currently enrolled in an early/middle college program are considered first-year students
for admission and scholarship purposes.
If you're looking to transfer, MTU is a great place to be! Learn more about Michigan's

Apply to Michigan Tech
We strive to make the application process for transfer students as easy and seamless
as possible.
To get started, fill out our free transfer student application and request to have
your official college transcript(s) sent to us—including your official high school
transcript if you have not completed an associate's degree or higher at the time of
application. Learn more about the application process for transfer students and review
our recommended application dates.
How To Apply
Transfer FAQs
Not sure how to get started with the transfer process? Looking for more information
on transfer credit, housing, scholarships, advising, and more? Take a look at our
frequently asked questions page
—made specifically for transfer students like you.
Transfer Credit
We know that a major part of your decision to attend Michigan Tech is understanding
how (and if) your credits will transfer. Transfer credit is granted for appropriate
courses completed at another accredited institution with a grade of C or better. Upon
acceptance, your official college transcript(s) will be sent to the Registrar's Office
for review by
Transfer Services
staff. Results will be posted to your student account.
We understand if you'd like to get an idea of how your credits will transfer before
you apply—and we're ready to help. Browse these resources to get started and reach
out to
transfer@mtu.edu
if you have questions.
Transfer Equivalency
Find the institution granting credit for your course(s) and see if and how credit
would be awarded at Michigan Tech. All courses are based on historical data, so if
you don't see your course or institution, that doesn't necessarily mean you won't
earn credit.
Michigan Transfer Agreement
Students who successfully complete the 30-credit-hour Michigan Transfer Agreement
(MTA) at a Michigan community college may transfer all 30 credits to satisfy a portion
of the general education requirements at Tech.
College Partners Program
Non-Michigan transfer students from Northcentral Technical College (NTC), Northeast
Wisconsin Technical College (NWTC), and the six campuses of Minnesota North College
may be eligible to receive reduced tuition costs at Michigan Tech. Contact your
regional admissions manager
to learn more.

Support is available if you have questions about whether or not transferring to Michigan
