IRONWOOD AND MARQUETTE, MI— Gogebic Community College and Northern Michigan University have reached an articulation agreement designed to help transfer students get a bachelor’s degree.
In the direct admission program, GCC students will be admitted to NMU during their time at GCC. They will have access to academic and career advising, Lydia M. Olson Library privileges, a MyNMU account, an NMU email address, a free official transcript from GCC and access to campus events and student life activities.
Officials say the agreement serves as a bridge between the two institutions by facilitating student entry or re-entry into a bachelor's degree program at Northern, with the goal of increasing transfer student retention and graduation rates.
