MACRAO Transfer Agreement
This agreement will be replaced by the new Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), which will take effect for students entering Fall 2014 or later. Students who started prior to Fall 2014 will be able to complete the existing MACRAO Transfer Agreement through Summer 2019, or they may complete the MTA requirements.
Effective Fall Semester 2013 through Summer 2019
The MACRAO Transfer Agreement is designed to facilitate transfer from community colleges to baccalaureate colleges and universities. It provides for transferability 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 the MACRAO Transfer Agreement does not necessarily mean that a student has completed the requirement for a specific Lansing Community College associate degree. At least one credit-bearing course must be earned in attendance at Lansing Community College.
When the coursework and residency requirements for meeting the
MACRAO Transfer Agreement have been completed, it is the student's
responsibility to request that the statement 'MACRAO Agreement Satisfied' be
posted on their LCC transcript by completing a MACRAO-CORE AUDIT request in
the Academic Advising Center. The completed form will be submitted to and
processed by
Enrollment Services.
Effective Fall 2013 through Summer 2019, 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 course from the school
where it was completed, and submit the documentation to the Enrollment
Services Office.

WRIT 121 or WRIT 131
-
WRIT 122 or ENGL 122 or WRIT 132 or ENGL 132
A student with a waiver for WRIT 121 indicated on their record must complete a second course from the 200-level offerings in WRIT or ENGL. Waiver of WRIT 121 should be printed on the student's transcript.
