                             TRANSFER GUIDE

Title:  MACRAO TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Code:   1123                                                     Revised 9/24/08   
In 1973 the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions 
Officers proposed the MACRAO Transfer Agreement. The MACRAO Transfer Agreement 
was created to simplify the transfer of students from community colleges to 
baccalaureate colleges and universities.  The agreement provides for transfer-
ability of up to 30 semester credits to meet many (in some cases all) of the 
General Education Requirements at participating Michigan four year colleges and 
universities.  Completion of requirements for the MACRAO Transfer Agreement does 
not necessarily mean that a student has completed the requirements for a specific
LCC associate degree.

When coursework requirements for meeting the MACRAO Transfer Agreement have 
been completed, it is the student's responsibility to request the Registrar's
Office post the statement 'MACRAO Transfer Agreement Satisfied' on their LCC
transcript.

The minimum basic two-year requirements are:
    English Composition   - 6 Credits    Social Science - 8 Credits
    Science & Mathematics - 8 Credits    Humanities     - 8 Credits
                              
The following establishes the approved list of LCC courses under the four 
major distribution requirements for the MACRAO Transfer Agreement.  A course
can be used to satisfy only one category even though it may appear in more 
than one category.  Only courses in which at least a 2.0 is received 
may be applied to this agreement.

A course that is transferred to LCC from another college or university and is 
not equivalent to a specific LCC course may be used to satisfy MACRAO if it is  
a general education course, fits into one of the MACRAO areas, and meets LCC's
MACRAO Guidelines.  To have such a course considered for MACRAO, a student must
obtain documentation about the courses from the school where it was completed 
and submit that documentation to Enrollment Services.  Requests may also be made 
to Enrollment Services to have credits earned through AP, CLEP or DSST tests 
which did not receive specific LCC course equivalency evaluated for MACRAO.

I.   English Composition (minimum of 6 semester credit hours)
     Any one course from each group:
        1. WRIT 121 or WRIT 131 
        2. WRIT 122 or ENGL 122 or WRIT 132 or ENGL 132
     A students with waiver of WRIT 121 indicated on the transcript must 
     elect a second course from the  200-level offerings in WRIT or ENGL.  
     Waiver of WRIT 121 should be printed on the student's transcript.

      taking more than two courses to reach the 8 semester credit hour minimum.
