LANSING COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TRANSFER GUIDE
Title: MACRAO TRANSFER AGREEMENT
Code: 1123
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. Students may complete the MACRAO Transfer Agreement as part of an
associate degree or as a stand-alone package. 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. At least 10 semester
credits used to complete the MACRAO Transfer Agreement must be earned in
attendance at Lansing Community College.
When coursework requirements for meeting the MACRAO Transfer Agreement have
been completed, it is the student's responsibility to request the statement
'MACRAO Agreement Satisfied' be posted on their LCC transcript by filing a
MACRAO-CORE AUDIT request in the Academic Advising Center.
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. Courses
taken before Fall Semester 1993 will not automatically satisfy the MACRAO
requirement. If you took courses during this time, the courses may satisfy
MACRAO requirements. If you would like to request a substitution to the MACRAO
requirements complete and submit the Request for Term Course Substitution for
MACRAO Requirements. 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 a waiver for WRIT 121 indicated on their record 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.
NOTE: Areas below contain 2,3,4 and 5 credit semester, which may necessitate
taking more than two courses to reach the 8 semester credit hour minimum.
