Are there restrictions on which courses I can take at another school and transfer to College Park?

• Yes. If you are a current student at UMCP, you must get permission ahead of time by filling out a Permission to Enroll in Another Institution form, which is available in room 2102 of the Chemistry Building.   These forms are also available in the undergraduate offices of other departments as well.

What happens if I take MATH or PHYSICS courses elsewhere and they transfer as courses that don't fulfill chemistry department requirements?

• Courses that transfer to UMCP as PHYS 121 and 122 will together satisfy the Chemistry Department's requirement for Physics I. You will then need to take PHYS 260/261 to satisfy the Physics II requirement.   Courses that transfer here as PHYS 161 and PHYS 262 will satisfy the Physics I and II requirements as well. In order to take a class at any other campus you must fill out a Permission to Enroll in Another Institution form before you register for such a class.
• If you took Calculus courses that transfer to UMCP as MATH 220 and 221, you will have to take MATH 140 and 141 to fulfill your Departmental requirements. Since credit cannot be given for both MATH 220 and 140 or both MATH 221 and 141, the new math courses will NOT count toward the 120 credits needed for graduation.
