I take classes at WCC during the summer instead of at Michigan mainly because of the price difference. … It just makes sense. WCC also offers a lot more flexibility with classes, which helps because I work full-time and volunteer over the summer. It’s also nice that there are smaller classes so I can get to know the instructor more easily.

In many cases, credits earned at WCC transfer to colleges and universities across Michigan and the United States. However, transfer policies vary by institution, program and major, so it’s important to confirm how a course will transfer before registering.
Each college or university determines how transfer credits apply to its degree requirements. For this reason, WCC recommends that visiting or guest students speak with an academic advisor at their home institution to confirm that the WCC course will count toward their degree program.
Many WCC courses are also part of the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA), which helps students transfer general education credits between Michigan community colleges and universities.
If you attend a Michigan college or university, you can also use the Michigan Transfer Network to check how courses may transfer between institutions. The Michigan Transfer Network allows students to search course equivalencies and see how credits from one college may transfer to another participating institution.
