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 at both institutions (indicated below) to assure that all requirements
are satisfied. Each institution will determine the satisfaction of their individual program and degree
requirements. WCC courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Public Safety Administration
Program.
2. Students whose transcripts are endorsed as “MACRAO Satisfied” by the community college will only be
required to satisfy three of EMU’s general education requirements, noted on this guide and listed below.
These requirements may be completed at the most appropriate time for the student whether before or after
admission to EMU.
a) an approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MTH 160 at WCC] or [approved QR course at EMU]
c) a course in Perspectives on a Diverse World: [SOC 205 at WCC] or [ANTH 214 at EMU]
d) a Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) course or experience offered by EMU: [PLSC 488 or other
approved LBC course/experience at EMU]
To use MACRAO, students must request that an official community college transcript, with the “MACRAO
Satisfied” stamp, be sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students, who do not have “MACRAO Satisfied” on
their community college transcript, will be required to satisfy EMU’s general education requirements as
listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. The MACRAO stamp may be completed after admission to EMU,
however, students should inform advisors at EMU that they intend to complete MACRAO, or they may be
advised to complete additional courses for the general education program.
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 in EMU courses, 15 hours of which must be in major/program requirements at the 300-level or
above. Of the last 30 hours completed before graduation, a minimum of 10 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 admission to EMU, including submitting
transcripts from all previously attended colleges.
6. Students are encouraged to meet with the EMU Public Safety Administration Adviser early, before applying
to EMU. To facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this articulation
agreement on their application, and bring a copy of this guide to all advising sessions. Copies of this
agreement are available at www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php.
Effective Dates: September 1, 2010 until August 31, 2013.
This agreement is extended until August 31, 2015. This is a renewal of an agreement made in September 2007.
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 started the program will be
given three additional years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of the agreement.
