FAQ |
Chances are good that
if you've got a question, somebody's already asked it. Scan
the list below to find your answer or see what others have been
wondering
about. If you don't find the information you need, please contact the
Michigan Tech
math department at 906/482-2068.
Q. I
want to take
the course work option. How do I know which math class to
register for?
A. Please see the placement guide. The math class you enroll in is
based on your ACT or SAT score in math.
Q. My
ACT (or
SAT) score doesn't reflect my current math ability. Can I register for
a higher- level class?
A. If you wish to take a higher-level math class than the one that our
guide suggests, you must take the math department's diagnostic
test. Contact the Director of First Year Math
(906/487-2938) for more information. Just don't forget that
college math classes are typically two or three times more difficult
than high-school level classes, so just because you have already
taken precalculus in high-school, you are not necessarily ready for
Michigan Tech's Calculus I.
Q. Can
I get
financial aid to cover my expenses?
A. You can use financial aid to cover the MaCH-I Coursework Option but not
the Workshop Option. You must fill out separate forms for summer
financial aid; priority is given to those who apply by March 15,
2007. For more information or to request forms, contact the
Office of Financial Aid (906/487-2622) or visit them on the web
at http://www.finaid.mtu.edu
* When contacting the Financial Aid
Office, please identify yourself as
a MaCH-1 student.
Q. Can
I take
both the coursework option and a workshop?
A. Ambitious! We like that; however, the workshop overlaps the
course work option, and so it is not possible to do both.
Q. I
need some
money! Will I be able to work while enrolled in MaCH-I?
A. MaCH-I provides enough educational and recreational activities to keep
you pretty busy, but you are certainly free to find an on- or
off-campus job while participating in the program.
Q. What
do I do with
all of my stuff between the end of MaCH-I and the beginning of fall
semester? Please don't tell me I have to take it all home!
A. You will be able to store your belongings on campus until school begins
in the fall. MaCH-I students will move their belongings to their
fall room assignment in mid-August. Contact Travis Pierce
(Associate Director, Housing & Residential Life) at 906/487-2687 if you have
questions.
