Eastern Michigan University – BS in Simulation, Animation, & Gaming
Additional Information:
1. In completing the coordinated program of study for this articulation agreement, course substitutions may be
made with the guidance of the advisors (indicated below) at both institutions to assure that all requirements
are satisfied. Courses indicated with an * are required for EMU’s Simulation, Animation & Gaming Program.
2. 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 requirements
may be completed, as listed in the guide, at the most appropriate time for the student whether before or after
admission to EMU.
a) an approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: [MTH 176 at Washtenaw]
b) an approved course in Global Awareness or US Diversity: [Humanities: ART 143, 150; COM 225; DAN 180; ENG
181, 213, 214, 224, 242, 281; HUM 145, 150, 175; MUS 180; Social Science: ANT 201; ECO 280; GEO 101; HST 123, 150, 230,
235, 240, 270; PLS 211; PSY 107; SOC 205 at Washtenaw]
c) an approved Learning Beyond the Classroom course or experience offered by EMU: [see COSC 486 or see
EMU Program Coordinator for options.]
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 33 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. Washtenaw students will receive equal
consideration with other students for course registration and financial aid.
6. Students are encouraged to contact the Simulation, Animation & Gaming Program Coordinator early, before
applying to EMU. To facilitate the evaluation of transcripts, students should indicate they are using this
articulation agreement on their EMU admission application and should 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, 2012 until August 31, 2015.
If this agreement is not renewed at the end of the effective period, students who have already begun the program
at WCC will have an additional three years to be admitted to EMU under the terms of this agreement. Students,
who began WCC’s program prior to the effective date, may use this agreement.
