Academic Policies and Requirements

Grading Policies

Students may go online at www.midlandstech.edu/cc to view their grades through Campus Cruiser or MTC Online (click on transcript).  If an official paper copy is required, students may go the Student Records Office on either campus or go the www.midlandstech.edu/records, download the Grade Mailer Request Form and fax the completed form to (803) 738-7880.

If an error is suspected in the reported grades, students must notify the faculty member involved within one calendar term after the term in which the grade was issued. Failure to initiate and complete processing within the specified time will disqualify students from further consideration of a grade change.
