HFCC President Gail Mee and 蹤獲扦-Dearborn Chancellor Daniel Little sign a reverse transfer agreement
With more than 400 students annually transferring from HFCC to 蹤獲扦-Dearborn, this new program creates a process that allows students who have earned a minimum of 30 credits at both schools and met GPA requirements to earn a general studies associate degree. Most associate degrees require 60-72 credits for completion.
"When I transferred to 蹤獲扦-Dearborn, I didn't completely realize the importance of an associate degree. I'm excited to go through the process of receiving the associate degree that I've earned so that I have one more credential to stand out," said Erika Lynch, senior, health policy studies, 蹤獲扦-Dearborn.
This new agreement marks a well-established partnership between HFCC and 蹤獲扦-Dearborn. 蹤獲扦-Dearborn and HFCC have a shared commitment to the success of our students, which this agreement further demonstrates, said Daniel Little, chancellor, 蹤獲扦-Dearborn. He added that the signing of this reverse transfer agreement will continue to extend enriching opportunities to HFCC students who choose to join the 蹤獲扦-Dearborn community. It is our hope that this partnership will facilitate students in adding to their academic credentials, thereby increasing their readiness for their future careers.
Leaders from both institutions joined together to celebrate the agreement during a special signing ceremony. Gail Mee, president of HFCC, believes this agreement will further deepen the relationship between the two institutions while providing opportunities for students to earn additional academic credentials.
We are very pleased to partner with 蹤獲扦-Dearborn on this important agreement and look forward to many more years of collaboration as we continue to pursue efforts to ensure student success.
This is the second Reverse Transfer agreement for 蹤獲扦-Dearborn. The first was developed with Schoolcraft College in June 2012. For more information visit the Reverse Transfer page. As directed by the State of Michigan in Public Act 62, other Michigan community colleges and universities have recently signed similar agreements to provide a seamless transfer experience and increase student retention and degree completion at both levels.
