ESCANABA AND MARQUETTE, MI— An articulation agreement has been signed between Northern Michigan University and Bay de Noc Community College.

The agreement will support students from both institutions to ensure a seamless transition from Bay to NMU. Students enrolled at Bay and officially confirmed in the program will be admitted to Northern with a concurrent non-degree undergraduate student status.

Those confirmed in the program will be given the use of NMU facilities and services, including academic advising and an NMU email address. Officials say the program aims to eliminate barriers for transfer students, promote student wellbeing, increase baccalaureate degree attainment, improve academic program articulation, enhance transfer student connections to the NMU community, and utilize resources at both institutions efficiently and effectively.
