the University. The Office of Evaluations can be reached via e-mail at edevals@ed.umuc.edu Curriculum Planning Sheets UMUC degree-seeking students receive their Official Evaluation in the form of the Curriculum Planning Sheet, that will: • Indicate the requirements that have been completed both through UMUC courses and through transfer of other credit, if applicable. • Show remaining requirements in each part of the certificate/ degree curriculum. Students can use their Curriculum Planning Sheet to help them select suitable courses toward a UMUC certificate or degree. They should keep it up-to-date. Students should also refer to this Catalog to ensure their selections fulfill the certificate and degree requirements. Students receiving VA educational benefits or federal financial aid must follow the Curriculum Planning Sheet closely. No award can be made for any course that does not fit into the student’s degree program. Course selection advice is also available upon request from UMUC-Europe academic advisors. Contract for Degree The Contract for Degree (CFD) assists students who plan to earn a degree with UMUC even after leaving Europe. To be eligible for a CFD, a student must receive an Official Evaluation from UMUC and complete the minimum UMUC coursework requirements specified for the degree. The CFD is valid up to the conferral of the first associate or baccalaureate degree by any school. Student can request a CFD through the Office of Evaluations in Heidelberg. Upon receipt of the request and verification of eligibility, UMUC will complete the CFD and mail it directly to the student. 2004-2005 Undergraduate Catalog 17
