Additional Information:
1. In completing the coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions should
be made with the guidance of the advisors (indicated below) at both institutions to assure that all
requirements are satisfied. Each institution will determine the satisfaction of their individual program and
degree requirements. OCC courses with an * are required for EMU’s Applied Technology Program.
2. Students with an MTA endorsement on their community college transcript have satisfied EMU’s General
Education Core Requirements and will be required to complete only the General Education Application
Requirements of one Perspectives on a Diverse World course, one Learning beyond the Classroom experience,
and a Writing Intensive course in the major. The Perspectives on a Diverse World requirement may be satisfied at
the community college as part of the MTA requirements.
To use the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), students must have an official community college transcript,
with a “MTA Satisfied” endorsement sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students who do not have “MTA
Satisfied” on their community college transcript, will be required to satisfy EMU’s general education
requirements as listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. The MTA may be completed after admission to EMU,
however, students should inform advisors or they may be advised to complete additional courses for the general
education program. Students who enrolled at OCC prior to September 2014 may follow the MACRAO agreement.
3. Only courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) will be accepted for transfer to EMU.
4. Under this agreement, EMU will waive the 60-hour rule and require that a minimum of 30 credit hours must
be completed at EMU, 15 hours of which must be in program requirements at the 300-level or above. Of the
last 30 hours completed before graduating, a minimum of 10 credit hours must be in courses offered by
EMU. A minimum of 124 credit hours, completed in-residence or accepted in transfer, is required for
graduation.
5. Students must meet all admission requirements at the time of application for admission to EMU, including
submitting transcripts from all previously attended colleges. OCC students will receive equal consideration
with other students for course registration and financial aid.
6. Students are encouraged to contact the Applied Technology Program Coordinator early, before applying to
EMU. To facilitate the evaluation of transfer credit, students should indicate they are using this articulation
agreement on their EMU admission application, and bring a copy of this guide to all advising sessions.
Copies of the articulation guide are available on EMU’s webpage at www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php
Effective Dates: September 1, 2014 until August 31, 2017
This is a renewal of an agreement made in May 2006, renewed in September 2009, and extended in September
2012. Students who began this program prior to the new effective date have the option of changing to this guide.
If this agreement is not renewed at the end of the effective period, students who already began the program at
Oakland Community College will have an additional three years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of the
agreement.
