Applying to your online program at Michigan Tech is both free (there is no application fee!) easy, and relatively fast. You don't need to upload any test (GRE or GMAT) scores. You also don't require any official transcripts to start the application process; you can upload those later.
Also, if you're not an online graduate student, but another type of student taking online courses, please consult the relevant tabs How It Works. Or check out the resources in the right sidebar menu.
Important note: To apply to an online graduate program (certificate, master's degree, doctoral degree) or take non-degree seeking classes, you must
- have already earned at least an undergraduate (bachelor's) degree
- be a US citizen, permanent resident, currently in the US on a valid visa, Canadian citizen, Canadian permanent resident, or Australian citizen

Gathering and Uploading Your Materials: More Information
After you have started your online application, it is time to begin gathering your materials and uploading them to the Application Portal (Step Three above). There are two levels or categories of required materials: those of the Graduate School and those of your designated online program.
Typically, programs do not begin reviewing your application until it is complete.
