@DeltaMom2019 Here is what the policy is: "Under the Maryland Higher Education Commission guidelines, students who have met the minimum standard of a 2.0 GPA (Grade Point Average) are eligible for general admission to four year colleges or universities that are part of the University of Maryland System on a space available basis. This guideline does not include selective or limited enrollment programs such as business administration, computer science, engineering, teacher education and other limited programs found on these campuses.
Institutions may delay your enrollment by a semester until space becomes available. This information should be provided within your letter."
So…no guarantees a kid from a Maryland community college (at least from Howard Comm College) can get in to UMD.
