5 Mission Statement and Statement of Strategy GRCC Music Academic Information MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the Music Department is to: 1. Provide an excellent music education. 2. Encourage and nurture creativity and appreciation in all areas of musicianship. 3. Enhance lives through quality musical experience. 4. Further the evolution and development of the arts, through faculty member contributions to their discipline. We work to accomplish our mission by placing a high value on: 1. a Mission and Vision Driven by our Students Expectations Our success depends on how effectively we meet the needs of our students as we develop the listening tools necessary to gather and understand their different perspectives. Their expressed expectations inevitably form part of an ongoing discussion and refinement of the mission and vision. We work to ensure that faculty understand the music unit s mission, goals and direction, and can use their understanding to inform their individual work goals and decision-making strategies. 2. The Role of Arts in Society We believe the arts to be of primary importance to the survival of the civilization, to the health of the society, and to the quality of life of each individual member. We believe art is not just entertainment; not just a luxury; not just a pleasant past-time; not just momentary gratification; not just activity for the elite. The experience of art allows us to participate in the universal creative process, open hearts and minds, awaken feelings and brings delight and joy. There is no culture without the arts. 3. Music Education and the Student We believe that the creative process is fulfilling and gratifying when emphasis is placed on freedom of expression. In the struggle to create, we seek to foster: Opportunities for individual self-expression The development of artistic growth and specific artistic skills An understanding of the creative process that can be used in all walks of life The expression of one s inner vision and personal truth Appreciation for the musical art The development of ethics and the ability to recognize what is necessary for creative integrity The building of self-confidence The joy of communication, and the fulfillment and gratification that can come when artistic works are performed 4. A Learning-Centered Culture We believe that we can best accomplish our mission when not only the process of student learning is a major focus in all institutional thinking, but also when personal learning by the faculty, staff, and administrators is a major focus as well. Through this we create: An empathetic atmosphere in which students are of primary importance An understanding of, and appreciation for, the different learning styles of students A broad environment that allows students to participate in a variety of musical experiences The ultimate goal of this student-oriented process is to foster appreciation, artistic growth and development. This, in turn, can lead to significant artistic production. STATEMENT OF STRATEGY We seek to accomplish our mission by the following strategies: I. Serving Students We provide a learning environment that fosters and nourishes creative thought and provides students the opportunity to: A. Develop the skills needed to acquire employment in their discipline B. Develop the skills needed to transfer to other educational institutions C. Use the arts disciplines to develop life skills (e.g. critical and creative thinking) II. Serving the Community We support the musical arts in the greater Grand Rapids community and help create demand for this art form by: A. Contributing our experience to the community B. Building and developing community music organizations and participating in the network of these community organizations C. Providing opportunities for community members to practice and develop their musical art D. Providing information to the community as an arts resource E. Sponsoring and delivering workshops that are open to the community F. Providing music education to K-12 school districts G. Presenting numerous student, faculty, and guest artist concerts and recitals, both on campus and in a variety of settings throughout the community. III. Furthering Music as a Discipline As professional musicians, we contribute to the development of our discipline by: A. Actively participating as professionals in the community B. Engaging in opportunities for professional development GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY College MUSIC DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK/

6 GRCC Music Academic Information Music Major Logistics MUSIC MAJOR LOGISTICS History of the Music Center The music department is housed in the Music Center, a brick and masonry structure that was constructed in 1922 as a physical education building. The building continued to be used in its original purpose first by Strong Junior High School and then Grand Rapids Junior College until 1976 when the Ford Field House was completed. The building stood vacant for three years until it was determined structurally sound for conversion into other educational uses. Renovation work began in September 1979, and was completed in August 1980, allowing the Music Department to move into its newly adapted facility. Like the entire GRCC campus, the Music Center is a smoke free environment. Eating and drinking are allowed in the student lounge area within the Music Center, but never in any room that has a computer or a piano. The Music Center faculty and staff are dedicated to providing the best educational environment possible and are very proud of our facilities. We therefore expect that all persons who use the Music Center to do so with great care and respect. Practice Rooms The Music Center provides thirteen practice rooms for students use. All practice rooms are equipped with a piano and a music stand and they are available free of charge. Our current enrollment dictates that practice room use be scheduled each semester by filling out the practice room schedule card posted on each practice room door. There are specific practice rooms for percussion, and piano majors. In addition, piano majors may schedule the use of the concert grand piano to rehearse for recitals and juries. Music majors will practice at least two hours each day on their primary instrument. Music Laboratories The Music Center houses three Music Laboratories that are an essential part of our students learning. The Music Lab, located in room 133, is a twenty-one-station Music Processing/Audio Recording lab. Each station is equipped with a state of the art imac computer and compatible keyboard controllers, as well as headphones and inputs for microphones and electric instruments. Students use the lab for music processing, ear training and digital recording/sequencing. Students may also use the Music lab for required listening in their Music History and Music Appreciation courses. The Music Lab also houses the Smart Music Computer Cart which can be moved into any practice room and used as accompaniment for student rehearsal. The Piano Lab, located in room 206, is used primarily for Piano Techniques. This lab contains twelve digital piano workstations, and a teacher s console. This lab enables the instructor to work with students individually or in groups. Open lab tutorial is scheduled in this lab each week. The Recording Technology Lab is located in room 204 of the Music Center. The lab contains five digital audio workstations and shares space with the Recording Technology classroom and Recording Studio. Hours of Operation Monday-Thursday...7:00 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday...7:00 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Weekend:...Determined by course offerings Concert and Recital Attendance All students who are enrolled in applied music are required to attend at least five concerts each semester. You will attend three types of concerts: 1. A classical concert is, for example, one presented by the Grand Rapids Symphony Orchestra or Opera Grand Rapids. Other examples might be a recital presented by faculty members from GRCC or another college/ university in the area. 2. A pop or jazz concert is a presentation held at the arena or The B.O.B., for instance. The GRCC Jazz Night concerts or similar concerts presented at other universities would also work well for this genre. 3. An educational concert is any performance presented by the GRCC choral or instrumental ensembles and those of any other college or university. Sophomore recitals at GRCC and Junior/Senior Recitals at our transfer institutions would also fulfill this requirement. You will compose three scholarly essays: Students who are studying Applied Music and enrolled in Performance Class are required to write three scholarly essays each semester discussing three of the concerts that they attend. These papers require that the student research the performers, repertoire, conductor and genre being presented so that the paper becomes more than just a subjective statement of the author s likes and dislikes about the concert. Instructions for preparing these papers will be discussed and presented to music students at the first meeting of Performance Class each semester. College-Owned Instruments Music majors and minors who play large or exotic instruments may be assigned to one of the college owned instruments for use in any of the college ensembles. These instruments will be issued to students free of charge throughout the period of time that they are enrolled in that ensemble. Students must complete an instrument use form that is available in the main music office and will be held responsible for the returned condition of the instrument. Academic Honesty Grand Rapids Community College holds to high ideals of academic and personal honesty and expects every student to do likewise. Dishonest acts such as cheating, lying, and plagiarism will not be tolerated. The policy of the College is such that each instructor, department or division shall create classroom policies for dealing with academic dishonesty that will best help the offenders. The academic grievance procedure may be used by students who feel they have been treated unfairly. 4 GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY College MUSIC DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK/

8 GRCC Music Academic Information The Associate in Music Degree THE ASSOCIATE IN MUSIC DEGREE MUSIC REQUIREMENTS All music courses must be passed with the grade of C or better. Remedial Course Requirements Prior to registering for any music course, all prospective music majors must complete the music theory pre-test, aural acuity test, and piano placement test. The results of these tests will indicate whether the student is permitted to begin with college level courses or if remedial courses in music theory and piano are required. Students who do not pass the pre-tests will take the following courses prior to enrolling in college level theory, aural comprehension, piano techniques or recording studio classes: MUS 112 Basic Music Theory MUS 120 Introduction to Piano Students with no previous musical experience may be required to complete MUS 099 Basic Music Immersion, prior to enrolling in MUS 112 and MUS 120. This course is only offered late in the summer semester. Audition and Placement Information Freshman Auditions are scheduled individually by appointment. All incoming freshmen music majors will be evaluated on their principal-applied instrument/voice during the freshman evaluation. Applied levels will be determined at this time. Audition Workshop: This workshop is open to all high school juniors and seniors considering a degree in music. All incoming freshman music majors must register for the Audition Workshop. See Website at grcc.edu/music/auditions/audition-workshop-and-careerguide Guitar Major Specific: Students who declare Guitar as their Applied Major will be enrolled in MUS 134 Classical Guitar Class 1 for their first semester. A successful classical guitar audition may allow a student to begin applied study immediately. Voice Major Specific: Students who declare Voice as their Applied Major will be enrolled in MUS 131 Group Vocal Techniques for their first semester. A successful voice audition may allow a student to begin applied study immediately. MUSIC THEORY (Includes Aural Comprehension) 16 Credits 18 Credits (Music Merchandising/Recording Technology) The theory program at GRCC is designed to provide music majors with an understanding of musical literacy that will allow them to perform at a higher level in their area of applied study. Music theory also prepares students to compose and arrange music so that other musicians can play what they have written. The theory sequence begins with MUS 112 Basic Music Theory for those students who lack the fundamental building blocks such as an ability to read notes on a staff, or an understanding of key signatures and time signatures. MUS 112 prepares the serious music major for the in-depth study of music analysis and counterpoint that is presented in MUS 113. It is important to note that MUS 112 does not fulfill any requirement for the Associate in Music Degree. Successful completion of MUS 112 with the grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 113. You must take the music theory pretest to establish placement in either MUS 112 or MUS 113. MUS 113 Introduction to Music Theory 1, begins with a review of the fundamentals covered in MUS 112, but then goes far beyond with a study of music composition using the format of species counterpoint. Students will also study figured base and triad inversion. MUS 115 Aural Comprehension 1 is taken concurrently with MUS 113. Students will begin to learn basic concepts of ear training, sight-singing, and dictation within the classroom and the Music Laboratory. Aural recognition of intervals, chords, rhythmic patterns as well as harmonic and melodic sequences will enable students to begin writing the music that they hear. MUS 114 Introduction to Music Theory 2 is a continuation of the material covered in MUS 113. Successful completion of MUS 113 with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 114. Within the MUS 114 structure, students are given the opportunity to master species counterpoint as well as analyze music written by famous composers. Students are encouraged to copy these techniques and use them in their compositions. MUS 116 Aural Comprehension 2 is taken concurrently with MUS 114. A continued emphasis is placed on ear training, sight-singing, and dictation with additional computer assisted instruction using the Music Laboratory. Students who are pursuing a degree emphasis in Recording Technology or Music Merchandising will meet their theory and aural comprehension requirements by completing the above coursework. MUS 213 Advanced Music Theory 1 begins with the study of tonal counterpoint culminating in an examination of the fugue and other common applications of eighteenth century polyphonic compositional techniques. The continuing study of the development of chromatic harmony in the common practice period, which was begun in the freshman year, includes the introduction of augmented sixth chords, Neapolitan sixth chords, altered dominants, chromatic mediants, and various kinds of modulation. All of this is assimilated by the student through extensive analysis of well-known compositions and regular assignments in four-part chorale style writing. The study of compositional techniques for both instruments and voices includes considerations of texture, timbre, blend and contrast of sound and the necessary transposition for instruments. This subject leads to the analysis of longer forms in music, such as variation forms, sonata form, and rondo. Successful completion of MUS 114 with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 213. MUS 215 Aural Comprehension 3 is taken concurrently with MUS 213 and consists of intensive drill in sight singing and ear training. Sight-singing is done using solfege syllables, and also includes work with atonal melodies. Ear training includes harmonic, melodic and rhythmic dictation, and 6 GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY College MUSIC DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK/

9 Applied Music Policy GRCC Music Academic Information chord recognition. Successful completion of MUS 116 with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 215. MUS 214 Advanced Music Theory 2 follows the development of traditional harmony to its ultimate complexity and the eventual breakdown of tonality. The process of analysis is expanded to allow the study of post-romantic and Impressionistic music. The remainder of the semester is devoted to twentieth-century music, including the various styles of tonal composition, the beginnings of atonal music, the wide variety of later compositional methods using serial and aleatoric techniques, and the newer developments using digital and computer technology. Successful completion of MUS 213 with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 214. MUS 216 Aural Comprehension 4 is taken concurrently with MUS 214 and continues with more advanced study of the skills learned in MUS 215. Successful completion of MUS 215 with a grade of C or better is a prerequisite for MUS 216. All music theory classes are facilitated and enhanced with computer assisted instruction in the Music Laboratory using state-of-the-art computers and controllers for ear training and for experience in basic composition, sequencing, and computer notation. MUSIC HISTORY 9 Credits Music History is a three-semester sequence which traces the development of Western Art Music from antiquity to the present. It does so by looking at important composers and musical developments in the broader context of the artistic, political, social, and intellectual conditions which influenced them. MUS 251 (WINTER) begins with Antiquity and concludes at the end of the Baroque era. MUS 252 (FALL) begins with Pre-Classicism and continues through early and middle Romanticism. MUS 253 (WINTER) begins with the late nineteenth century and continues to the present. Special emphasis is placed on depicting the developments in American music as they occurred within the Western European tradition. The achievements of African-American and Women composers are also included. Students who are pursuing a degree emphasis in Recording Technology or Music Merchandising are not required to complete the music history sequence. APPLIED MUSIC PRINCIPAL At Least 8 Credits At Least 4 Credits (Music Merchandising/Recording Technology) Applied Music is the sequence of private study on the student s principal instrument/voice. MUS is precollege level applied study. Students with no previous formal applied training may be required to complete multiple semesters of pre-college level applied study. MUS161, MUS 162, MUS 261 and MUS 262 correspond to the four required levels of applied study during the first two years of college. Students will be placed at the appropriate applied level following their audition. Each student is responsible for completing 13, one-hour private lessons during the semester. Each applied music student will be charged an applied music fee of $350 in addition to the regular 2-contact hour tuition. At the end of each semester the student will perform a jury exam (final exam performance) that demonstrates their semester progress. The MUS 162 Jury (Freshman Hearing) will be performed for the entire music faculty. (See Applied Music Policy IV) MUS must be completed for the AM degree curriculum codes 206, 207, 208, 209, and 210. Students who are pursuing a degree emphasis in Recording Technology or Music Merchandising must complete the Applied Requirements for MUS only. APPLIED MUSIC SECONDARY 0 Credits Required This applied music area is for students who wish to study an instrument/voice for their own musical enjoyment and musical development, or as a substitute for Piano Techniques. MUS 143, MUS 144, MUS 243, and MUS 244 Applied Music, require thirteen, one-half hour lessons during the semester. Guitar majors will study jazz guitar as an applied secondary. Each student is responsible for completing 13, one half hour private lessons during the semester. Each applied music student will be charged an applied music fee of $175 in addition to the regular one contact hour tuition. At the end of each semester the student will perform a jury exam (final exam performance) that demonstrates their semester progress. No credits in applied secondary are required for the AM degree. APPLIED MUSIC POLICY I. Student Information Applied Lesson scheduling will be finalized when students meet with the applied faculty on the first Thursday of each semester. These lessons will be scheduled at a time agreed upon by both the student and the instructor. Most applied lessons will be taught on the GRCC campus in the Music Center. In addition to tuition, an applied music fee will be charged to each student. The amount is $350 for applied music principal and $175 for applied music secondary. Students are to be prompt and consistent in their attendance at lesson appointments. If the student must miss a lesson for a legitimate reason, he/she is obligated to give the instructor twenty-four hours advanced notification. Lessons missed by the student are to be made up at the convenience of the instructor however; the instructor is not obligated to make up a lesson that is missed by a student. Students who miss three or more lessons during the semester will not pass their applied level. GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY College MUSIC DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK/

10 GRCC Music Academic Information Applied Performance Class II. Applied Instructor Information MUS Performance Class is a required course for all students studying privately for credit. This class is specifically designed for students in the applied music program. The adjunct instructor is encouraged to attend when their students perform. The instructor is encouraged to report student progress to the full-time music faculty members who teach the applied performance class. Lessons missed by the instructor are to be made up at the convenience of the student and agreed to within the week of the lesson missed. All students must receive 13 lessons each semester. Students who miss three or more lessons will fail applied music. Pre-College Level Study (MUS ) requires an hour lesson each week and two hours of practice/applied study each day. Major study (MUS 161, MUS 162, MUS 261 and MUS 262) requires an hour lesson each week and two hours of practice/applied study each day. Minor study (MUS 141, MUS 142, MUS 143, MUS 144, MUS 243, and MUS 244,) requires a half-hour lesson each week and one hour of practice/applied study each day. The applied instructor will pick literature for study during each semester, which is appropriate to the applied music level in which the student is enrolled. Please read the Applied Instructor Handbook for more detailed information. III. Performance All applied music students must be enrolled in MUS Performance Class concurrently and are required to perform in the class during the semester. Your Performance Class instructor will determine the number of required performances. Literature performed in class must be material the student is currently studying in their applied lessons. All instrumentalists and vocalists must rehearse with the staff accompanist prior to their performance. The accompanist must be given a sufficient amount of time to prepare adequately for a musical and artistic performance. IV. Jury Exams Jury exams are held at the end of each semester. The instructor must participate in the jury exam to recommend a grade and subsequent applied music level for the student. Jury exams for MUS /161, 261 and 262 are performed for the faculty teaching in the student s applied area. (If the student is enrolled in MUS 262 a sophomore recital may be performed in lieu of a jury exam. See Sophomore Recitals) If the student is enrolled in MUS 162, a Freshman Hearing will be performed. The Freshman Hearing will determine whether the student is ready to be placed at sophomore standing. This exam is performed for the entire faculty and performance in music academic subjects may influence the jury outcome. If after 2 attempts a student has still not passed the 162 jury, it is advisable that the student consult with the applied instructor and music department head to assess the potential for success as a music major. Sight-Reading will be required at all major-level juries. Students will be introduced to the specific form of sightreading that is required for each applied level. IV. Sophomore Recitals Recitals are not a requirement for graduation; however we do recommend that students who are expecting to transfer to a senior institution prepare a recital. Students who choose to perform a sophomore recital will follow the procedure listed below: Submit the Recital Permission Form at your MUS 261 performance jury. This will normally be in the semester prior to your expected recital. The form must be signed by your applied instructor and on file in the Music Office to begin the process. Perform a Recital Hearing for the music faculty during the first quarter of the semester of your expected recital. Your applied instructor must be present for this hearing. All of the material being performed on the recital must be presented at this hearing. If the student is approved for a recital no substitutions or additions of repertoire may occur after this point. The sophomore recital is performed in lieu of the MUS 262 Jury and the faculty who are present at the recital will award the grade. Complete the Recital Checklist Form. This form is available in the Music Office. The music faculty will encourage all music majors to be in attendance at sophomore recitals. We feel that it is important that music students support each other in their musical pursuits and that they acknowledge the effort and hard work required in preparing a recital. APPLIED PERFORMANCE CLASS At Least 4 Credits MUS are individual performance classes, which must be taken concurrently with any Applied Music class. This class is divided into four areas: instrumental, vocal, piano, and guitar. Each student will be expected to perform in class on the instrument/voice that is taken for study in the Applied Music program. Performance Class will discuss practice routines and habits, technical and stylistic problems, musical memorization, and pedagogical concerns. Three scholarly essays, reviewing three required concerts, will be written for Performance Class and turned into the instructors according to the published schedule. PIANO TECHNIQUES 4 Credits The Piano Techniques classes - MUS 121, MUS 122, MUS 221, and MUS 222 are a four-semester sequence that equips the music major to perform early intermediate piano repertoire and a number of basic functional keyboard skills in preparation for the piano proficiency exam. In MUS 121 and MUS 122, the student learns to apply their music reading skills to the keyboard through graded repertoire and sight-reading. Scales, arpeggios, chords and inversions improve technical skills while harmonization with primary and secondary chords and simple transpositions help to link keyboard with music theory. In MUS 221 and MUS 222, the above areas are explored in greater depth. Harmonization includes a variety of accompaniment styles, seventh chords, secondary dominants, 8 GRAND RAPIDS COMMUNITY College MUSIC DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK/

11 Non-Music Electives GRCC Music Academic Information and jazz harmonies. The level of difficulty is increased in repertoire, transposition, and technical requirements. The student is introduced to simple solo accompaniments that are performed with other class members. PIANO TECHNIQUES (For Recording Technology Majors) 3 Credits Students who are pursuing the Associate in Music Degree with an emphasis in Recording Technology and who begin piano study with MUS 120 Introduction to Piano may fulfill their requirement by completing the following piano sequence: MUS 120, MUS 121, and MUS 122. Major ENSEMBLE REQUIREMENT At Least 4 Credits There are numerous ensembles offered each semester with various styles of music being studied and performed. Music majors are required to perform in one major ensemble each semester. The major ensembles are MUS 189 College Choir, MUS 194 Campus Band, MUS 195 Concert Choir, MUS 196 Orchestra, MUS 197 Wind Ensemble and MUS 198 Guitar Ensemble. All GRCC students may take any college ensemble for credit; but some ensembles do require an audition. Performance in a major ensemble is a requirement for scholarship recipients. RECORDING TECHNOLOGY SPECIFIC 20 Credits The four-semester course sequence in Recording Technology begins with two semesters of Basic Recording Techniques 1 and 2: MUS 173 and MUS 174 respectively. These courses will provide the student with the fundamentals of the recording arts including basic audio signal and acoustics theory, recording consoles, microphone design and technique, signal processing, multi-track studio production technique, digital audio technology using the Pro Tools format and its integration into music production. The sequence continues with Advanced Studio Techniques 1 and 2: MUS 273 and MUS 275 respectively.

12 GRCC Music Academic Information The MACRAO Option The MACRAO Option The Michigan Association of College Registrars and Admissions Officers (MACRAO) promoted the adoption of an agreement to facilitate the transfer of students from community colleges to senior colleges and universities. The intent of the agreement is to ensure a common understanding and agreement among signatory institutions as to general education requirements. The agreement provides that a student who receives the Associate of Arts degree from GRCC, and who is accepted as a transfer student by a signatory senior college or university, would not be required to pursue further freshman or sophomore level general education requirements at the signatory four-year college or university. The Associate in Music 2-year option will allow the student to complete the music requirements that most sophomores should have, while completing two-thirds of the general education requirements. An alternative to transferring with course deficiencies in general education classes is the Associate in Arts Degree, with the major in music, 3-year option. This option would allow the student to complete the Associate in Arts degree, with the MACRAO stamp and also complete the 45 hours of music required to successfully transfer with the music skills needed to be considered at the junior level. Whether the student transfers at junior level is contingent upon many factors. Grades in classes are not the least of these. Although the grade of D in non-music classes will count at GRCC toward graduation, they will not transfer. Students who achieve A/B work at GRCC, stand a good chance of transferring at the junior level. (This means in each music class.) Grades below this will mean that students may transfer at the sophomore or freshman levels. Prior to transfer, most schools will require a battery of examinations. These examinations will take place in the areas of music theory, applied music, piano, and occasionally music history. Upon completion of these exams, the transfer institution will determine the level of each student. GRCC grades below A/B will usually mean transferring below the junior level. GRCC/GVSU Articulation Agreement Students who wish to transfer to GVSU will complete either the Associate in Music degree or the AA in Music Degree. After performing a successful audition, all music and non- music classes will transfer. No pretests will be required. Music Therapy Majors Students transferring to Western Michigan University for Music Therapy will not be required to take additional applied music if they complete the Associate in Arts in Music degree. (The Associate In Music with the MACRAO STAMP) These students should plan to take MUS 133, Beginning Guitar and TH 116, Tap Dance while at GRCC. Students will need to complete Introduction to Music Therapy during the first semester of transfer to Western Michigan University. Music therapy Majors will also complete two additional piano courses that are required for their major while attending Western Michigan University.

14 GRCC Music Academic Information Associate in Arts Degree with MACRAO Page 2 of 2 MACRAO is not a guarantee of credit transfer! See a GRCC Counselor/Advisor for more information. Many students come to GRCC to begin their academic path to a Bachelor s degree, and choose classes that will transfer to four-year institutions. Will all your courses transfer? Four-year schools determine the transferability of any course and not all classes transfer. The GRCC Counseling and Career Center can help you identify these courses. Detailed equivalency guides are available from many schools within the state of Michigan and GRCC Counselors/Advisors can help you make sense of these guides. Most of GRCC s primary transfer institutions have their equivalencies online at their institutional website at Students can also use the Michigan Transfer Network to view transfer course equivalencies between many Michigan colleges and universities. MACRAO stands for Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and is generally referred to as the MACRAO agreement. The MACRAO Agreement is a contract between community colleges and most four-year institutions in Michigan. Fulfilling the credits in the subject areas required by the MACRAO agreement will satisfy the general education requirements at many Michigan colleges and universities. Your transcript is then marked as having met the MACRAO standards. Since all schools may have conditions in place with acceptance of the MACRAO, it still remains a good idea to meet with GRCC Counselors/Advisors to receive specific advice to help you make informed choices. Regarding MACRAO, keep in mind: 1. Some transfer institutions will only accept the MACRAO agreement if it is part of an entire Associate degree. Other institutions may honor the MACRAO agreement without a degree. 2. There may be additional requirements at your chosen transfer school. Commonly, these requirements are associated with a junior level writing requirement or a course of writing within your major. 3. Upon admission, some institutions may still require a competency test in certain areas. 4. Some institutions have specific majors that require additional courses and tests prior to being admitted to that major. Your best source for learning the requirements from four-year schools: GRCC Counselors/Advisors! To receive the best advice possible, be clear in explaining your intentions. Also, meet with advisors at fouryear colleges to learn more about the requirements you should complete during your years at GRCC. As a student you are responsible for your academic decisions, so it s important to seek accurate information. As you approach your GRCC degree completion, official notification must be made with a Graduation Audit through the Student Records Office located on the first floor Main Building. General Graduation Requirements: Complete at least 62 credits of course work Complete at least 15 credits of course work at GRCC Have earned a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 in all course work Have completed each of the following: 1 credit Wellness (WE); maximum of 2 WE credits within 62 degree credits 3 credits PS credits of English composition (EN) 100 or 101 and 102 Have MACRAO Group Distributions completed Effective Fall of 2011, new students to GRCC will not receive degree credits for developmental courses. Developmental courses at GRCC are those below 100 level. CO 3, EN 97, MA 95, 96, 97, 98, MU 99, PY 97, RD 97, 98. Returning students (enrolled prior to Fall 2011) will be grandfathered under the current policy and will be allowed to count these credits toward a degree. 12 This handout was prepared by: Counseling, Advising & Retention Services 143 Bostwick Avenue NE Grand Rapids, Michigan (616) FAX (616) Grand Rapids Community College is an equal opportunity institution.
