It is highly recommended that you complete the MACRAO agreement prior to transferring from Jackson Community College.  Additionally, students having met the MACRAO agreement and 58 completed credit hours will be accepted as having fulfilled the freshman and sophomore GENERAL EDUCATION requirements unless otherwise specified by a particular major.  Students not completing the MACRAO Agreement or with questions regarding General Education required for their major should contact Spring Arbor University at (517) 750-6468 or stop by the McDivitt Hall University Center, room 124.

**Because a specific statistics software program is taught and used at SAU, it is recommended that students take Statistics at Spring Arbor University rather than transferring it from another college.  JCC's MTH 131 or higher or 2 years of high school algebra is the prerequisite for Statistics.

NOTE:  CIS 101 at JCC also meets a requirement for the Biology major at SAU. A grade of 2.0 is required for credits to transfer. A minimum of 124 hours is required for completion of the degree.  A maximum of 68 credit hours from JCC may be transferred to meet the requirements for the degree at SAU.
