Student Handbook

Academic Advising

MTC is committed to providing you with academic and career advising throughout your enrollment at the college. Various college staff and faculty participate in advising in order to provide assistance before, during, and after your attendance. As adults, students are expected to be proactive to seek the specific advising help they need to ensure success anytime throughout their enrollment.

First-Year Advising

Most new students will be assigned to a Professional Advisor in the Center for Student Success and Engagement. A Professional Advisor will meet with you often during your first few terms at MTC to help you register for classes and develop an academic plan, adjust to the demands of college, answer any questions you have, or refer you to additional resources on campus.

Once students have achieved specific milestones for their program of study, they may be reassigned to a faculty advisor in their program.

Program Advising

Students applying to limited enrollment programs will be assigned to a faculty/program advisor upon acceptance to the program (which may include their first semester at MTC). Students in all other programs will be assigned to a faculty/program advisor after they have completed any required college foundation courses, earned at least twelve credits of college-level courses (1000 or above), and achieved a 2.0 GPA.
