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.
