First obtain the University's Graduate Application.
Instructions on how to apply are located at the University of Maryland Graduate School Website. You must fill out the online application. This will include copies of unofficial transcripts and a statement of purpose. Do not send letters of recommendation or GRE test scores, these are not necessary for non-degree seeking students.
Application Fee
