Students must enroll at MCC to qualify for transfer credits.  Only official transcripts will be evaluated.  Official transcripts are those send directly to MCC from the institution where the credit was earned.  When a student has received a two- or four-year degree from another institution, an evaluation is done if the student makes the request.  Evaluation of post-secondary transcripts may take up to six weeks after the transcript is received.  Students planning to transfer to MCC should have transcripts from other institutions sent to the college well in advance of the first semester of attendance.  Only credits earned from a regionally accredited institution of higher learning are accepted. 
 
Equivalent courses may be accepted in transfer for corresponding MCC courses.  If a course has no equivalent at MCC, it may be used as an elective.  Credits, not grades are accepted for courses in which a grade of "C" or better was earned. 
 
MCC is based on a semester system; two-thirds credit is granted for courses earned at an institution on terms or quarters.  It is the student's responsibility to follow up on the credit evaluation  Students receive a copy of the evaluation and a copy is placed in the student's file with the transcript.  Students may request a review of the evaluation.  Questions regarding the evaluation should be directed to the Director of Enrollment Services

 
The MACRAO (Michigan Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers) Transfer agreement stipulates that 30 semester hours of 100-level and above, compatible, general course work will be granted transferability to participating colleges and universities.  Students completing the MACRAO requirements must request their transcript show "MACRAO Agreement Satisfied."  Students who have met the requirements for this agreement should fill out a "MACRAO Agreement Application", available in Enrollment Services, upon completion.

 Students planning to transfer to another institution should be aware that each institution evaluates, accepts and applies transfer courses differently. In order to achieve the most efficient transfer of courses, students are encouraged to consult a counselor in the MCC Counseling and Career Services Office as well as contact the transfer advisor at the receiving institution as soon as possible after enrolling at MCC. Each institution may vary in regard to the minimum grade required for a course to transfer and in the number of credits that may transfer.
