Completion of the SCTC General Education Requirement also completes the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). These credits can be transferred as a block of 30 General Education credits at any participating institution in the State of Michigan.
As of Fall 2014, the MTA agreement replaces the former Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (MACRAO) agreement.
More information on MACRAO/MTA can be found at www.macrao.org.
Students should check with their transfer institution regarding particular policies that may affect transferability.
