Use the information below to determine the best way to submit all of your required application documents.
Applications are considered complete when the online application and all required documents have been submitted. All materials must be submitted electronically or postmarked by the appropriate deadline for consideration. It may take up to 10 business days for recently submitted materials to be listed as received on your checklist and it is your responsibility to confirm receipt of all materials.
Application materials received after the intended deadline will be added to your file, however, we cannot guarantee they will be considered during the review of your application.
ApplicationsFreshman applicants can submit applications through Common App or ApplyWeb. Transfer applicants must use ApplyWeb.
Undergraduate admission applications must be completed online; UMD does not offer a paper application.
Standardized Test ScoresOfficial standardized test scores must be sent to us directly (electronically or mailed) by the test administrator.
You are encouraged to list UMD as a recipient of your scores when you take standardized tests so we will receive them as quickly as possible. We cannot guarantee that scores received after the application deadline will be considered during the review of your admission application.
