Ferris accepts transfer courses in which the student earned a letter grade of “C” or better. Additional policies such as the Ferris Sunset and Residency Requirement should be discussed with a Ferris advisor. Students who are completing the MTA may have different general education course requirements for the particular degree selected. Meeting with a Ferris advisor prior to the selection of general education or elective course work may reduce the chance of completing a course that will not apply toward the selected degree. Students must work with their Ferris advisor to declare a Minor or Concentration and for selection of Directed Electives. Once admitted, students are required to complete an orientation and should continue to meet with an advisor as they work toward graduation. To schedule an appointment or for additional transfer resources and policies see our Transfer Resource page at xxx.xxxxxx.xxx/transfer/collegetransfer. *Indicates an approved Ferris course substitution Reverse Transfer Agreement Ferris has reserve transfer agreements with several Michigan Community College. Under such agreement, Ferris will provide your official University transcript to a partner school you have attended so that they MAY grant you an associate or bachelor degree upon completion of sufficient and appropriate credit hours from both institutions. In turn, the degree granting institution will provide Ferris with an updated transcript reflecting the newly earned credential. Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) Ferris participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). This agreement will facilitate the transfer of general education requirements from one Michigan institution to another. Students may complete the MTA as part of a degree program or as a stand-alone package. The MTA consists of a minimum of 30 general education credit hours as identified by the college or university. Students transferring to Ferris with the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) and entering a degree program will have met a 30-hour block of lower-level general education courses. However, this does not exempt students from completing program specific prerequisites or higher-level general education course requirements. Students should contact their advisor regarding classes that meet the MTA.
