Your advisor will assist you in selecting courses for your major. Remember, the more thought you have given to your course and schedule preferences before this meeting the more productive it will be. Please review your College Placement Test scores. They will determine which courses you will be placed into your first semester. You may want to retake parts of the test.

Each semester there are two fee payment Deadlines. If you register for classes by the first payment deadline and want to keep that schedule, you must pay any balance due by the first payment deadline.

If you register after the first payment deadline (Late Registration) then your balance is due at the time of registration. A late registration fee is charged.

View balance due at your MyMTC account. It will include any financial aid awards. MTC does not mail bills.

When you buy books, do not open any packaging or write in them until you are sure that you have the correct books, that the class has not been cancelled due to low.

Obtain your Student Photo ID in the Student Life Office on the Beltline or Airport campus. For Student ID Processing times, please visit midlandstech.edu/studentlife/stuid.html.

Especially watch for Financial Aid notices and requests for additional information. You will also receive e-mails regarding advisement, registration, and fee payment due dates.
