Current students, or internal transfers, are students already at the University of Maryland (UMD) who would like to change their major to a Limited Enrollment Program (LEP). Processes differ depending on your major of interest.
The LEP application is made available following the add/drop deadline of each semester. Students may expect the Spring 2025 application to be made available in mid to late September. All applicants are strongly encouraged to review their program's gateway requirements prior to completing the application.
Internal transfer students should complete the LEP application either during the semester in which they complete the required gateway courses or at the end of the semester. This timeline is dependent upon the application deadline for the student's preferred major.
Students applying for the fall semester can complete a gateway course during the summer, at either UMD or another institution. In order to be considered, courses must be taken during, or completed by the end of, UMD's Summer 1 Session. Students applying for the spring semester must complete gateway courses by the end of the fall semester.
Business applicants must complete all coursework by the conclusion of the fall or spring semester (summer coursework will not be reviewed). Only business applicants may submit letters of recommendation (no more than 3) via email to lep@umd.edu, or in-person to the Office of Undergraduate Admissions in the Mitchell Building.
