General Notes
• A grade of C- or better is required for a course to transfer.
• A bachelor’s degree requires a minimum of 120 semester hours of credit. CMU will accept community college transfer
credits beyond the recommended 60 semester hours, however, students will need to complete a minimum of 60 semester hours from
an accredited 4-year-degree granting institution. A minimum of 40 hours must be completed at the 300 level or above. A minimum of
30 semester hours of credit must be earned from CMU.
• The University Program Requirements are fulfilled by students who satisfy the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA).
• Students are required to meet CMU Competency Requirements prior to reaching 56 credit hours or they must enroll in
remaining competencies in their first semester(s) at CMU if they have earned over 56 credits. Competency requirements
are listed on the first page of this guide and consist of: two Written English (composition) courses, one Oral English
(communication) course, and one Mathematics Competency course. Competencies must be completed with a grade of
“C” or above.
• Writing Intensive (WI) Requirements are taken at CMU. Students without MTA who have over 56 earned credits will
need to enroll in 2 of the 4 required Writing Intensive courses in their first semester(s) at CMU. Students with MTA
satisfied will have 6 credits WI waived and will need to complete the remaining 6 credits of WI at CMU.
Any remaining required and elective courses for a bachelor’s degree will be selected in consultation with an academic advisor to ensure that CMU
degree requirements are being met.
