MACRAO Transfer Agreement
The Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (MACRAO) has developed an agreement to facilitate transfer from Michigan community colleges to baccalaureate colleges and universities. The agreement provides for transfer of up to 30 semester credit hours to meet many (in some cases all) of the general education requirements at participating Michigan four-year colleges and universities. Students should check with the college to which they plan to transfer to determine if the MACRAO agreement is honored or if the college puts limitations or provisos on the agreement. Please see macrao.org for additional information. How the MACRAO Agreement Works The MACRAO Transfer Agreement stipulates that 30 semester credit hours of 100-level and above, compatible, college-level coursework completed at one Michigan college or university will transfer to another Michigan college or university, and be applied toward meeting the student's general education requirements at the "transferred to" institution. A complete listing of course and credit hour requirements is included here. The institution offering the courses (the college in which a student begins) determines the specific courses in each category. In order to get the MACRAO certification from WCC, students need to have earned 25% of their total MACRAO credit hours at WCC (approximately 8 credit hours) and must have earned a minimum 2.0 GPA in each of the 4 areas: English Composition, Social Science, Science and Math, and Humanities. Once students have completed the course requirements for meeting MACRAO, they must request that their transcript be certified as "MACRAO Agreement Satisfied." This can be done in the Enrollment Services Office before a transcript is sent to a transfer college. MACRAO Transfer Requirements (2010 - 2011 Catalog) The course numbers of MACRAO-approved courses are listed here. Course numbers in bold do not meet WCC General Education Requirements. Course numbers in italics include a laboratory component.
Many WCC programs have articulation agreements with other colleges and universities that allow students to transfer courses to a bachelor's degree program without loss of credit. These programs are designed to meet MACRAO requirements and should be followed carefully so as not to lose the benefits of MACRAO. If a program meets MACRAO, it will be noted in the program description. Copies of articulation agreements can be obtained in the counseling office. Four-Year Colleges and Universities that accept MACRAO The institutions listed below accept the MACRAO Transfer Agreement. Those marked with an * have limitations, exceptions, or provisos. Check with a counselor or an admissions representative from the four-year college/university to learn about these exceptions before selecting courses for a program of study.
