Additional Information:
1. In completing the coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions should be
made with the guidance of the advisers (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. WCC courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Women’s and Gender Studies Major
or Minor.

Education Core Requirements and will be required to complete only the General Education Application

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 the “MTA Satisfied” endorsement sent to EMU’s Admissions Office. Students who do not have “MTA

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 WCC prior to September 2014 may follow the
MACRAO agreement until August 2019.
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 40 credit hours must
be completed at the four-year college level with at least 30 credits at EMU. Of the last 30 hours completed
before graduating, a minimum of 10 credit hours must be in courses offered by EMU. All program
requirements must be satisfied either in transfer courses or at 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. Washtenaw students will receive equal
consideration with other students for course registration and financial aid.
6. Students are encouraged to contact the Women’s and Gender Studies Department Head before applying for
admission to EMU. To facilitate advising and the evaluation of transcripts, sign up for this articulation
agreement using this link www.emich.edu/ccr/trackingsystem/Enter.php and bring a copy of this articulation
guide to all advising sessions.

be given three additional years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of this agreement. Students who enrolled
at Washtenaw Community College prior to the effective period may use this agreement.
