MACRAO Agreement
Alpena Community College participates in the Michigan Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (MACRAO) Articulation Agreement between public and private community colleges and senior colleges in Michigan. This agreement provides ACC students more assurance of having completed their general education requirements when they transfer to a participating four-year college or university.

The MACRAO Articulation Agreement contains basic two-year requirements which are included in the Associate of Arts degree:

1. English Composition (six semester hours).
2. Natural Science (eight semester hours). At least one of the Natural Science courses will be a laboratory course. Mathematics is included in the Natural Science category. Courses will be taken in more than one academic discipline.
3. Social Science (eight semester hours). Courses will be taken in more than one academic discipline.
4. Humanities/Fine Arts (eight semester hours). Courses will be taken in more than one academic discipline, unless both HUM 241 and HUM 242 are completed.

Transcripts of ACC graduates who meet the MACRAO Agreement requirements and are awarded an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree will automatically be certified for the MACRAO Agreement. Students who transfer prior to the completion of a degree program but have completed the MACRAO requirements may also be certified upon request.

Associate of Science Degree programs can fulfill MACRAO requirements by taking required humanities and social science electives.
