Admissions Questions
May I mail my required documents, rather than uploading them?
No.
All materials required for the application process must be uploaded to your MyMichiganTech.
Hardcopies of official transcripts will be reviewed and scanned, but will not be physically
retained. Any other mailed documents will not be reviewed and will be shredded / destroyed.
It is highly recommended that international students bring their official transcripts
and proof of degree(s) with them to campus. These official documents are required
to complete enrollment after being admitted.
How do I apply for funding?
How do I know if my application is under review? What is my application status?
You can check the status of your application on your MyMichiganTech. Your application status will always be updated here first.
Definitions of our most frequently used status codes follow:
Incomplete items outstanding: Check for items marked as "Required" in your Missing section.
Additional items required to complete departmental review: Your application has been sent to the program, but a decision may not be processed
until all application materials are received.
Complete—Awaiting Program Decision: Your application has been sent to the program and is under review. Your status will
be updated once the Graduate School is notified of your application decision.
Accepted: You have been accepted to the program of study. Additional information will be sent
to you by email and in your acceptance letter(s).
Grad Accept—Pending Financials: You have been accepted to your program of study, but we need to receive your proof
of funding documents and a copy of your passport in order to issue your immigration
documents (I-20 / DS-2019).
Admission Denied: The program has decided to not admit you at this time.
When will I receive my admissions decision?
All application decisions are made by the program of study. The time frame for a decision
varies among programs, as some programs make decisions by committee review.
If you have further questions about a program's timeline for application decisions,
you can contact your Graduate Program Director.
