Academic Catalog

Orientation

Orientation is required of all new and readmitted students at Midlands Technical College. F-1 visa students have a separate mandatory orientation to review and under- stand immigration and college policies that may impact their visa status. Orientation helps students answer the following five questions:

  • Am I in the right MTC program for me and my career plans?
  • How will I cover the cost of college, especially if I need financial aid?
  • What does MTC expect from me?
  • When do I need to make important decisions?
  • When can I meet with an advisor and register for my courses?

This requirement also prepares students for their first academic advisement session. New first-time freshmen, new first-time transfers, and readmitted college students have a registration hold until the student has completed orientation and advisement with Academic and Career Advising. Several academic programs have additional mandatory orientation and advisement before the enrollment process can be completed. For more information, call Academic and Career Advising at 822-6755.
