Tips for Completing the Online Application

• If you are seeking admission to multiple Limited Enrollment Programs, you must complete a separate application for each LEP. 
• When previewing the application prior to submission, you will see all portions of the online application form, including those not relevant to the program for which you are applying. This is to be expected and will not impact your application provided you completed the sections relevant to your desired LEP major.
• You will see a letter of recommendation feature in the online application. Business applicants only may submit up to three letters of recommendation. A letter of recommendation is not required or requested of students applying to any other major and letters of recommendation for students applying to any major other than Business will not be considered.
• If you have questions about the application requirements or admission process, you may contact the Limited Enrollment Programs office at lep@umd.edu. If you have technical problems using the application system, please contact admit-tech@umd.edu.
