Transfer Checklist
TRANSFER THERE!
Transfer Checklist
It is never too early
to start thinking about
and planning for your
transfer to a 4-year
college or university.
Here are the action
steps necessary to
make it happen!
Step 1: Check out your intended institution. This can be done by exploring
the transfer guide (grcc.edu/transferguide), university websites, or other online resources
to identify appropriate transfer institutions based upon factors important to you, such as
available majors, location, size, cost, etc.
Step 2: Identify admission requirements for your institutional choice.
Additionally, determine whether there are secondary admission requirements for your
selected major.
Step 3: Meet with a Counselor or Advisor for further discussion of your plans.
Develop a game plan that will help you get where you want to go.
Step 4: Attend Departmental advising days within your major.
Step 5: Complete MTA (Michigan Transfer Agreement; catalog.grcc.edu/content.
php?catoid=7&navoid=238) or MACRAO (if eligible), as well as prerequisites for your major.
Step 6: Attend Transfer Fair during fall semester and 3-2-1 Transfer event
during winter semester to visit with representatives from a variety of transfer
colleges and universities, to find out more, and to collect information regarding the
transfer schools which interest you.
Step 7: Complete transfer applications (available online; paper copies may
be available in the GRCC Counseling and Career Center) and submit official college
transcripts (via Online Center) 6 to 12 months prior to your desired semester of entry,
paying close attention to deadlines, which may differ for each school.
Step 8: Complete scholarship applications. Cut-off dates may differ for
each scholarship.
Step 9: Complete FAFSA and other requested financial aid forms, paying close
attention to the deadline established by your transfer institution (this may vary by
institution, but is usually around March 1 for fall enrollment).
Step 10: Arrange for on- or off-campus housing (if needed).
Step 11: Attend a transfer orientation and meet with your major’s advisor.
Step 12: Submit a final transcript upon completing all GRCC courses.
Other Helpful Hints:
■The GRCC Counseling and Career Center hosts representatives from transfer institutions
throughout the year. Check the GRCC Transfer website to find out when your intended
schools will be on campus and visit with them! grcc.edu/transferschoolvisits
■If possible, visit the institutions you’re thinking about in-person!
■Admission, orientation, or other deposits/fees may be required. If this threatens to delay
your transfer, see a counselor or speak with admissions at your transfer school.

General Education for Transferability
TRANSFER INFORMATION
In order to verify transfer credits, students are responsible
for contacting the college or university to which they wish to
transfer. Each institution reserves the right to make changes in
transfer requirements without prior notification.
Students who plan to attend another college or university
should:
1.Utilize the GRCC Transfer Guide and online resources
such as the GRCC Counseling and Career Center web page.
The Michigan Transfer Network is also useful as an online
source to verify transferability and equivalencies.
2.Discuss transfer requirements with a GRCC counselor.
3.Confer with college representatives who visit GRCC.
4.Apply for transfer admission well in advance of the
anticipated date of transfer.
5.File a request with Student Records – Office of the Registrar
(1st floor Main) for an official transcript to be transmitted
to the transfer institution.
6.Be aware that the transfer institution reserves the right to
recalculate grades and grade point averages.
7.Request the Student Records Office to note that MTA
standards have been met, if applicable, on official
transcript.
Transferability
Although most colleges and universities accept credits
from other institutions that are accredited, not all courses
transfer everywhere. Since GRCC is institutionally accredited,
its credits are more likely to transfer. However, most receiving
institutions have certain grade requirements for transfer, and
they have the right to reject credits they don’t recognize. A
college of arts and sciences might not be willing to accept a
course in a field they do not teach—although some colleges
will accept “unrecognized” credits as elective credits.
Developmental courses (courses under 100 level) usually do
not transfer. The receiving institution decides if a GRCC
course will be considered developmental at that institution.
GRCC Counselors can help students explore the transferability
of particular courses. Students can also utilize the Michigan
Transfer Network.
Do All Colleges Teach the Same Courses
the Same Way?
Most colleges and universities offer some of the same
classes; for example, Freshman Composition, General
Psychology, College Algebra. Often the titles are not the same,
but there is a transfer equivalency—which means the content is
similar enough that one institution will transfer the course from
another institution. However, there is neither standard content,
nor standard method of teaching for all colleges. While some
states have agreements that courses at two-year colleges will
be the same as those of the same name or number at four-year
colleges, Michigan does not. Consequently, it’s possible
for what appears to be the same course, at two different
institutions to cover different material and to have different
styles of teaching. This diversity is one of the strengths of
higher education in the United States.
GENERAL EDUCATION FOR
TRANSFER STUDENTS
Virtually all colleges and universities require a variety of
courses in English, the humanities, mathematics, the biological
and physical sciences, and the social sciences. The sequence of
these courses is termed general education. General education
courses serve to broaden the intellectual background of the
average student regardless of the specific subject area in which
the student may be interested.
Typically, four-year colleges and universities have two
sets of requirements: (a) the general education requirements
which all students must fulfill and the majority of which are
taken during the freshman and sophomore years, and (b) the
requirements of a specialization, commonly known as the
major, the majority of which are taken during the junior and
senior years.
DETERMINING TRANSFER STATUS
WHAT is the Michigan Transfer Agreement
(MTA)?
The MTA provides transferability of up to 30 semester
credits to meet many of the General Education Requirements
at participating Michigan four-year colleges and universities.
Students may complete the requirements as part of the
Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degrees at GRCC
or as a stand-alone package. Once the MTA requirements are
met, the courses will transfer and be applied toward meeting
the general education requirements at the four year college or
university.
WHO is the MTA available for?
The MTA is available for students who started taking
classes at GRCC in fall 2014 and forward.
Please be sure that you: Have officially declared the correct
academic program at GRCC—any student who changes their
program starting in Fall 2014 will need to meet the new MTA
requirements. Students can change their major online at:
www.grcc.edu/studentrecords/changeofmajorform.
Meet with a GRCC Academic Advisor or Counselor if you
need assistance—students can change over to the MTA but will
need guidance to find out if this is the best option for them
If you need assistance, please schedule an appointment to
meet with a GRCC Academic Advisor or Counselor by calling
the GRCC Counseling & Career Center at (616) 234-3900.
Students are responsible for their own academic decisions,
so it’s important that they seek accurate information.
Students are responsible for contacting the transfer institution to verify listed information is current.

n EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY
(updated 2/15)
www.emich.edu
Grand Rapids Community College students whose
transcripts are endorsed as having satisfied MTA will only
be required to complete three EMU general education
requirements:
1)an approved quantitative reasoning course (unless waived
by ACT scores or taken as part of MTA);
2)a course in global awareness or U.S. diversity; and
3)one learning beyond the classroom course or experience.
Requirements one and two may be completed at the
community college or at EMU by selecting courses from
EMU’s approved General Education list. However, the learning
beyond the classroom requirement must be satisfied by an
EMU offered course or experience.
Students who do not satisfy MTA will be required to
complete all of EMU’s General Education requirements as
listed in the EMU Undergraduate Catalog.
The determination of courses that may be used to satisfy
MTA is made by Grand Rapids Community College. Students
should request a MTA evaluation of their transcript in the
GRCC Student Records - Office of the Registrar. Completion
of the MTA requirements does not guarantee that a student
has completed the requirements for an associate degree.
Some EMU programs/majors have requirements that
may be used to complete MTA. Students should obtain the
curriculum (or an articulation agreement if one exists) for your
chosen EMU program or major, before selecting courses. The
EMU catalog is available online at http://catalog.emich.edu
and articulation guides are available at www.emich.edu/ccr.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
nOnly courses with a grade of “C” or better (2.0 on a 4.0

n FERRIS STATE UNIVERSITY
(updated 2/15)
www.ferris.edu
Academic Affairs Policy
The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) consists of 30
lower-division general credit hours as identified by the college
or university granting the student’s MTA. Requirements for
the MTA may be completed as part of a degree program or
as a stand-alone package. The MTA pertains solely to general
education, and does not exempt students from meeting specific
prerequisite and/or course requirements for their degrees. Only
courses with a grade of “C” (2.0) or better will transfer.
Students transferring to Ferris State University with
the “MTA satisfied” endorsement will have satisfied all
general education requirements in the following areas:
Global Consciousness; Quantitative Skills; Race, Ethnicity,
and Gender; and Scientific Understanding. As noted in the
table, completion of MTA provides partial completion of the
Communication, Cultural Enrichment and Social Awareness
competency requirements. As part of the MTA, the student
either takes (1) one communication course and one composition
course, or (2) two composition courses. In Case 1, the student
needs to take two additional composition courses, one at the
300 level or an approved substitute. In case 2, the student needs
to take a communication course and a 300-level composition
course or an approved substitute. In some instances, as
approved by FSU, a student who has the “MTA Satisfied”
endorsement may have completed one or both requirements
prior to transfer. Specifically, it is possible for a student
to complete the upper level cultural and social awareness
competency requirements as a part of the MTA.
Many degrees require specific courses and prerequisite
courses that also count for FSU’s general education
requirements. Specific prerequisite and general education
degree requirements must be completed even if a student has
the “MTA Satisfied” endorsement.
Students eligible for reverse transfer who have met the MTA
requirements may request the “MTA Satisfied” endorsement
from their prior institution at the time the reverse transfer audit
takes place.
Ferris students pursuing the MTA should contact the Ferris
registrar’s office to request an MTA audit. Transcripts for
Ferris students that meet MTA will be updated to include the
“MTA Satisfied” endorsement on their transcript.
Students pursuing the MTA should check with their Ferris
advisor to ensure that the math class they are taking fits the
MTA as well as meets the Bachelor’s Degree requirement.
Advising Notes:
It is recommended that potential applicants meet with an
advisor to review the degree, course schedule, and have
different general education course requirements for the
particular degree selected. Meeting with a FSU advisor prior
to the selection of general education or elective course work
may reduce the chance of completing a course that will not
apply toward the selected degree.

n GRAND VALLEY STATE UNIVERSITY(updated 2/15)
www.gvsu.edu
Concurrent Enrollment Agreement: GRCC has
established a concurrent enrollment agreement with Grand
Valley State University (GVSU) so that students of both
institutions can make full use of the variety of courses offered
at both institutions. Through this agreement, students have
more scheduling options, more choice of course locations,
and many more courses available. Students may take courses
at both institutions simultaneously or alternate enrollment
between them.
It is strongly recommended that students see the GRCC
Counseling and Career Center for a list of courses that will
fulfill World Perspectives and U.S. Diversity electives.
Students are encouraged to complete the MTA prior to
transfer.
GVSU undergraduate degree requirements include
mathematics competence at the level of GRCC MA 107.
Students planning to transfer to GVSU should therefore
include that course in their GRCC course work.

www.millercollege.edu
THE ROBERT B. MILLER COLLEGE
Battle Creek, MI
Miller College is a senior-level institution offering degree
programs at the junior and senior level in formats and at times
convenient for students to attend.
Admission Policies
Collegiate work will be considered for transfer credit from
post-secondary institutions that are accredited by national or
regional accrediting organizations and that offer a bachelor’s
degree or associate’s degree, but no more than 90 credit hours
will apply to a degree. All credit awarded is considered based
on the original grades and that grade is used in calculating an
admission GPA. When courses have been repeated, only the
better grade is considered in calculating the admission GPA.
A student may be admitted to Miller College provided the
student has earned:
1. An associate’s degree; or
2.30 semester hours of college-level credit with a 2.0 grade
point average (GPA) on a 4.0 GPA scale.
NOTE: The Binda School of Education and the RN to BSN
programs require additional admission criteria. Please see
Miller College catalog program information for details.
Contact an admissions advisor for more information.
Each degree program at Miller College varies slightly in
its general education requirements. Please visit our website
for more detailed information on specific transfer guidelines:
www.millercollege.edu/admissions/transfer-guidelines.

*T
he Nurse Applicant Program permits potential RN students
to begin working toward the BSN degree while on the waiting
list for the RN program. This allows students to use their
time productively, earning up to 24 of the 45 credits required
toward the BSN degree while waiting to be admitted to the
RN program. It also prevents a break in financial aid while
being enrolled in as few or as many classes as desired, as it is
not a cohort program.

(2/14)
Transfer Students
Students may enter Northwood at any point in their college
career. Regardless of what path brings students to Northwood,
our admissions staff will help students apply the credits already
earned and the experiences already gained elsewhere into their
Northwood curriculum.
Which Kind of Transfer Student Are You?
Transfer students fall into two categories: Students who
have some college credits from an accredited college or
university, but do not have an associate degree. Students who
have earned an associate degree from an accredited community
college.
1. Transfers Who Will Not Have an Associate Degree Before
Transferring
An associate degree is not required to apply as a transfer
student to Northwood. If transferring after completing more
than two years at another school, Northwood requires transfer
students to complete at least 31 semester hours at Northwood.
A total of 123 semester hours are required for graduation.
Northwood does not require a two-year residency to graduate,
as many other schools do.
Northwood’s Registrar’s Office will review your school
transcript(s) to determine which courses will transfer and how
many credits will be accepted. Only courses with a “C” or
better will transfer.
2. Transfers with an Associate’s Degree
The completion of an associate degree is recommended
before transferring to Northwood. This ensures the transfer
of all associate degree course credits. Upon admission, junior
status is immediately received. Most schools cannot guarantee
junior status to students with an associate degree; Northwood
University does.
Transfer Course Equivalency Guides
Transfer Course Equivalency Guides (http://www.
northwood.edu/global/transferstudentcourseequivalencies/)
have already been created for all Michigan community
colleges. There is a guide for each community college that
shows what courses, and how many courses at that school, will
transfer to Northwood. These guides are not a comprehensive
list of every course that may transfer to Northwood University.
If you have a course not listed on the guide, be sure to check
with Northwood’s Transfer Coordinator to determine
transferability.
If you have a course not listed in the guide, be sure
to check with Northwood’s Registrar, Marisa Toschkoff at
[email protected] to determine transferability. If
you are considering transferring to Northwood, it is strongly
advised that you contact Admissions Advisor, Valisa Maki at
(616) 432-6092 or [email protected].

www.umich.edu
The University of Michigan –Ann Arbor welcomes
transfer applicants from community colleges, two- and fouryear colleges and universities. A transfer applicant is defined
as any student who has attended any institution of higher
education after high school graduation on any basis for any
period of time, or received a GED Certificate.
More than 1,200 transfer students enroll at the University
of Michigan each year. With over 3,000 transfer applications,
admission is competitive.
Transfer admission is specific to one of the twelve
undergraduate schools or colleges. Before you apply, you
must first decide which school or college is right for you.
Each school/college has unique deadlines and requirements
for admission. Exploring http://www.commcoll.umich.edu will
help you to prepare your academic credentials for successful
transfer to University of Michigan from a community college.
Students applying to transfer must be in good standing,
both academically and socially, at the institution(s) they have
attended. Admission to each one of the undergraduate schools
and colleges is competitive. Successful candidates will usually
present a strong record of college study, earning a cumulative
grade-point average of B (3.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better. The most
competitive students are those who have taken a challenging
curriculum in college, who have performed well in their classes,
and who would add to the academic diversity and excellence of
the student body.
Each school or college has different procedures and
requirements for transfer admission application. General
requirements include:

nQuestions regarding financial aid and scholarships should
be explored at www.finaid.umich.edu
n Requirements are a 2.0 GPA with 24 credits
nRequirements for specific schools and colleges (for
example, an art portfolio, an audition, etc.). We consider
much of the same criteria as we do during the review of a
first year student’s application, with academic performance
measured by college GPA and course work distribution
being the most important factors. All withdraws and
extenuating circumstances should be explained in the

Check the web site at www.wmich.edu/art. Admission
to any Bachelor of Fine Arts Program requires a portfolio
review. Students wishing to apply for admission to the B.F.A.
in Graphic Design, must submit a portfolio for review in the
winter semester of their Freshman year. The Graphic Design
Major in the B.F.A. program is sequential and must be started
in the Fall semester of sophomore year in order for students
to complete this program in four years. Students wishing to
pursue the B.F.A. in Art Education would ideally apply in
their fourth semester to begin the professional Art Education
courses in their fifth semester in order to complete their degree
in four years. Contact the Art Advising Office at (269) 387-2440
for portfolio review dates and guidelines.
The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art with an emphasis in either
Ceramics, Metals/Jewelry, Painting, Photography/Intermedia,
Printmaking, or Sculpture also requires successful portfolio
review and faculty recommendations. Portfolio reviews for
these programs occur every Fall and Spring Semester. Transfer
students may inquire about this program during their initial
advising session at WMU. Advisors at WMU are very willing
to talk with prospective transfer students at any time, the
earlier in their college career the better.
WMU recommends that all students, regardless of their area
of interest within Art, take beginning level courses in drawing,
design and art history.

n OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
(updated 2/15)
WMU offers a five year (4+1) program leading to two
degrees, a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Health
Services (HSV) and a Master of Science in Occupational
Therapy. This 4+1 program consists of four years of
undergraduate work and a fifth and final year (30 hours) of
graduate coursework.
Selection will be a competitive process to include completion
of prerequisite course work, a minimum cumulative grade
point average of 3.0, and the completed departmental
application. To be considered a competitive applicant, student
must spend a minimum of 40 clock hours shadowing up to
three occupational therapists (please note that no more than
3 experiences will be considered). These experiences must be
documented via a form included in the OT application. The
application deadlines are September 1 for Winter semester and
January 30 for Fall semester.
In order to move students toward their M.S. degree as
efficiently as possible, professional Occupational Therapy
courses will begin earlier in the new program. As a result,
transfer students are encouraged to apply for transfer after two
semesters with the prerequisite course requirements (below),
which will allow them to graduate in a timely fashion. Students
admitted to the OT track in HSV will move through the
program as a cohort, and those who successfully complete the
undergraduate portion are assured of admission to the graduate
degree program. Following graduation with the master’s degree,
a national certification examination must be passed before
entering into practice or engaging in advanced studies.
The following GRCC courses must be completed with
the grades processed by the WMU Admissions Office by the
published application deadline date. All grades must be a “C”
or better to apply: BI 101, BI 121, 122; PY 232; EN 101, or 102;
PY 201, 231. OT 202: Orientation to Occupational Therapy
at WMU is also required. OT 202 is offered via the web.
Call the WMU Admissions for details. The minimum GPA
for admission consideration is 3.0.
It is important that students consult the occupational
therapy transfer advisor to determine admission procedure
and criteria, and for other pre-admission planning. High
school preparation recommended: college preparatory
curriculum. For details regarding the application process,
see the WMU Occupational Therapy website: www.wmich.edu/
hhs/ot/index.htm.
Electives should be taken to fulfill the distribution and
graduation requirements at GRCC and WMU.

Making a Difference
Kuyper College is focused on effectively equipping students to make a difference in
God’s world. And they are doing so successfully, as they use what they’ve learned at
Kuyper to make an impact in the lives of others for Christ.
Extraordinary Results
As social workers, pastors, teachers, accountants, radio and video producers, aid workers,
and in many other professions, our graduates are helping to build God’s Kingdom in the
U.S. and in more than 50 countries around the globe.
Academic and Biblical Integration
Plus Spiritual Maturity
At Kuyper, we center the Bible in the academic experience of our students through the
integration of a high-quality academic curriculum and a biblical worldview. This helps
them become knowledgeable and spiritually mature, and develop the ability to see,
understand and live all of life through the lens of Scripture.
It is all of this, plus the results-driven
commitment of our students to serve
others, which makes Kuyper College unique.
