NOTES:
1. This transfer guide supports an Articulation (partnership) Agreement
between Lansing Community College (LCC) and Eastern Michigan University (EMU)
which facilitates the transfer of up to 79 credits to EMU'a Bachelor of
Science in Elementary Education. Courses included on this guide can be
completed at either the LCC downtown or Livingston Center campus. To
facilitate the evaluation of transfer credits, students should include
a copy of this transfer guide, as well as the EMU version of the articulation
agreement available online at http://www.emich.edu/ccr/artguide_new.htm.
Transfer students must also bring a copy of the articulation agreement with
them to any meetings with EMU academic advisors.
Students should attend an EMU Elementary Education group advising session
prior to completing an admission application to EMU. Group advising schedule
is at http://www.emich.edu/coe/students/undergraduate/advising/index.html.
2. Eastern Michigan University (EMU) honors the MACRAO Transfer Agreement.
Students whose transcripts are endorsed as "MACRAO Satisfied" will only be
required to meet three EMU general education requirements. The following
requirements may be completed at the most appropriate time for the student,
whether before or after enrollment at EMU:
a. an approved course in Quantitative Reasoning: MATH 202 at LCC or MATH 110E
at EMU
b. an approved course in Perspectives on a Diverse World: GEOG 220 at LCC or
GEOG 110 at EMU.
c. an approved Learning Beyond the Classroom course/experience at EMU:
EDUC 492 at EMU.
To use MACRAO, students should request a MACRAO evaluation of their tran-
script from the LCC Academic Advising Center. Students who do not satisfy
MACRAO are required to complete the EMU General Education Requirements.
3. Only courses with a grade of 2.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale) will be accepted
in transfer to EMU.
