New Agreement Allows Washtenaw Community College Transfers To Receive Associate Degree With University Of Michigan Credits

Students who transfer from Washtenaw Community College to the University of Michigan can now use their U-M credits toward degrees from both schools. The two schools recently agreed to a reverse transfer policy, which allows students to transfer U-M credits back to WCC for the purpose of obtaining a degree or certification. The agreement applies to WCC students who transfer to U-M within 15 credits of obtaining an associate degree. The agreement benefits "hundreds of currently enrolled U-M students," according to Lester Monts, a U-M vice provost.
