EMU-Traverse City 2008

You can register if the class is not full right up until the first day of class by registering online using the my.emich registration system or by using the Continuing Education Course Registration Form. You should not be assessed a $50 late registration fee if you register before the class starts.

There are some courses that have online components and may prevent students from registering up until the first day of class.

If you are unable to register because of a restriction, please contact our office and we will do what we can to help.

How do I get an override if the class is full or there is a pre-requisite or department permission?

You can e-mail the instructor for an override or contact the EMU-Traverse City office 877.368.8289 and we will be able to tell you if the class is accepting enrollments.

Does it cost more to take an EMU-Traverse City class?

The tuition and fees are the same as an on-campus class except an additional $55 per class fee. This fee is generated because of Class Room Rental, Media Service, and equipment at an office site campus. The cost for housing, meals and transportation for your week in Traverse City are additional costs and NOT included in the $55.

Can I use Financial Aid to pay for my housing or transportation?

Please call the Financial Aid Office at 734.487.0455

Classes will be held at three of the following locations:
NMC -- Northwestern Michigan College (Front Street)
NMC UC -- Northwestern Michigan College University Center (Dendrinos Drive, off Cass Street)
M-TEC Center -- Michigan Technical Education-Aviation Center (Aero Park Drive)

The class locations will be posted at our Traverse City web site under the "courses" page two weeks before the class starts. We will also have the locations listed on our voicemail and posted throughout the main campus and the University Center the start of the classes.

Are there computer facilities available?

Yes, you will be given a username and password as well as the hours and locations of the computer labs at the beginning of your class from an EMU-Traverse City staff member. Unlike Eastern Michigan University you are required to pay for any pages you print (10 cents a page) and you must bring your own disk to save your documents.

Is there EMU staff on-site? Where can I find them?

The EMU-Traverse City staff members will greet you the first day of class and provide you with information on Traverse City and the NMC campus. The Eastern Office is at the following location:

Shannon Ward, Manager
Jacqui Frensley, Customer Service Rep
231.995.1750
NMC Main Campus
East Front Street
Lower Level of East Hall
(Below the housing office)

What if I can't make it on time?

If you come to class late or cannot make the first class meeting, you can call the EMU-Traverse City office at 877.368.8289 and we will try and get a message to your instructor. You are responsible for the missed material.

How do I drop a class?

EMU-Traverse City classes can be dropped up until the first day of class. If the University's drop deadlines have passed you can still drop at a 100% minus the Registration fee of $40 by faxing a letter with your Name, Date, Signature, EID number, Course CRN number, Course prefix, of the class you would like to drop to the Traverse City office. FAX: 231.995.1751

If you use the My.Emich system to drop your course, there is a possibility you will NOT receive 100%. Please contact our office if you have questions.

If you drop all your classes for the semester there is a non-refundable $40 registration fee.

When will I receive a grade for the class?

The grades for one-week classes are posted on the my.emich site and are NOT mailed through the postal mail at the end of the regular spring or summer semester. If the class takes place at the end of the semester, there may not be time for the instructor to grade the materials and have a grade posted immediately; in that case you would receive an "I" for incomplete until the materials are turned in or graded. We suggest asking the instructor when the grades will be posted before you leave class. Many times the instructor will allow you to email them requesting your grade.
