Student Services

Housing
Although MTI does not own any student housing, the Student Services office maintains a current list of available housing in the Mitchell area. The Student Services Office has information for renters regarding agreements. Students are urged to be aware of their tenant rights and responsibilities.

Counseling Services
Qualified counseling staff for students seeking personal counseling, career counseling, or placement services are available during school hours or by appointment.

Nontraditional Student Services

Mitchell Technical Institute provides assistance to prospective and enrolled nontraditional MTI students, particularly single parents and displaced homemakers. These services include:

  • Career assessment
  • Admissions process assistance
  • Childcare providers listing
  • Social service assistance
  • Community resources information and referrals
  • Commuters’ network
  • Support groups.

Food Service
Meals are served on the main campus for a charge during the hours students are in attendance. Meal tickets are available in the Business Office. Tickets may be used to purchase any food on the cafeteria line, at the short order window, or in the Oak Room.

Insurance
During school time and school-sponsored events, MTI students are covered under group accident insurance that provides secondary coverage. (This is not major medical insurance coverage.) Additional health insurance must be purchased directly from an insurance carrier.

Students have the responsibility to communicate with their individual health insurance providers to make sure that coverage requirements are met. Dropping classes or withdrawing from school can have an impact on insurance coverage. Students and their parents should be aware of these issues.

Bookstore
Students may purchase required books and supplies in the MTI Bookstore located in the main building. School theme items are also available. The Bookstore is open each class day and during the summer. Hours are posted. Cash, check, or credit card can be used for purchases at the MTI Bookstore.

Student Computer Use
Student access to personal computers is available in the Instructional Services Center (ISC), the cafeteria, and at various times in other computer laboratories.

All enrolled students must follow the computer and email usage policies published in the MTI Student Handbook. Violation of those policies will result in disciplinary action.

Instructional Services Center
The Instructional Serviced Center (ISC) library provides a quiet study place for students. The library contains program materials, periodicals, and books for student use. Internet, the worldwide computer network, is available for student research. Additionally, the ISC offers help to students in reading, math, grammar, technical terminology, and spelling, individually or in groups. Student tutors for several course areas are also available.

Student Activities
MTI offers a wide variety of organized student activities sponsored by the Student Senate in cooperation with the Student Services office. Activities include intramural sports; social events; picnics; musical events; entertainment; etc. Additionally, each MTI student has access to the Mitchell Recreation Center. A calendar of student activities is published biweekly in the student newsletter, TECH TREK.

Placement
MTI's full time Career Services Coordinator offers assistance to program graduates by providing employment leads and, in some instances, bringing employment interviewers to campus. Several workshops and job seeking-related activities are sponsored each year. The Career Services office maintains a comprehensive web site for students to post resumes and for employers to post job openings. For more information or job search assistance, contact the Career Services Coordinator.
