GVPT Transfer Student Appreciation Event

 

BSOS361 is a required, one-credit course designed to help first-semester transfer students explore the campus & college, create your academic plan, and prepare for your career. The course is guided by the TerrapinSRONG principles.

We strongly encourage all incoming students to schedule a meeting with a GVPT Advisor during their first semester at UMD. GVPT advisors can answer questions about GVPT, double major and minor requirements, make course recommendations, and help create a graduation plan to ensure timely graduation from the University of Maryland. Your GVPT advisors want to get to know you so that they can provide quality support throughout your time as a GVPT undergraduate TERP.
