Send Test Scores
While you may not have provided official SAT or ACT scores when you applied for admission, we recommend you submit official scores to be considered for increased scholarship values.
Your test scores will also be used for course placement when you decide to become a Husky.
File Your FAFSA
Begin your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)as early as October 1 and file by March 1 to be considered for the maximum amount of financial aid. Our Federal School Code is 002292.
File by January 1 to receive your financial aid package in February. FAFSAs processed after these dates will receive consideration for remaining aid. You can still file your FAFSA after March and receive a financial aid package.
| Semester | FAFSA to File | Begin to File | Due Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring 2027 | 2026-27 | As soon as possible | December 1, 2026 |
| Summer 2027 | 2026-27 | As soon as possible | April 1, 2027 |
| Fall 2027 | 2027-28 | October 1, 2026 | March 1, 2027 |
If you've already filed a FAFSA, but did not have the results sent to Michigan Tech, visit the Federal Student Aid website or call 800-433-3243 to have the results released to us.
While not required when you applied for admission, your Social Security number (SSN) is required for FAFSA filing purposes. Avoid delays in processing your FAFSA by providing your SSN through your Husky Portal. On the Financial Aid tab, enter your social security number in the section "Enter Your Social Security Number (SSN)."

Access Experience
While the Husky Portal is important for your enrollment process at Michigan Tech, you will also need to set up your Michigan Tech single sign-on (SSO) credentials and access Experience—both will be used throughout your time as a student for your email account, financial aid, class registration, billing, and more.
Step 1—Set up your SSO by following the instructions on the Enrollment tab in your Husky Portal
Step 2—Log in to Experience to check your Michigan Tech email, review your financial aid, and begin customizing your Experience cards.
Review Your
Financial Aid Package
Students who complete the FAFSA will receive a financial aid package that includes a breakdown of aid, costs, and information about how to accept your awards.

Final Transcripts
An official final transcript is required within 30 days of your high school graduation. Your final transcript will be reviewed by the Admissions Committee to verify continued academic success after the time of your acceptance to Michigan Tech. A significant decline in academic performance during your senior year may affect your enrollment status and, at the University's discretion, result in a revocation of your admission and any financial assistance awarded.
To be considered official, a transcript must be sent directly to Michigan Tech's Admissions Office by the institution issuing the transcript or from a transcript service such as Parchment. Transcripts stamped "issued to student" or those hand delivered, even if in a sealed envelope, are not acceptable.
High school seniors: Request your final transcript through Parchment or contact your high school upon graduation
and ask them to send us your official transcript showing your final grades and graduation
date.
Transfer students: When you have completed all of your coursework at your previous institution(s), contact
the registrar's office at each institution to request that an official transcript
with final grades be sent to Michigan Tech's Admissions Office. If you are using a
third-party transcript service, such as Parchment or National Student Clearinghouse,
please make sure to select "Admissions" as the destination.
