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.

all previously attended colleges. Students who speak English as a second language must submit a TOEFL or MELAB
score that meets EMU requirements.
