Transferring Classes to Michigan Tech

If you are going to take classes elsewhere, make sure that the course(s) will transfer to Michigan Tech as the course(s) you need BEFORE you take the class.

Transfer Credits

1) Check for the course on the Transfer Equivalency System.

2) If the course you want is NOT on the Transfer Credit Equivalency list, you may request to have it evaluated by sending information to the Michigan Tech Transfer Services Office.

Required Information for Transfer Evaluation

University or college name
Course ID and title
Course Catalog Description
Additional information may be required:

  • Syllabus including
  • Textbook(s) used
  • Detailed Description
  • Course Outline

3) Transferring:

a) Register for the course (for other Michigan colleges, use the Guest Application),
b) Earn a grade of “C” or better (the grade will not transfer, but the credit will), and
c) Have your official transcripts sent to Michigan Tech:

Houghton, MI 49931-1295

4) Prereqs: If any course you plan to take off campus is a prerequisite for your next semester on campus, you will need to notify Transfer Services (Ms. Nancy Gagnon, transfer@mtu.edu). She will then enter a prerequisite waiver to prevent any course scheduling issues.

5)  On-line courses may sound easier since you can approach the class in your own time. Though this is true for some classes, on-line classes also require self-motivation and a time commitment on your part. Before taking the class, check into the course requirements, including internet access, exam proctors, etc.

Spring 2015 Registration

Hunting Classes

Registration will open October 31st, 10:00 pm through November 16th, midnight. If you have questions regarding what classes to take, you should make an appointment to meet with your academic advisor.

Registration typically opens each night at 10:00 pm. Due to the large number of students, some days will have two start times, 10:00 pm and 11:00 pm. To find out what day and time you register please check your registration time in BanWeb.

Priority is based on the number of credits earned at the time of registration. This does not include the number of credits the student is currently taking. Students may register anytime on or after their scheduled day. The web will be unavailable for registration from 2:00–2:30 am each day.

Registration closes at midnight Sunday, November 16th and reopens again later December. Students with questions or problems should contact me via email or by appointment.
