Macomb to Oakland University transfer equivalencies

Are there any specific course equivalencies for transferring from Macomb Community College to Oakland University? I'm worried about how my credits will match, and I'd like to have a clear understanding before I transfer.

Yes, Oakland University has a standing agreement with Macomb Community College, making the transfer process relatively straightforward. To ensure your credits will transfer, refer to the published "Transfer Equivalency Guide" on Oakland University’s website. This guide is intended to show how classes at your current institution will transfer to Oakland University.

Here's an example: If you took English 101 at Macomb Community College and according to the Transfer Equivalency Guide, it matches with WRT 1060 at Oakland University, it means the two courses are equivalent, and you'll receive credit for having taken WRT 1060.

Please note that while many general education classes will transfer directly, it can be trickier with major-specific classes, especially in more specialized fields. Some courses may transfer as electives, which can still count towards your total credit hours needed for graduation but won't fulfill specific core or major requirements.

You can double-check these on a case-by-case basis with your academic advisor at Oakland University for a more accurate and comprehensive credit evaluation.

Remember, even if a course is listed as equivalent in the guide, you might still need to earn a minimum grade for the credits to transfer. Most institutions require a grade of C or higher.

Also, remember to apply for the transfer credits to be evaluated as soon as possible. The evaluation process could take a couple of weeks, and you would want to have it done before you register for classes.
