Students receive preliminary information in March. More specific information is sent in late June. Students who come into the university without a declared major need to select a major by the time they have completed 40 credits or 3 semesters. Students who wish to change their major, may do so at any time provided they meet the criteria of the department they would like to enter. Orientation begins on Sunday August 19 and will continue through Sunday, August 26, 2001.
Participation is required for all new students.
You will be able to move into the residence hall beginning at noon on Saturday, August 18. Along with the opportunity to meet new friends, get your Tech express card, buy books, discover what professors expect, visit campus facilities, hear about campus life from upper-class students, and get comfortable in your new home. Attendance at parent orientation is optional, however parents are encouraged to participate. Having your own computer is not necessary. In a partnership with Sun Microsystems, Michigan Tech is one of the first universities to offer the SNAP program.
