Transfer Planning Resource

Thinking About Transferring? We Can Help.

Many students move between colleges and universities as their goals change. To support these transitions, Michigan has invested in statewide efforts to make the transfer process clearer and easier for students and families.

The Michigan Transfer Planning website, Michigan Transfer Network, helps you understand how your courses will transfer between Michigan colleges and universities. The site includes a searchable database of transferable courses, information on earning credit for industry credentials, and tools to explore transfer pathway options. It also includes a secure portal used by colleges and universities to manage transfer agreements.

Whether you’re planning your first transfer or returning to finish a degree, this resource can help you make informed decisions and stay on track.
