Registering for Courses

Registering for classes is a critical activity for all students. Each term it is necessary for you to select the specific courses you want to take, complete any forms needed, and pay the appropriate fees as part of the registration process. You are also encouraged to stay in contact with your advisor should any concerns arise. You are responsible to know the various registration terms, times, and policies.

MTC uses what is called a ‘‘continuous registration’’ process. This simply means that once registration begins, it continues until the published ending date. Registration typically begins about halfway through the prior term, with spring and summer fall term registration occurring simultaneously. (Check the college calendar on the MTC website for specific registration dates and times. You may also receive emails from the Registrar with important dates to consider.)

Continuing students (students who attended during any of the previous three terms) in good academic standing are afforded the first opportunity to register for classes during three days of online registration:

  • Day One – registration opens for continuing students with 45+ credit hours completed
  • Day Two – registration opens for continuing students with 30+ credit hours completed
  • Day Three – registration opens for continuing students with 20+ credit hours completed
  • Day Four – registration opens for continuing students with 12+ credit hours completed

In June of 2014, Governor Kasich signed House Bill 488, which includes providing priority registration for veterans and service members. At MTC, priority registration means veterans and service members can register beginning at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday before open registration begins. Once open registration begins, veterans and service members will compete with all other students for class spaces.

All other students currently attending MTC who do not fall in the above categories may register with an advisor or the Office of the Registrar.

Registration for new and returning students opens approximately one week later. All new and returning students must meet with a Professional Advisor or the Office of the Registrar.
