Be Ready.
Congratulations on your acceptance into one of the country’s top technological universities! Now, the real fun begins.
In order to make your transition into the Michigan Tech community as smooth and streamlined as possible, it’s important to be organized. And to keep your eye out for several things, including…
The Tech Guide
The Tech Guide is a handy dandy reference booklet that you’ll get in the spring (provided you’ve paid your enrollment deposit). In it, you’ll find a week-by-week guide with essential information, tips, important phone numbers, helpful Web resources, and more.
COMPASS—Center for Orientation, Mentoring, Parents, and Academic Student Success
COMPASS is solely dedicated to making sure you have everything you need to get off to a great start at Michigan Tech. You’ll find things like academic support, orientation information, the mentor network, and information on our learning communities.
Orientation
Our orientation program is a very big deal. It’s one full week (that’s 10,080 minutes) of presentations, games, workshops, ice cream, entertainment, team-building exercises, and much more for you and your family. You’ll also register for classes, meet with your academic advisor, and discuss the summer Reading as Inquiry book.
Moving In
Don’t be surprised if complete strangers—current students, professors, even Michigan Tech President Glenn Mroz—start grabbing boxes from your car and lugging them for you on move-in day. It’s what we do.
