This summer (July–August 2025), you may have the opportunity to get more out of your financial aid and benefits and accelerate your path toward a bachelor's degree or undergraduate certificate. University of Maryland Global Campus is offering a conveniently timed summer accelerated session to eligible students for a limited selection of undergraduate courses, which will be available fully online with limited hybrid course location options. Taking a course during this term may allow you to fully take advantage of your financial aid, military Tuition Assistance, and VA funding benefits while completing a crucial course in only four weeks (instead of the standard eight-week session).
If you meet one of the following criteria, you may be eligible for this opportunity:
- Returning students who are in good academic standing (not on warning or probation)
- New students who have at least 45 total posted transfer credits
