Exchange Students

If you intend to take Computer Science (CMSC) courses at the University of Maryland as a part of an exchange program, please contact the Undergraduate Advising Office at ugrad [at] cs.umd.edu if you require assistance. Please keep in mind the following information:

  • You must meet the prerequisites for the CMSC courses that you are requesting. Please ensure that you provide your academic record and the syllabi for any courses you may have taken in the past at your home institution. Please note that we ask for up to fifteen business days to process your initial course requests.
  • We allow students to register for two CMSC courses per semester, with the possibility of registering for a third CMSC course. Please note, we cannot guarantee seats will be available in any specific course. You may need to be flexible with your course requests based upon seat availability.
  • 4 CMSC courses in a single semester is strictly prohibited, regardless of necessity for your home institution.

If you meet the eligibility above, please complete the Spring 2025 Exchange Student Permission Form.
