Please note that some courses required in a Transfer Pathway may not be required for the MCC program. This could have financial aid implications. Students should meet with their advisor or with a transfer representative to discuss an academic plan and recommended sequence of courses.
Transfer Guide
Students interested in
this Competitive Transfer Pathway must complete an MCC program change request
and meet specific entrance requirements to be formally accepted.
For those accepted (as indicated by their MCC major): Continuous, full-time
enrollment (12 or more credit hours each semester) is required. Enrollment
and following the guide will increase the likelihood of acceptance. Student
contact information will be shared with the 4-year institution. Students
will complete the
Intent to Enroll Form
the semester before they intend to transfer.
If not accepted, students can still follow this guide and apply to
the UR using the Common Application.
All students are encouraged to meet with transfer staff at MCC and at the
transfer institution.
