Your Michigan Tech username and ISO password, which will be provided during orientation, are necessary to log on to your various electronic accounts:

Student Portal

During your time at Michigan Tech, you will use Experience: a one-stop student portal. This portal contains a dashboard with cards, which allow you to acquire information, access quick links, register for courses, pay your bills, and more. Everything you need to navigate your education and enjoy your time at Tech can be accessed from this one site! 

This dashboard is organized by cards that you can customize it according to the user experience YOU want. We recommend that you familiarize yourself with Experience and all it has to offer

Other Helpful Resource

Google for Education (Email, Calendars, Documents, Groups)

Overview of Canvas (MTU's Learning Management System)

Hardware Requirements

We strongly encourage hardware that meets the recommended specifications outlined in our incoming engineering student laptop requirements. Regardless of your degree program, this recommended memory and storage capacity will allow you to effectively run necessary software and process data provided to you for assignments.

Active Learning Tools

"Examples of formative feedback tools used for active learning in my online course are non-graded mastery quizzes that check for understanding prior to the graded activity, student discussion board postings for making connections to real-world industry examples, and pop-up questions inserted into video-recorded lecture/demonstration of solving example problems."
