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
UR using the Common Application.
All students are encouraged to meet with transfer staff at MCC and at the
transfer institution.
Note the following:
- College
Now or other Dual Enrollment courses: College coursework taught in high
school will NOT be granted transfer credit at UR. See UR
transfer credit policies.
- AP, IB,
CLEP, & Transfer courses: Credits showing as accepted by MCC may not
be transferable. See AP
Policies
and IB
Policies.
Contact UR with questions.
- The general transfer
credit policy requires a C or better for credit to be awarded. All chemistry
courses must be completed with a grade of B or higher for UR. ENG 200 must
be a B or better to fulfill Rochester's writing requirement.
- The MCC code EN02 is
the base program for EN01 students. Students following Biomedical, Chemical,
or Computer & Electrical engineering will need course substitutions
applied to EN02 at time of registration in order to meet financial aid
and graduation requirements. Students should consult with the Engineering
department and their Success Coach.
- Chemical and Biomedical
engineering majors require taking courses at UR while at MCC. This is called
Cross Registration. There is no additional tuition cost for this. Students
must take at least 12 credits at MCC to qualify for this.
- Students may want to
take courses in the summer or an additional semester at MCC due to the
rigor of coursework needed.
- Read additional UR
specific notes at the bottom of this page.
