General Transfer Studies (MACRAO)

St. Clair County Community College Catalog
2010-11 Edition

Program Code: CERTR
CERTIFICATE
Student Success Center (810) 989-5520

The General Transfer Studies Certificate program is intended for students who wish to transfer to a four-year college or university after completing one year of coursework at SC4. Completion of this certificate program will satisfy the MACRAO requirements (a transfer agreement in the state of Michigan that assists students with the transferability of general education requirements). Required courses are flexible and may be customized to meet the needs of the student based upon the transfer institution requirements. Most transfer institutions will accept a minimum of 60 credit hours from SC4; therefore students are encouraged to take additional courses beyond the Transfer Certificate requirements. Students seeking the Transfer Certificate must work closely with the transfer school of choice as well as an SC4 advisor to help ensure the appropriate courses are taken at SC4.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This program is intended for students wishing to complete coursework at SC4 before transferring to another college/university.

In addition, students should work closely with an SC4 Advisor in the Student Success Center.
