Transfer Students
Advisor: Lauren Huested, lhuested@mtu.edu or eceadvise@mtu.edu
Fall classes will be entered by Kailee Laplander or Lauren Huested after all your transfer credits have been processed, or you can register online, yourself. Contact Kailee or Lauren
to ensure you are registered in correct starting courses.
Send in an official copy of your transcript as soon as possible (to MTU Admissions),
right after course completion. If you have AP credit - have your AP scores sent to MTU Admissions asap.
First-year Students and Transfer Students with less than 30 credits:
Your initial course schedule will be available after mid-July to view in MyMichiganTech. The Registrar's Office will schedule your 'Cohort' courses: Math(MA), Engineering(ENG) and Chemistry(CH) or Physics(PH), in mid-July. Contact Judy or Lauren if you have questions.
All New Students:
Computer Engineers: Take the CS knowledge assessment before you arrive, preferably in June. The purpose is to place students in the appropriate programming course, CS1121 or CS1131. You may continue to review and practice, then re-take the assessment during orientation week if you wish. Email Dr. Leo Ureel to gain access to the assessment, ureel@mtu.edu. If you have AP or transfer credit for CS1121 or CS1131, do not take this assessment.
Electrical Engineers and Robotics Engineers: CH 1150/1151, University Chemistry is a required course. Carefully choose the correct starting chemistry course for you. If you are not well-prepared for CH1150/1151, take CH1000 first. A chemistry course will be scheduled for you. You may switch to the correct Chem course for you during orientation week or during summer - Send an email to schedule@mtu.edu to switch your chemistry course. Include your first and last name, and your student ID number (M#).
Electrical Engineers and Robotics Engineers who are considering a Computer Science minor or a double-major with Computer Engineering - take the CS Knowledge Assessment in summer or during orientation week.
Students who have AP or transfer credit for a college math course do not need to take the ALEKS assessment. See math placement webpage or email mathplacement@mtu.edu if you have questions about math placement or ALEKS.
More on the Chemistry Decision
Read here to select the correct Chemistry course for you. We strongly urge students to register for their appropriate chemistry course during or before Orientation Week. CH 1153 is optional recitation section, (strongly recommended) for a weekly review and practice of chemistry problems. Take CH 1000 prior to CH 1150/1151/1153 if you are not yet well-prepared for University Chemistry.
CH1150/1151 may count in math/science electives for Computer Engineers.
If you have a learning disability, and wish to learn about accommodations, contact 906-487-2212 or email Dr. Christy Oslund at cmoslund@mtu.edu. It is best to be informed before or soon after you arrive.
Core and HASS Requirements (Humanities, Social Sciences & Arts)
Become familiar with Michigan Tech's General Education Core, HASS and co-curricular lists and requirements. These courses may be used to help fill your schedule if you need more credits. Ensure your course choice is on one of these lists. Contact your academic advisor before or during Orientation Week to add a class.
E-mail Kailee or Lauren if you have questions: eceadvise@mtu.edu
New students will have an academic advising meeting in the first semester to review details of the program with your academic advisor and plan for the scheduling of spring 2024 classes.
Double-major: Students planning a double major – Ex: CpE/EE and EE/RE - Double-major flowcharts will be available Orientation Week. EE majors who are considering EE+CpE, or RE+CpE should take the CS Knowledge Assessment. You may officially add a double-major after the first semester begins or later.
