Higher Education in Maryland

Advisory Councils

There are four statutory advisory councils that were established by law and are to meet periodically for the purpose of reviewing such matters as are referred by the Commission or the Secretary. They may also make reports and recommendations to the Commission. The Commission is given the authority by law to create additional advisory councils to address specific needs.

Commission Advisory Councils

Student Transfer Advisory Council: Membership includes thirteen members representing all segments of postsecondary education, the Faculty Advisory Council, and the Maryland State Department of Education. Ex-officio members include the Director of Articulation for the University System of Maryland and the Secretary of Higher Education or the Secretary’s designated representative, who serves as Chair of the Council. The Student Transfer Advisory Council is created by the Commission to review transfer issues and recommend policy changes as needed. The Council reports annually to the Secretary on the status of transfer and articulation in Maryland.
