<p>The MTAP transfer policy states that “Maryland community college students who have completed the associate degree or students who have completed 56 semester hours of credit with a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0 shall not be denied direct transfer to a Maryland public four-year institution”.</p>
<p>As MD Mom pointed out in an earlier post, having above a 2.0 guarantees admission to ‘A’ Maryland State school. This does not mean UMD CP is guaranteed. I suspect you will need a higher GPA (i.e 3.0 or better) to be able to transfer to UMCP (or UMBC)</p>
