There are numerous resources available online. Listed below are just a few that might help you and your student prepare for the Michigan Tech experience.

The US Department of Education's site (www.ed.gov) provides a variety of information on education including information on financial aid and career planning.

Michigan Tech has partnered with Student Health 101 to give students, parents, and family members up to date information on many common college health issues. Because we know Michigan Tech parents and family members are an essential support for our students, we hope that you are having conversations with your son or daughter about their health and wellness related decision-making. By accessing the parent edition of Student Health 101, called the Parent Perspective, this resource can help you become an informed partner who can share essential information with your student.
