University Policies

Most students coming to Michigan Tech find themselves with more freedom and less supervision than they've ever experienced. Usually, this isn't a problem, so long as you respect those around you and follow the requirements of the law. More-specific information follows.

Academic Integrity

Academic integrity and honesty are central to a student's education. Ethical conduct in an academic context will be carried forward into a student's professional career. Academic honesty is essential to a community of scholars searching for and learning to seek the truth. Anything less than total commitment to honesty undermines the efforts of the entire academic community. Both students and faculty are responsible for ensuring the academic integrity of the University.

In their academic work, students are expected to maintain personal academic integrity; treat all academic exercises as work to be conducted privately, unless otherwise instructed; ask faculty to clarify any aspects of permissible or expected cooperation on any assignment; and report any cheating activity. Please note that use of scoop material (old exams) is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the instructor.

Definitions of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism, cheating, fabrication, and facilitating academic dishonesty, can be found in the Academic Integrity Policy. Copies of the policy are available from Student Affairs and chairs of academic departments.

Students found guilty of academic dishonesty can receive a sanction ranging from academic integrity warning to expulsion. Please refer to Student Rights and Responsibilities in the University Community and the Academic Integrity Policy for more information.

Academic Renewal

Not all first-time students are prepared for a successful academic experience. Academic Renewal, therefore, gives students who have not attended Michigan Tech for at least five years a reasonable second chance by removing a certain portion of course work from Grade Point Average computation. Academic renewal is irrevocable and may be elected only once in a lifetime. Qualifications for the program are:

1. A minimum of five years must have elapsed since the most recent course work to be disregarded was completed, with no intervening enrollments.
2. The petitioner must be an enrolled undergraduate student, and the request must be invoked prior to graduation. Students who have completed requirements for the bachelor's or associate's degrees are not eligible.
3. A student must have an overall GPA below 2.00 for the renewal period.
4. If two or more terms are to be disregarded, they must be consecutive and completed within a maximum of two calendar years for bachelor's degree candidates, or one calendar year for associate's degree candidates.
5. Undergraduate degree candidates must meet University residency requirements in the interval between the course work to be disregarded and the completion of the program.

All courses remain on the student's permanent record. Grades received during the renewal period are annotated with an R to indicate that academic renewal was granted for the approved period.

Grades received are excluded from Grade Point Average computation, and academic standing is initialized to good standing.

Renewal applies to all courses taken during the renewal period, regardless of the grade earned. Course credit is granted for renewal courses when the student earns passing grades of C (2.00/4.00 scale) or higher and are not subject to the existing repeat policy rules.

Academic renewal is a program of Michigan Technological University and may not be recognized by outside institutions or agencies, such as the Michigan Department of Education and other colleges and universities.

To participate in the program, students must consult with their academic advisors and submit a petition form to the Office of Student Records and Registration.

Students who leave the university voluntarily may reenroll by contacting the Office of Student Records and Registration. Students who did not leave voluntarily must seek reenrollment through the dean of students. Requests are evaluated case by case.

Alcohol and Drug Policy and Procedures

Policy on Drug Use

The use, possession, or distribution of illegal substances, including marijuana, on University property or at University functions on or off campus is prohibited.

Policy on Alcohol Use

Michigan Technological University recognizes that clear evidence exists that the misuse and abuse of alcoholic beverages can erode the foundation of the University's goals and objectives and can diminish the attainment of intellectual, social, physical, and moral growth and development. All University members who are adults will make personal choices about their use of alcohol, but those choices must not disrupt the living or learning environment of others. It is the University's mission to influence alcohol-related behavior when such behavior has a negative effect on any segment of the University community or violates any city, state, or federal law or ordinance. The University will attempt to provide, for all its community, educational activities and information concerning the responsible use of alcohol. The University will facilitate coordination of treatment services, and the University will provide guidelines for responsible use of alcohol. Furthermore, neither this policy-nor the University's consent to the use of alcoholic beverages at certain locations and under certain circumstances- constitutes University sponsorship or approval of such use, but reflects its desire to permit freedom of choice where such choice does not endanger life or violate existing law.

Alcohol advertisements are prohibited at all University events and in all University publications. University policy guides the editorial boards of student media in developing advertisement policies that comply with state law.

Laws Regarding Alcohol

All federal, state, and local laws governing alcohol use are applicable to all activities at Michigan Tech. For details, see website on Laws Regarding Alcohol at www.admin.mtu.edu.psafe/annualcrimereport.pdf.

Use and/or Possession of Alcoholic Beverages on Campus

Michigan Tech has established policies and procedures concerning the use and possession of alcoholic beverages on campus. The use of alcohol is restricted at events sponsored by recognized student organizations, with the exception of those events outlined in the policy, which can be viewed at this website: www.admin.mtu.edu.psafe/annualcrimereport.pdf.

Copies are available at the Student Affairs Office, the Office of Residence Life, and Public Safety.

Disciplinary Action

Those who violate state or local laws while on University property or at University-sponsored events, and those who violate University rules regarding use, possession, sale, or furnishing of drugs or alcohol to others, are subject to disciplinary action.

Students, student groups, and student organizations are subject to disciplinary action by the Student Affairs Office. They also may be subject to prosecution by civil authorities. In some cases, the University may choose to notify the parents of minors of infractions related to alcohol and/or drug use.

Students found responsible for violating the drug policy can receive a sanction ranging from disciplinary warning to expulsion. Students found responsible for violating the alcohol policy can receive a sanction ranging from disciplinary warning to expulsion. Student organizations violating either policy can receive sanctions ranging from organizational warning to expulsion. Other possible outcomes include participation in substance abuse education programs, fine, and possible prosecution in the local courts. For more information, please refer to Student Rights and Responsibilities in the University Community.

Attendance Policy

Students are expected to attend all classes, including recitation and laboratory sessions, beginning on the first day of regular instruction as stated in the University academic calendar. This date can be found in the Schedule of Classes or at www.admin.mtu.edu/em.

Students having excused absences are permitted to make up graded work. Whenever possible, students should contact the instructor prior to the absence and arrange a mutually acceptable makeup procedure. Otherwise, students should account for the absence at the first opportunity.

Students who are unable to notify instructors concerning their absence from class, or who must notify several instructors on short notice, should contact the Student Affairs Office for assistance.

An absence is excused under the following conditions:

• A student is participating in off-campus, University-sponsored activities, such as field trips, fine arts performances, intercollegiate athletics, judging teams, job fairs, etc. The faculty or staff members supervising the off-campus activity will send a notice to all academic departments and to the Student Affairs Office before the activity takes place. The notice will include the name and date of the activity, the name of the supervising person, a list of all participating students, and their classes.
• The instructor is assured that a student's absence from class was due to circumstances beyond the student's control. The student must provide verification of the special circumstance if the instructor requests it. Excuses are usually given in the following circumstances: illness, funeral of any relative or close friend, military duty, court appearance, and personal emergencies.
• The instructor deems it excusable. Some examples might include professional and graduate school interviews, plant trips, job interviews requiring travel, and professional society meetings.

Policy on Religious Observance

Michigan Tech permits students to be excused from class on holidays observed by their religious faith. Students who wish to be absent for a religious holiday are responsible for making arrangements in advance with their instructors to make up classwork and exams. Instructors may expect a reasonable limit to the number of absences requested.

Code of Conduct

In Michigan, a person achieves adult status at age eighteen. Michigan Tech expects that every student will observe all federal and state laws, city ordinances, and University rules. Students must conduct themselves in accordance with contemporary community standards of behavior whenever their conduct affects others in the community. The basic idea may be expressed as, "Conduct yourself so as not to interfere with your neighbor's rights." Although common sense, courtesy, and concern for others are excellent guidelines for appropriate conduct, specific policies and disciplinary procedures have been developed to cover many areas of potential difficulty. In addition to discipline for breaches of the specific policies and general standards of conduct set forth below, discipline may be imposed for any student conduct that constitutes a violation of state law, local ordinance, or University regulation, or that unreasonably endangers life or property. While the following statement of rules is not complete, it is a guide that should become familiar to students and all members of the University community.

Students are responsible for becoming familiar with all University regulations related to student conduct. A summary is available at this website: www.sa.mtu.edu/dean/judicial/policies.

Computer Use Policy

Michigan Tech considers access to computer resources to be a privilege granted on the condition that each member of the University community uses these resources responsibly and in accord with professional and University standards. This document describes Michigan Tech's computer resources, the responsibilities assumed by users of the system, the services provided to support and assist users, and professional and University standards that must be observed.

Use of Computers and Networks

Computer and network facilities are provided for educational, research, and administrative use. All access and use of University computing resources and services are presumed to be consistent with University rules and regulations, including University personnel policies, faculty and student codes of conduct, and departmental policies and procedures. All use is also subject to the University's Conflict of Interest and Intellectual Property policy and procedure. The use, without authorization, of Michigan Technological University's computers and networks for nonuniversity business purposes or personal gain is prohibited.

Individuals who are provided access to Michigan Tech's computer facilities and to the campus-wide communication network assume responsibility for appropriate use of these resources. The University expects individuals to be responsible in the use of computers and networks. Those who use wide-area networks (such as the Internet) to communicate with others or to connect to computers at other institutions are expected to abide by the rules of the remote systems and networks as well as those for Michigan Tech's systems. In addition to being a violation of University rules, certain computer misconduct is prohibited under Michigan Laws. Act 53 of the Public Acts of 1979 of the State of Michigan (as amended by Act 326 of 1996), states, "An act to prohibit access to computers, computer systems, and computer networks for certain fraudulent purposes; to prohibit intentional and unauthorized access, alteration, damage, and destruction of computers, computer systems, computer networks, computer software programs, and data; and to prescribe penalties." In addition, individuals may be held responsible for misuse which occurs by allowing their account to be accessed by a third party.

Individuals must consult their department system administrator or other designated individual prior to any activity that might threaten the security or performance of University computers and networks. Failure to do so may result in disciplinary action. An individual who may have unintentionally or inadvertently participated in or caused such an event must notify the system administrator as soon as possible.

Use of Facilities

Michigan Tech's computer and network facilities have tangible value. Consequently, attempts to circumvent accounting systems or to use the computer accounts of others will be treated as forms of attempted theft.

Individuals may not:

• attempt to damage or to degrade the performance of Tech's computers and networks.
• disrupt the work of other users.
• attempt to circumvent security systems or to exploit or probe for security holes in any Michigan Tech network or system, or attempt any such activity against other systems accessed through Tech's facilities.
• execute or compile programs designed to breach system security.
• disclose their passwords or otherwise make Tech's facilities available to anyone else.
• possess or collect passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), private digital certificates, or other secure identification information other than their own.
• use University resources for commercial gain or solicitation, except within the boundaries of standard University policies.
• run a private business on the Tech network.
• engage in unauthorized conduct to place Tech in the position of being considered a service provider for third parties.

Occasionally, course assignments, independent studies, or research activities may involve testing the integrity of implemented system security. Individuals who plan to assign, oversee, or engage in such activity must, at a minimum, discuss their plans with their departmental system administrator, and, if requested, with a member of the University's System Administration Council prior to the start of any such activity.

Protection of Information

Computer systems and networks provide mechanisms for the protection of private information from examination. Any unauthorized attempt to circumvent them or to gain unauthorized access to private information (including both stored computer files and messages transmitted over a network) is a violation of privacy and will result in disciplinary action.

In general, information that the owner would reasonably regard as private must be treated as private by other users. Examples include the contents of electronic mail boxes, the private file storage areas of individual users, and information stored in other areas that are not public. In other words, an individual may not engage in unauthorized viewing or accessing private files or databases.

On shared and networked computer systems, some kinds of information about users and their activities are visible to others. Users are cautioned that information is readily accessible, including user accounting and directory information (for example, user names and electronic mail addresses), certain records of file names and executed commands, and information stored in public areas. Such unsecured information about other users must not be manipulated in unauthorized ways; for example, eavesdropping by computer and systematically monitoring the behavior of others will result in disciplinary action. The compilation or redistribution of information from University directories (printed or electronic) to third parties, especially those outside the University, is forbidden. Access to University information does not confer the right to read, transmit, or distribute to others that information, or to make use of it except as part of official University business. Reasonable steps must be taken to ensure security of such electronic data. Computer resources must be used in a manner that does not violate the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act that Michigan Tech is bound to follow.

Users are also cautioned to familiarize themselves with applicable copyrights, licenses, and copyright laws when reproducing or providing access to information created by someone other than themselves. This includes, but is not limited to, reuse of material (text, graphics, sound, video, or other) in printed or electronic form. Unauthorized use of such information is strictly prohibited under this policy.

Individuals authorized by Michigan Tech may monitor users' data, programs, or any computer activities to:

• perform routine maintenance
• prevent damage to systems
• ensure compliance with University procedures, rules, or regulations
• ensure compliance with state and federal regulations and laws

No Expectation of Privacy

Users should be aware that, due to the complexity of current software and computer networks, it is not possible for Michigan Tech to ensure privacy and fully protect systems, files, and email. Users are advised that they may not have an expectation of privacy in computer usage or contents, including email.

Electronic Communication

Michigan Tech neither sanctions nor censors opinions expressed on its systems; however, the same standards of behavior are expected in the use of electronic communication as in the use of other systems of communications at Michigan Tech. Electronic communications, for instance,

• must not threaten or endanger the safety of a member of the University community
• must not be obscene
• must not violate the Michigan Tech Policy on Discrimination and Harassment
• must not misrepresent the identity of the sender
• must not be defamatory
• should not be sent as chain letters

Generally, email on a given topic that is sent to large numbers of recipients should be directed only to those who have indicated a willingness to receive such email. University procedures define specific situations in which mass electronic mailings are acceptable.

Discipline

Michigan Tech specifically reserves the right to review messages, files, data, and other activity for legitimate purposes, during ordinary business operations, emergencies, or if misconduct or abuse is suspected.

Using Michigan Tech resources in a manner that violates the provisions set forth in this policy can lead to revocation of all computer privileges as well as other disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University. If required under prevailing law and to the extent required under the prevailing law, Michigan Tech will comply with due process rights. Due process and disciplinary procedures appropriate to the individual(s) involved will be followed as set forth in applicable University handbooks and/or tenure process. However, Michigan Tech reserves the right to immediately suspend any account to protect the integrity of the system and to curtail abuse.

To the extent computer use is believed to be a violation of federal, state, or local laws, Michigan Tech will turn the matter over to the appropriate authorities.

Anyone who suspects a violation of the computer use policy should report the occurrence to the staff or faculty member responsible for the facility.

Discrimination and Harassment

Michigan Technological University is a diverse community of and for scholars. This community requires an environment of trust and openness where productive work, teaching, and learning can thrive. The University recognizes the necessity of protecting First Amendment rights and encouraging free speech, but also recognizes that certain conduct can threaten the mutual respect that is the foundation of scholarly communities. This policy is intended to secure the freedom of expression guaranteed by the United States Constitution, while maintaining the trust and mutual respect that are vital to a diverse university community.

This policy does not abrogate other policies, rights, and regulations set forth by Michigan Technological University. Further, federal and state laws will be enforced notwithstanding any provision of this policy.

The civil rights statutes prohibit various forms of discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, marital status, age, disability, height, weight, or veteran status.

At Michigan Technological University, there is no place for discrimination and/or discriminatory harassment prohibited by Title VII, 42 U.S.C. §1981, 42 U.S.C. §1983, Title VI, Title IX, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Michigan Handicappers' Act, the Michigan Ethnic Intimidation Act, the Michigan Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, and Board of Control policy. These behaviors by any member of the Michigan Technological University community are prohibited and are subject to disciplinary procedures ranging from reprimand to dismissal.

This policy shall be administered in accordance with procedures established by the provost in consultation with the University Senate.

Notice of Nondiscrimination Policy

(Equal Employment Opportunity Policy)

In keeping with its responsibilities as an educational institution, Michigan Technological University is committed to a policy of affording equal opportunity to all of its employees, students, applicants for employment, and applicants for admission without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, height, weight, veteran status, marital status, sexual orientation, age, or sex, except where age or sex is a bona fide occupational qualification. The University is also committed to a policy of educating and employing disabled individuals without discrimination. These policies are to be implemented with due regard for the relative qualifications of all involved.

Questions regarding Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, should be directed to the affirmative action officer, Administration 207, 487-3310. Questions on Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability, should be directed to the affirmative action officer or to Pat Gotschalk, director of student judicial affairs, Administration 170, 487-2212.

Reporting Racial Harassment or Discrimination

Persons with racial or sexual harassment/discrimination complaints should immediately notify the affirmative action officer at 487-3310 during office hours (8:00 am-5:00 pm). After regular office hours, dial 123 on campus or 487-1230 off campus.

Sexual Harassment

Discriminatory treatment on the basis of one's status as cited in the Michigan Tech Equal Employment Opportunity statement is prohibited. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act expressly prohibits sexual harassment. According to the Michigan Tech Sexual Harassment Policy, unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal and physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when

• submission is either explicitly or implicitly a basis for academic advancement (e.g., for better grades, advancement in an academic program); or
• submission or rejection affects the targeted person's employment (e.g., their evaluation, advancement, salary); or
• the conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with the targeted person's work performance or learning environment; or it creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work, academic, or residential living environment.

Filing a Complaint

Students should report sexual harassment to their supervisor, department chair, the Affirmative Programs Office (487-3310), or Student Affairs (487-2212).

A complainant may bring the problem to the affirmative action officer (AAO). The AAO will discuss the issue with the complainant and determine the appropriate application of relevant laws and Michigan Tech policies. The AAO and complainant may explore effective options for informal resolutions at the most local level.

Procedures for filing a complaint can be found at this website: www.admin.mtu.edu/aao/complprocedures.htm.

Students found guilty of sexual harassment can receive a sanction ranging from disciplinary probation to expulsion. For more information, refer to Student Rights and Responsibilities in the University Community or visit the Affirmative Action website at: www.admin.mtu.edu/aao/.

Sexual Misconduct

Sexual misconduct is a national problem that affects a significant number of college students. The trauma experienced by the survivors of sexual harassment, nonconsensual sexual intercourse or contact, and sexual exploitation undermines the trust that is essential to the educational process. The fact that most acts of sexual misconduct are committed by people the survivors know, and often must continue to interact with, is devastating to the individual and, indeed, to the very mission of the University. Michigan Tech is committed to educating our students, faculty, and staff about this topic; to improving our responses; and to working with the surrounding communities to offer as great a variety of services as possible.

Sexual Misconduct Policy

The Sexual Misconduct Policy includes explanations of sexual harassment, nonconsensual sexual intercourse, nonconsensual sexual contact, mutually incapacitated sexual intercourse and sexual exploitation, and possible sanctions, including expulsion. The policy, located at www.admin.mtu.edu/dos/policies.htm, also includes information on confidentiality, including the sections Complete Confidentiality, Duty to Investigate, Federal Statistical Reporting Requirements, Federal Timely Warning Requirements, Open Public Safety Logs, and Confidentiality of Health Provider.

A section on options for complainants includes information on seeking medical attention, reporting through campus judicial channels, filing criminal charges, filing a civil suit, civil restraining/protective orders, and counseling/healing options.

In addition, the policy provides information on the rights of both the complainants and the accused, false reporting, group infractions, limited immunity for complainants, and Good Samaritan immunity.

Exam Policies and Scheduling

Final Exam Policy

Final exams are those tests scheduled for a special period following the last week of instruction, referred to as final exam week. This period begins and ends with the first and last officially scheduled final examinations. Each department shall designate all courses or sections of courses in which final exams are to be given.

A comprehensive final exam designed to measure the student's overall knowledge is considered good teaching policy. However, no regulations shall govern the content of a final exam. A final exam could be either incremental or comprehensive.

No final exam will be given earlier than the final exam week. In classes that do not have final exams, the instructor may not give any major tests or exams during the last week of regularly scheduled classes, because such a test would be, in effect, a final exam given earlier than the final exam week. However, departments with lab courses can choose to exempt lab exams from this policy. Make-up exams for illness or other excused absences may be administered before or after the scheduled time, consistent with maintenance of exam security.

No final exams shall be scheduled on Sunday, unless the regular instruction periods are scheduled on Sunday.

No regular instruction is to be continued during the final exam week, except that the final exam time assigned to a course can be used for instruction if an instructor so desires.

The University shall not schedule, nor shall the students participate in, any official function during the scheduled final exam period, except events whose date is beyond the control of the University.

It is the responsibility of the chair of each department to prevent violations of the final exam policy. Students may report violations of the policy to the chair of the instructor's department either in person or by anonymous note. Students may similarly report violations to the Student Affairs Office; these reports will be forwarded to the department chair for appropriate action.

Any departures from an officially scheduled exam time must be approved by the Office of Student Records and Registration.

Absences from final exams need not be excused when caused by a student scheduling courses with conflicting final exam times (see Final Exam Schedule below).

No student shall be required to take more than three exams per calendar day.

Conflicts will be resolved by the dean of students.

Scheduling of Evening Exams

Regular exams are tests and quizzes that are not final examinations. Evening exams are regular exams held outside of scheduled class times, usually after 6:00 pm.

Regular exams should be given during scheduled class meeting times when possible. Students required to take an evening exam shall be excused from one scheduled class.

Evening exams must be arranged through the Office of Student Records and Registration to avoid scheduling conflicts. Evening exams should be scheduled for 6:00-7:00 pm, Monday-Thursday. The University shall not schedule classes for this time period.

Faculty scheduling evening exams must provide alternative exam times for students with the following conflicts. In the case of two conflicting exams (inside or outside of the 6:00-7:00 pm period), the larger class has priority. In the case of an evening exam with a regularly scheduled class, the class has priority over the exam.

Regular exams shall not be given on Friday evenings, nor on Saturday or Sunday.

Exams during Winter Carnival Week

Hour exams shall not be given during that portion of Winter Carnival Week beginning at 6:00 pm, Tuesday. An hour exam is any major exam comprising a significant portion of a student's overall grade and requiring major preparation.

Patent Policy—Student

(Michigan Tech Board of Control policy)

Any inventions, discoveries, or developments-including those in the area of computers, computer use, and software-made with the use of the University's funds, facilities, or equipment, shall be the property of the University. In the event the University derives income from the sale of licensing thereof, such income shall be shared with the student in accordance with the University's Patent and Other Proprietary Rights Policy.

Technology and Economic Development helps Michigan Tech inventors, including students, to patent, commercialize, and license technologies developed at Michigan Tech. For more information, call 487-2228.

Social Activities

Student social activities are under the overall supervision of the vice president for student affairs. All student organization officers and advisors should ensure that efficiency and integrity are maintained in the business affairs of their organizations. Information on group purposes, structural organization, membership, officers, activities, and finances must be furnished to the Office of Student Life upon request. Policies that are of particular importance are:

• Policies Concerning Student Organizations (Michigan Tech Board of Control policy)
• Student Organization Registration Policy
• Student Organization-Sponsored Social Functions Policy
• Outside Speaker Policy for Student Organizations (Michigan Tech Board of Control policy)
• Chalking Guidelines
• Posting Promotional Materials
• Hazing Policy

For more information on these policies, contact the Office of Student Activities, MUB 112, or check out this website: www.sa.mtu.edu/dean/judicial/policies.

University Closure Guidelines

Michigan Tech is a public trust and as such is committed to providing its services without interruption.

During a closure, faculty and students will be excused from reporting to class. Reasons for closure might include, but are not limited to, a prolonged power outage, prolonged loss of heating capability, or closure of the main highway due to inclement weather.

The president, the provost, or their designated representative may issue a closure declaration. University Communications provides notification through the local media and the University's website.

University Information & Freedom of Information Act

Office of the President

Location: Administration 500

Telephone: 487-2200

Michigan Tech is committed to maintaining a free exchange of information throughout the University community, and it is our general practice to release most types of information immediately upon request.

In addition, as a publicly funded institution, Michigan Tech is subject to the provisions of the state and federal Freedom of Information Acts (FOIA). FOIA requires the University to provide copies of most administrative documents, with the exception of certain legal and personnel records, to anyone filing a FOIA request. If you wish to file a Freedom of Information Act request, or if you would like to view University documents, contact the Office of the President.

University Residency Requirement

The University requires that all single undergraduate students live in a University residence hall during their first year at Michigan Tech. This regulation does not apply to transfer students, graduate students, or students living at home with their parents. Students who are uncertain as to whether they are required to live on campus should contact Residential Services in Wadsworth Hall, 487-2682, for clarification of their status prior to making a commitment for off-campus housing.

Use of Michigan Tech Trademarks

The Michigan Tech name and identifiers, such as the logo, seal, and husky dog, are registered with the federal government. Registered student organizations wishing to display these identifiers on wearing apparel or on other merchandise must have the design approved by the Division of Trademark Licensing, in Technology and Economic Development.
