The Michigan Tech Transfer Services Office assists all students who wish to transfer credit from a U.S. institution. If you would like to transfer to Michigan Tech, please review the transfer information on this page as well as the information on the Michigan Tech Admissions page.
Transfer Credit Information
Students may receive transfer credit at Michigan Tech for courses taken at other institutions. Please keep in mind that Michigan Tech's transfer credit procedures may not be the same as transfer credit procedures at other universities.
Essential Education Transfer Guidelines
Completion of the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) will be counted as fulfillment of all Essential Education requirements. MTA
students will still need to complete the overall course and credit requirements for
their major. Students from Michigan who do not complete the MTA, as well as transfer students coming
from outside of Michigan, must complete the Essential Education requirements. Credits
will be awarded on the basis of individual course evaluations and established transfer
equivalents. Transfer students who complete the MTA and are not required to take a seminar for
their major requirements are encouraged to take UN 2013, Michigan Tech Transfer Seminar.
This unique course recognizes the specific needs of transfer students and supports
students in building community at Michigan Tech, reflecting on how their previous
academic experiences inform their Michigan Tech plans, and developing skills for career-readiness. Students coming directly from high school who have completed the MTA and are not required
to take a seminar for their major requirements are encouraged to take UN 1013, Michigan
Tech Seminar. This course is an introduction to university resources and assists students
with career pathway planning and developing habits for academic success. Transfer students who are following Essential Education requirements should work with
their academic advisor to understand their specific department's seminar requirements
before registering for courses. For additional information about transfer credits, please see our Frequently Asked Questions page or contact your academic advisor.
General Education Transfer Guidelines
General Education is an important and required component of every Michigan Tech degree. Transfer students must also meet the General Education requirements.
Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA)
Michigan Tech participates in the MTA. Students may complete the MTA at one of the participating community colleges in Michigan, which will satisfy a portion of Michigan Tech's general education requirements.
Reverse Transfer (Associate Degree Completion)
Michigan Tech has reverse transfer agreements with five community colleges in Michigan.
Guest Students
The Michigan Tech Transfer Services Office also advises guest students. Guest students have elected to study at Michigan Tech as a guest or are Michigan Tech students that would like to study at another university in Michigan.
