I transferred in University Chemistry I, but have “TW credit” for University Chemistry I Recitation, CH1153. What does this mean?

Tuesday, January 29th, 2013

The TW means that the credit for this course has been “transfer waived”. You did not receive credit for the recitation class, so you will need to make up the missing credit with something else.  See your academic advisor for course approval and to have the adjustment made to your online degree audit.

Can I transfer in the UN classes?

Wednesday, November 14th, 2012

Yes, you can transfer in the UN (University Wide) gen ed classes.  The equivalent courses are as follows:

UN 1001 Perspectives – English comp 1

UN 1002 World Cultures – World history, Cultural Anthropology, Comparative religion, or Western civilization

UN 2001 Composition – English comp 2

UN 2002 Institutions – Economics, Macroeconomics, Political science, American government, or Sociology

It is *extremely* important that you contact Transfer Services in the Registrar’s Office to verify that the course will transfer the way that you intend before you take the course.  You will need to provide the name of the school that you plan to attend and a copy of the course description for verification.  For more information regarding transferring classes, go to the Registrar’s Office webpage and click on Transfer Services.

I have transfer credit for the wrong Physics!

Dear Advisors,


For many years the physics department has worked with students who for various reasons (transfer credit, AP credit, etc) might have credit for College Physics (PH1110 and PH1210 and the labs), but need credit for calculus-based University Physics (PH2100 PH2200).  In order to better serve more students and assist their advisors, we have developed proficiency exams for PH2100 and PH2200, along with a policy statement and a request form.

If you advise students who need PH2100 and/or PH2200 and who might already have credit for the “wrong” physics, please see the attached documents.  Through our new system, students will no longer need to wait till finals week to be able to take a proficiency exam, which we hope will make planning easier for them and for the advisors.  Please contact me if you have any questions.


Sincerely,
John Jaszczak
Physics Undergraduate Studies Committee

Is there a standard course plan for a transfer student?

Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

It is possible to transfer to Michigan Tech Chemical Engineering from a community college or from another university.  A standard path for this would be to take two years of college work at that other institution followed by a summer at Michigan Tech and then the usual junior and senior years of chemical engineering at Michigan Tech.  The two summer classes that must be taken are:

  • CM2110 Fundamentals of Chemical Engineering I
  • CM2120 Fundamentals of Chemical Engieering II

These two classes are prerequisites to junior classes in chemical engineering and they must be completed before you may begin your junior year in chemical engineering.  It is not possible to take these two classes at the same time as junior classes.  For this reason, students who wish to graduate with two years of transfer credit must plan on either three years at Michigan Tech or they must take these two courses the summer before they start Michigan Tech junior classes in chemical engineering.

The standard transfer plan, as discussed above, is available on our handouts page.

I am a new transfer student. Do I need to meet with an advisor?

Wednesday, January 11th, 2012

Yes!  We strongly encourage all incoming transfer students to meet with an advisor. We use this time to review transfer credit and to develop an expected graduation date based on remaining degree requirements, scheduling and prerequisite constraints, and your individual goals.

Walk-in office hours for new transfer students are scheduled during the fall transfer student orientation, which is held the Friday before fall classes start.  The transfer student orientation is highly recommended.  If you are not able to attend during this time or are transferring in during the spring or summer semesters, email cmadvise@mtu.edu to schedule an in-person or phone appointment with an advisor.
