Transfer Guide for Delta College

This Transfer Guide shows how Delta classes can be used to fulfill the LSA General Degree Requirements for Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degrees.

View all transfer guides on the Community College Transfer Guides page.

Before using the guide please read through the following guidelines:

This guide is provided to help in your planning for transfer into LSA. The information in this guide is accurate as of May 1, 2024. Although there are not frequent changes to course articulations, the articulations are subject to change at the end of each semester. Therefore, students should check the official Transfer Credit Equivalency guide to make sure a class is still transferable for the term in which you plan to take it.
Note for current LSA students: Do not use this guide without confirming your course selections with your general academic advisor before registering for the class. Failure to do so may result in taking a class that does not fulfill the Area Distribution that you need.
Each class has been individually evaluated for LSA degree credit so the distribution area listed here might not match how the class is listed on the MTA list at your school.
Completion of the LSA General Degree Requirements is required for graduation with a B.A. or B.S. degree. Students are not required to have completed the General Requirements prior to transferring nor does completion of the General Requirements guarantee admission.
Additional courses may count for general degree requirements but are not included in this guide because they have not yet been evaluated.

LSA General Degree Requirements

Note: Courses that fulfill ULWR, RE, and QR can also count toward distribution if approved and not from the department of your major, e.g. PHY 111 counts for QR and Natural Science.

LSA Requirement	Delta courses that fulfill the requirement
First Year Writing (FYWR)	Complete one of *English (ENG)*: 112, 112H
Upper Level Writing (ULWR)	Must take at U-M
Race & Ethnicity (RE)	Take at U-M

Language: Achieve 4th term proficiency through course completion or placement exam	You can complete the LSA langauge requirement at Delta by completing 4 semesters in the following languages. *French:* FR 111, 112, 211, 212 *Spanish:* SPA 111, 112, 211, 212 The following language courses also transfer, but you will have to take a placement exam to determine where you would start the language sequence after you transfer. *American Sign Language:* ASL 111, 112, 211, 212 *German:* GE 111, 112, 211, 212 Completing lower level language courses does not guarantee placement at U-M.

Area Distribution Requirements
