3/12/18 MAC has made changes to the AA & 42 hour block program to meet new state guidelines. The new AA forms include Core42 (the 42 hr gen ed block), so there are no longer two separate forms. In order to guarantee transferability between all public institutions in Missouri, courses must have a MOTR number. For details: https://dhe.mo.gov/core42.php
Students who are "in process" on a degree plan should not worry because there will be a transition period, even though the new degree plan takes effect FA18. More changes will be announced soon regarding tuition rates for next school year and the "42 Hr Gen Ed Block Scholarship" (it may sound scary at first, but it is a good thing); I will post and email when details are finalized on the district's end.
