Mission
MACRAO (The Michigan Association of
Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers) is organized to provide for the
exchange of information concerning issues of interest to it's members and to contribute to
the advancement of education in Michigan.
The association, through an annual conference, other workshops and seminars and contacts with educational leaders and other professional associations in the state, strives to provide professional development opportunities for it's members as well as provide a forum for discussion and the exchange of ideas.
Goals and Accomplishments
MACRAO Agreement
One of the significant accomplishments of the association is the "MACRAO Agreement". this agreement, designed to facilitate transfer from community colleges to baccalaureate colleges and universities, provides for transferability of up to 30 semester credits to meet many (in some cases all) of the general education requirements at the four-year colleges. Students may complete the MACRAO agreement as part of an associate degree or as a stand-alone package.
Michigan College Mall
It is in the spirit of cooperation and the goal of facilitating the transfer process that MACRAO has developed the Michigan College Mall. Colleges and Universities are encouraged to establish a link on their home page to the Michigan College Mall which has links to all MACRAO member institutions who have a Web page. The association sees the Michigan College Mall as the first step in facilitating on-line transfer equivalency in the state of Michigan and is working with several other professional associations toward this goal.
