Registration


New students to Mitchell Tech will be notified of the process and timeline of registering for classes by their Admissions representatives. Returning students will be notified of the registration process by the Registrar’s office and by academic advisors.

Preparatory Courses


090-level preparatory, review courses will be offered for pass/no credit (“P”/“N”). Preparatory credits count toward course load, but are not figured in grade point averages or graduation requirements.

Independent Study


The program of independent study must be approved, in writing, by the instructor overseeing the project. A detailed outline of the study project, including material to be covered, written work to be submitted, etc., must be developed. The plan must be submitted to the Vice-President for Academics.  In general, students may not take required courses by independent study. In cases of special circumstances, a student may request to take independent study in place of a normally offered course. Students should be aware that Mitchell Tech tries to avoid such arrangements so that as many students as possible benefit from classroom and lab instruction.

Cancellation of Courses


Mitchell Tech reserves the right to cancel a course or combine class sections due to insufficient enrollment or other related factors. Students will be notified and the Registrar’s office will work with the students to assist with re-scheduling.

Course Numbering System


The following numbering system is used for all courses:

  1. The two- to four-letter prefix designates the department or program area. A department may use more than one prefix.

  2. The three-digit course number generally indicates the level of instruction. Courses numbered 090-099 are developmental and do not fulfill any requirements for any degrees or diplomas offered.

Course Sequence


Unless otherwise noted, courses in this catalog must be completed in the sequence listed.

Defining Course Types


Traditional: Courses that meet face-to-face requiring student attendance on campus for the full semester.

Blended: A course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Typically a substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, uses online discussions, and has some face-to-face meetings.

Online:  All of the content is delivered online. Typically there are no face-to-face meetings; however, some online courses may have a requirement of a campus-based meeting. If a student registered for a course and is unable to come to campus due to extenuating circumstances, alternative arrangements may be made.

Course Audits


Courses may be audited for no credit. There is a $50 per course fee for auditing. You can find the Course Audit form on the Mitchell Tech website - www.mitchelltech.edu. Additional fees, including but not limited to lab and program continuation fees, may apply and will vary by course and program. Contact the Business Office for current rates. 

In some situations, MTC instructors and administration may require a student to audit a class they have successfully completed in the past. This generally occurs when a student needs to keep skills current. Coursework and grading requirements will be determined by the instructor. 

Financial aid is not available for audited courses and these courses do not count toward full-time status. Audited courses do not meet graduation requirements. Students enrolled in audited courses only are not eligible for student services. 

Auditing a course is subject to instructor approval and course capacity limits. Students enrolled for credit have priority for space available in any course. Individuals not accepted to a program may audit a class, but restrictions apply. Contact the Registrar’s Office for details.

Change of Academic Program


Students may request a change of program within the College by completing a “Request for Change of Academic Program” form in The Center for Student Success. After a review of the admissions requirements and determination of program capacity, a change in program may be granted. After a student has been granted the change of program, earned credits will be applied to the new program.  Only grades of “C” or better in comparable, required technical courses may be transferred. Students changing programs will have the normal time frame to complete the new program.  Program requirements follow the catalog requirements of current academic year.  Those on academic probation will remain on probation in the new program.  Financial aid restrictions may apply.  

The student may apply for Grade Forgiveness for prior coursework that is not a requirement of the new program. See Grade Forgiveness policy.

Readmission (Reinstatement)


Students who have left school in good standing will need to complete the application process if they wish to return. No application fee will be charged for readmission.

Previous technical courses must have been taken within five (5) years or applicants must provide evidence that their respective knowledge and skills fulfill current standards and requirements.

Students who have left school for reasons of unsatisfactory progress, nonpayment of fees, or suspension will need to do the following for re-admission into Mitchell Tech:

  1. Pay all past bills in full.

  2. Receive approval from the Director of Student Success.

  3. If students need financial aid, such as Veterans benefits, Pell grant, etc., they will also need approval from the Director of Financial Aid or the respective agency.

Students who leave the College on academic suspension must wait one semester before applying for readmission.

Reservation of the Right to Modify Materials listed in this document is believed to be accurate at the time of publication. The College reserves the right to make changes that seem necessary or desirable, including course and program cancellations, requirements, financial fees, and to add, alter, or delete courses and programs. While reasonable efforts will be made to publicize changes, a student is encouraged to seek current information from appropriate offices. Content is subject to change without notice and does not constitute an offer to contract with any person. It is ultimately the student’s responsibility to be aware of current regulations, curriculum, policies, and the status of specific programs.
