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.

Before taking the class, check into the course requirements, including internet access, exam proctors, etc.
