NOTES:
1. The MACRAO Transfer Agreement applies only to students entering bachelor
   degree programs at FSU, pertains solely to general education, and does 
   not exempt students from meeting specific requirements for their program
   major.  
2. Students who transfer with an AA or AS degree and MACRAO stamp will have 
   met the lower division general education requirements.  In addition, they
   must complete the upper-level communication competence requirement and 
   have a minimum of 33 hours in general education coursework.
3. Students who transfer with an AAS or AAA degree, unless accompanied by a
   MACRAO stamp, must complete the FSU general education requirements for a
   bachelor's degree.
4. Students transferring completed degrees, associate or bachelors, or 
   "MACRAO Stamp" only to Ferris will not have to repeat courses with grades 
   lower than a 2.0 in order to meet general education requirements.  
   Programmatic requirements and prerequisites override the acceptance of 
   grades lower than 2.0. 
5. In the following categories - Cultural Enrichment, Social Awareness, 
   Global Consciousness, and Race/Ethnicity/Gender (REG) - courses often 
   meet more than one general education requirement simultaneously.
