Frequently Asked Questions
1
What if I wanted to change majors?
Many college students change their major during their college careers. Changing majors
and transferring between departments is not unusual. You can find a list of academic
advisors on the Registrar's Office website. Set up a meeting with your new major's advisor to learn more.
Current students can request to change their major through your MyMichiganTech.
New incoming first-year students who wish to change their major before arriving on
campus can email Admissions, mtu4u@mtu.edu. They will be able to adjust your major for you.

I encountered an error while trying to register for a course. What should I do?

I want to transfer course credit to Michigan Tech! What do I do?
Make sure you talk with your advisor about your degree plan and how transfer courses
could apply to your degree before you enroll in a course at another school. Be mindful of Michigan Tech's Graduation Residency Policy. Visit our Transfer Services website to read related policies and agreements.
You can plan your transfer credits by using the Transfer Equivalency System. You can search by schools and subject. This lists only includes courses that other
students have taken and transferred to Michigan Tech, so it will not include every
course offered at the school!
If you want to transfer a course that is not listed, then you will have to get a syllabus
for that course (either from that school's website or by emailing the school/instructor
to request one) to have it evaluated by Michigan Tech. Send a copy of the syllabus
to transfer@mtu.edu to have it evaluated. This process can take a few weeks, so plan ahead!
Once you have planned the courses you wish to transfer. You can apply as a guest student at the school where you plan to take the course. You must earn a C or higher to transfer
the credit to Michigan Tech. Please send your official transcript to our Transfer
Services.
