The Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) facilitates the transfer of students from community colleges to four-year colleges and universities in Michigan. By carefully choosing courses, you may obtain an associate degree from LMC and complete the MTA; however, you do not need to obtain a degree in order to earn the MTA designation.

If you would like to request the Michigan Transfer Agreement endorsement, you should review your MTA audit in DegreeWorks via your Student Profile. Once those requirements are met, submit the request form.
