ADMISSIONS CHECKLIST

MATC makes it easy to apply online, but there are a few things you must do to become a student. Below are the to-do items on your Admissions Checklist: 

1. Complete Your Online Application (link)
   Finish the application and pay the $2 fee in order to be considered for admission.  
2. Send Your Final Transcript
   Transcripts help advisors place you in the right courses. (International students are still required to submit a translated transcript that has been evaluated by an approved agency.)
   
   Note: Some programs require an official high school transcript before you can take core courses. Visit matc.edu/course-catalog to find out your program’s requirements.
   
   What do you submit? It depends based on your experience:
   
   • Final high school transcripts with graduation date from an accredited institution
   • GED/HSED diploma (submit scores if available)
   • Homeschool PI-1206 form and detailed transcript
   • College/university transcript
   • International transcripts
     
     
   Here’s how to submit your transcript for it to be considered official: 
   • Online via Parchment (link) : Choose apply@matc.edu as the recipient email.
   • This is MATC’s preferred method. 
   • By Mail: 700 W. State Street, Milwaukee, WI 53233, ATTN: Admissions
   • In Person: Drop off a sealed transcript at any MATC Admissions Center. Do not open the envelope.
3. Create Your Self-Service Account (link)
   Self-Service is an online tool that helps you register for classes, pay tuition and fees, and check on your financial aid status. Here’s how to sign up for an account: 
   Visit selfservice.matc.edu and click “Forgot your username?” Your username will be sent to the email account you used when you applied. 
   Enter your username at selfservice.matc.edu. On the next form, enter your MATC email address. 
   Change your password. Your default password begins with Sp26$ and ends with the month and day of your birth. For example, if your day of birth is August 3, the default password is: Sp26$0803 
4. Complete Online New Student Orientation. Completion is required. Visit go2orientation.com/matc and log in using your MATC email address and password. 
5. Register for Classes In Person at Express Enrollment (link)   Attendance is required.
   Meet academic advisors, register for classes and get help with financial aid questions. 
   If you miss the Express Enrollment sessions, you can register for classes at selfservice.matc.edu or visit your Academic and Career Pathway office for assistance. Note: High school seniors who attend a Registration Jam do not sign up for Express Enrollment. 
6. Attend In-Person Orientation (link) 
   New students must attend an in-person New Student Orientation, which is offered the week prior to the start of the Fall and Spring semesters.
7. Pay for Tuition and Fees (link)
   There are many ways to pay for college. Apply for financial aid early to maximize your options. Visit MATC Financial Aid (link) for more information about the financial aid process at the college. To access financial aid, you must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (link).
