CMU does not require a minimum number of credit hours before you may transfer. If your transcripts from a Michigan community college show that you have completed the MACRAO Agreement, you have satisfied CMU's 30-semester-hour University Program general education requirements. If you have completed fewer than 30 semester hours, we will request that you forward your official high school transcripts along with your admission application.
Courses awarded a grade of C- or higher are transferable to Central Michigan University. Grades and honor points for course work are not officially recorded when the courses are transferred. An official, course-by-course evaluation of transfer credit is completed after acceptance to CMU. An admissions representative can provide you with an unofficial transfer credit evaluation.

CMU's Honors Program is one of Michigan's oldest, founded in 1961. CMU honors students enjoy smaller classes, more personal contact with faculty, dedicated academic advising, and more opportunities to explore their academic interests through research and special projects.
For more information about how to join CMU’s Honors Program, click here.
General education at CMU consists of two areas of liberal study and achievement, University Program and Competency Requirements, which are required of all students. A liberal undergraduate education serves as preparation for a thoughtful life and service to the community, as a source of learning from which all other university work must draw and to that work must contribute, and as an opportunity to identify intellectual interests by exploring a variety of disciplines and categories of human knowledge.
The University Program requires at least 27-30 semester hours of coursework in Humanities, Natural Sciences, Social Sciences, and Integrative and Area Studies.
CMU expects its graduates to be competent in written English, oral English, and mathematics. All students must demonstrate their competency as detailed in the Competency Requirements.
You will receive a CMU bulletin during your visit to campus. Feel free to view our online bulletin prior to your visit.
Undergraduate students select from more than 150 programs. To view a complete list of undergraduate majors click here .
CMU students are required to sign a major by the time they earn 56 semester hours of credit, which is generally a student's junior year. Once decided, a student contacts their respective departments to sign their major/minor with a member of that department's faculty. Should a student change their mind concerning their field of study, they simply sign the "new" major/minor. The 56-hour policy also applies to new transfer students.
Both our CMU faculty members and general Academic Advisors are happy to assist students with decisions surrounding choice of a college major/minor.

COSTS, SCHOLARSHIPS, & FINANCIAL AID |

CMU offers one of the best educational values in Michigan. Tuition rates for the current school year are listed here.
Students who choose to live in the residence halls have the opportunity to pay their room and board in four payments per semester to ease financial burdens. The payment schedule for the current school year is listed here.
For the Fall 2009 semester, tuition for in-state freshmen and new transfer students will be $339 per credit hour. Out-of-state tuition for freshmen and new transfer students will be $789 per credit hour. Generally, an individual must document one year of continual physical presence in the state as only one of the criteria for determining eligibility for resident status. The year to be documented will be one year immediately preceding the first day of classes of the term in question. The year of continuous presence is never the only criterion used for determining resident eligibility and, in itself, will not qualify a student for resident status.
To overcome a presumption of non-resident status, a student must file a properly completed Application for Resident Status and document with clear and convincing evidence that a Michigan domicile has been established. The university reserves the right to audit enrolled or prospective students at any time with regard to eligibility for resident classification and to reclassify students who are registered under an improper resident status.
The Application for Resident Status must be received before the seventh day after the first day of classes during the semester or term in which the individual is first enrolled at CMU.

* Click Question To View Answer *
Central Michigan University’s campus residency policy requires that freshmen and sophomore students live in a residence hall. Students who have completed four full-time undergraduate semesters may live in housing of their choice. The sophomore requirement has been waived for the 2008-2009 academic year except for students who are recipients of CMU merit-and talent-based scholarships with a dollar value equal to or greater than $1,500. These students will be required to reside on campus during their sophomore year.
Many lifelong friendships are formed when people live together in a residence hall community. All residence halls are conveniently located on the main campus and are easily accessible to all academic buildings and athletic facilities.
Living on campus puts students at the center of campus life—close to classes, professors, and academic resources. Nearly 6,000 students live in CMU's 22 residence halls, which are among the nicest in the nation. Three new residence halls, Campbell, Kesseler, and Kulhavi, opened in 2003, providing 714 students with apartment style living. Each hall complex includes an academic adviser's office, a 24-hour computer lab and a fitness center. Residence hall suites have separate bedrooms, study areas and bathrooms. Individual rooms are wired for high-speed Internet access. On campus apartments are also available.
Click here to learn more about these great opportunities.
A very limited number of rooms have been designated for single occupancy. These rooms are rented at the single room rate of one and one-half times the regular room rate.
If you wish to have a specific roommate, both of you must request each other on application materials. We cannot guarantee residence hall preferences or roommate requests, but we honor them whenever possible. For a better chance of living together, it is best to return roommate applications together.
We begin making housing assignments in the late spring. The first assignments are made to students whose applications arrive in our office first, and we continue to make housing assignments as applications are received.
A residential college provides a residence hall floor for serious students to share not only a living space but also a true community feeling, complete with classroom and study areas.

New students are welcome to bring vehicles to campus. CMU, however is very much a pedestrian campus. It takes approximately 25 minutes to walk across the campus. It is roughly a ten minute walk from our residence halls to our academic buildings. All transfer students and incoming freshmen are encouraged to pre-register their vehicles.
The four residential restaurants located throughout the campus provide dining services for students living in the residence halls and off-campus. Flexibility in dining options is available to students through diverse meal plans and multifaceted venues for the use of FLEX Dollars. Off-campus students may enroll in a voluntary dining membership, with a choice of seven options. All students can purchase additional FLEX Dollars.
Extended dining hours accommodate class schedules, and a wide variety of food is served with an "all you care to eat" policy.
