Transfer & Articulation

Articulation

Articulation agreements are formal signed agreements between colleges and universities so students can be sure that what they take at Glen Oaks Community College will meet the program requirements of where they transfer. We strongly recommend that you contact your advisor to ensure you are on the right path to meet your educational goals.

Articulation Agreements for Glen Oaks can be found in our Academic Catalog.

The Michigan Transfer Agreement

The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) exists to facilitate the transfer of courses from one public institution in Michigan to another. To fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement, students must successfully complete at least 30 credits, with at least a 2.0 in each course and at least one credit completed at the institution awarding the MTA. These credits should be met according to the following distribution:

One course in English Composition
A second course in English Composition or 1 course in Communications
One course in Mathematics from one of three pathways: Pathway to Calculus (includes College Algebra), Statistics or Quantitative Reasoning
Two courses in Social Sciences (from two disciplines)
Two courses in Humanities and Fine Arts (from two disciplines, excluding studio and performance classes)
Two courses in Natural Sciences including one with laboratory experience (from two disciplines)

The MTA is incorporated into the the Associate of Arts, Associate of Business, and the Associate of Science degrees at GOCC (Board Policy 3.36)

For more information on fulfilling the Michigan Transfer Agreement requirements, check out the MTA section of our catalog or refer to the MACRAO Articulation handbook.

Transfer Guides

Transfer Guides are the “maps” that students intending to transfer to a four-year institution should be following. Typically, transfer institutions have Transfer Guides for specific majors, as well as general Transfer Guides for those students who may still be undecided or are planning to transfer to a four-year institution after completing their General Education requirements at Glen Oaks. Glen Oaks Advisors are available to help transfer students narrow down transfer programs and institutions, as well as interpret specific Transfer Guides.

Below are transfer institutions that currently have Transfer Guides available “online.” Select the transfer institution below and then select the program (Transfer Guide) that you wish. These Transfer Guides are in a PDF format which allows students to print a hard copies.Students are always encouraged to check directly with the target transfer institution to get the most up-to-date and accurate information.
