Online Resources

The US Department of Education's website provides a variety of information on higher education, with topics including financial aid and career planning. Listed below are just a few of the numerous online resources available to you and your student to help prepare for the Michigan Tech experience.

Michigan Tech has partnered with Student Health 101 to give students, parents, and family members up-to-date information on many common college health issues. Because family is an essential support system for students, we hope that you are having conversations with your Michigan Tech student about their health and wellness-related decision making. The parent edition of the Student Health 101 Newsletter, The Parent Perspective, is a resource that can help you become an informed partner and share essential information with your student.
