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. Courses indicated with an
* are required for EMU’s Nursing Completion Program.
Students whose transcripts are endorsed as “MACRAO Satisfied” will only be required to meet three of EMU’s general
education requirements, noted on the articulation guide and listed below. These may be completed at the most
convenient time for the student, whether before or after admission to EMU.
a) an approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MATH 119, 121, or 130 at LCC] or MATH 110 at EMU]
b) an approved course in Global Awareness or US Diversity: [PHIL 211 or 212 at LCC]
c) an approved Learning Beyond the Classroom course or experience offered by EMU. [NURS 451]
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.
Only courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) will be accepted for transfer to EMU.
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.
Students should apply to both EMU and the School of Nursing RN/BSN Completion Option. The application for
admission to EMU may be accessed from the EMU Office of Admissions website. Students must submit transcripts
from all previously attended colleges. Students who speak English as a second language must submit a TOEFL or
MELAB score that meets EMU requirements.
The Application for Admission to the RN/BSN Option may be accessed from the School of Nursing website at
www.emich.edu/nursing/appForms.html Students must comply with the program requirements in effect at the time of
admission to the program. Current admission requirements include:
 An EMU student identification number,
 Submission of an application to the RN/BSN completion option,
 Current unrestricted license to practice as a registered nurse,
 Minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale),
 Minimum grade of 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale) in a college-level English Composition course,
 Designation on application of first and second choices for site preference for coursework.
 Priority for admission into the RN/BSN Option will be given to applicants who have completed EMU”s general education
requirements or are MACRAO satisfied.
The RN/BSN Completion Option Coordinator will work with you to assist in exploration of degree requirements and
evaluation of your application for admission. Copies of the articulation guide are available on EMU’s webpage at
www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide.php
To facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this articulation agreement when
applying to EMU and bring a copy of this guide to all advising sessions.
Effective Dates: September 1, 2010 until August 31, 2014. This agreement has been extended through August 2014. It is a
renewal of an agreement made in August 2004 and renewed 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 this agreement.
