Schools Accepting MacMurray Transfer Students

MacMurray has worked to create agreements, or Memorandums of Understanding, with seven small, private institutions similar to Mac to help our students through the transfer process; however, when the announcement about the College's closure was made, numerous other colleges reached out with their contact information in order to give our students more options for their degree completion.

Read the list of over 30 institutions as well as their contact information for Admission.

How to Obtain a Transcript

How to Obtain a Diploma

MacMurray is no longer able to assure that we can deliver replacement diplomas before our closure and therefore must stop accepting orders for them. Our printer, Josten's, puts delivery time into June given the ongoing COVID-19 disruptions and states that orders may be delayed past that time.

If we can make alternative arrangements for replacement diplomas after we close, that will be publicized.

We regret the inconvenience incumbent in this situation.
