Scratching BrainThe following are advising updates in preparation for Fall 2014 Registration. Advising Center Liaisons have been meeting with each academic department to provide more detailed updates and training. Should you have questions or need further training in your department, please feel free to contact your liaison.

MTA: The new Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) will take effect Fall 2014. Students who have attended NMC (continuously) prior to fall 2014  may still complete the MACRAO until the end of Summer 2019. Copies of a “draft” comparison between the  MTA and MACRAO,as well as a draft Group 1 list were sent to you via email and distributed in your area meetings by liaisons. For additional information on the MTA see the following links to the MTA website.

Important Dates:
  • Spring 2015 class schedule  viewable on March 12th.
  • Transfer Fair — March 19th, 10:00-2:00, Welcome Center.
  • State and Federal Internship Workshop — April 9th, 3:00-5:00, Osterlin.

GPA Calculator: See the improved GPA calculator at the following link: GPA Calculator. This resource assists students and advisors in estimating the upcoming semester’s GPA,(includes repeated courses).

New Math Formats: The Math Department will be offering new  format options for some of their courses. Format descriptions will be sent when finalized.

MAP (My Academic Plan): We have initiated a “soft release” of MAP to faculty advisors. Please continue to “test” MAP and provide feedback to Lisa Wilmeth. MAP will be launched to students in Fall 2014. If you did not attend a MAP training, please plan to attend an upcoming session. Additional dates will be sent soon.
