From Admission to Graduation

First Semester

All new and returning students are strongly encouraged to meet with an admission counselor prior to enrolling in their first term at MTC.
Once students have been accepted (new or transfer) or completed the Returning Student Reactivation Form (returning), they should complete any required placement testing and set up a meeting with an academic advisor to register for first-semester courses.

Second Semester

Schedule an appointment with your academic advisor to discuss your class schedule. You can determine your academic advisor by logging into Aviso or contacting the Center for Student Success and Engagement. Aviso is an online advising and academic planning tool which may be accessed on the MTC website under “My Plan.”
Register for classes online or during an appointment with your advisor during open registration periods.
Pay tuition and fees by the published deadline.
Attend scheduled classes. To drop a class, withdraw from the college, change from day to evening classes (or vice versa), or request a tutor, see the appropriate sections of this handbook for details. If you have a question, problem, or concern, contact your academic advisor.

Other Terms

Schedule an appointment to see your academic advisor when you have accumulated a total of 40-45 credit hours.
You should contact your advisor any time you have a question or concern, especially when you are experiencing academic difficulty.

Preparing for Graduation

Two terms before you plan to graduate, you are strongly encouraged to meet with your academic advisor to review your progress toward meeting all course requirements. Before registering for your last term of enrollment, you must meet with your advisor to ensure that you have fulfilled all of your degree or certificate requirements.
Before the first week of the term before you intend to graduate, complete and submit the online Petition for Graduation form on the College website.
If you would like assistance locating employment, contact Career Services.
All financial obligations to the college must be paid prior to graduation. You must also complete an exit interview if you have accepted Stafford or Guaranteed Student Loans.
