When you are admitted to Michigan Tech, you are issued a Michigan Tech email account and a personalized web portal (MTU Avenue) for your use.
Your Michigan Tech email is called HuskyMail and is a colorful and freindly web based mail program. Please check your Tech email frequently since many offices at Michigan Tech will communicate with you in this way. This will be your official email address while you are a student at Michigan Tech. Email instructions and policies are available here.
MTU Avenue information and login details are available here. Your avenue is a great place for information on admissions, financial aid, housing, academics, and campus news and sports. There is also an Orientation Forum where you can post any questions you may have about Orientation and Michigan Tech students and staff will respond.
