Upload required documents
You will upload all required documents to your Michigan Tech application portal. Programs typically will not review an application until all required materials have
been submitted to the Graduate School.
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 Michigan
Tech admissions portal. 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?
All applications for admission are considered for fundedgraduate assistantships when available, but the availability of this funding varies by program. There is
no need to take any additional action to be considered for this funding other than
to submit your application to the program.
How do I know if my application is under review? What is my application status?
The status of your application can be viewed in your Michigan Tech admission portal.
Emails will be sent to you as a reminder to access your admission portal for important
updates.
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.
