Future First-Year Applicants
Test scores are optional for domestic students. Students may also apply for competitive scholarships without test scores.
First-year students are those who have completed their junior year of high school or have graduated from high school or earned their GED (or other high school equivalency), and have not taken college classes following high school graduation. If you completed college courses while in high school or are part of an early/middle college program, you’re considered a first-year student.
Fall and Summer Applicants
In order to receive a decision by January 15, your completed application and all supplemental materials must be received by the November 1 priority consideration deadline.

How to Apply
- Submit One Application for Admission
Use either our first-year application or apply with the Common App. Select the option that is right for you, but only submit one application.
- Request Your Official High School Transcript
Request to have an official copy of your transcript sent to us through your school counselor or a service such as Parchment. Your transcript must show grades through your junior year.
- Submit Your Official SAT and/or ACT Test Scores (Optional)
Students applying for fall 2025 admission do not need to submit test scores, unless their GPA is below a 3.00. If you would like to submit your SAT or ACT, we will only utilize scores if it strengthens your application. Our SAT code is 1464; ACT code is 2030.
- Provide Supplemental Information (Optional)
If you'd like your counselor to share information with us regarding your high school academic performance, have them submit the High School Counselor Information form. Your counselor can also use this form to have your test scores sent to Michigan Tech at no cost to you. If you choose to send any letters of recommendation or additional materials, they will be reviewed along with your application.
- Submit Additional Application Materials (Select Majors)
Students applying to the following majors may need to submit additional application materials:
- Nursing
- Visual and Performing Arts
