Provide Your Application

(it's free!)

Complete and submit your free application. This is the next step for all potential students, regardless of your residency or the type of degree or credential you are seeking.

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.
International applicants are required to pay a $10 processing fee per application.

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?

Your application for admission also serves as your application for funding. Graduate assistantships are available for each of our graduate programs.

You should follow up with your Graduate Program Director and/or a faculty member if you have additional questions about the availability of funding.

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.
