MTA/MACRAO Transfer Agreement
The Michigan Transfer Agreement [MTA] and the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers [MACRAO] Transfer Agreement are designed to facilitate transfer from community colleges to baccalaureate colleges and universities.
Students who transfer to Grand Valley with the MTA/MACRAO approved associate of arts or science degree from a Michigan public community college have satisfied the Foundations of the General Education Program and one (1) Supplemental Writing Skills (SWS) course. Transfer students with a MTA/MACRAO are still required to complete the following requirements: one (1) SWS course in their major or college and the Capstone course in that major and the B.A. or B.S. degree requirement where applicable. In addition, transfer students with a MTA/MACRAO must also fulfill the following general education requirements: the two-course Cultures requirement and two (2) Issues courses.
Students should complete a MTA/MACRAO Audit at community college in order to get the MTA/MACRAO STAMP on the official transcript. Students are responsible for ordering official transcripts after completing courses at community college.
