Academic Activity Defined

For students to receive federal financial aid, students must demonstrate academic activity. If academic activity is not confirmed in each class, federal financial aid will be cancelled or reduced based upon the classes where academic activity is confirmed. After 10 consecutive school days of inactivity, a student may be administratively withdrawn from all courses.

The United States Department of Education defines Academic Activity as:

Physical attendance where there is direct interaction between the instructor and student;
Completion and submission of an academic assignment, quiz or exam;
Participation in a study group as assigned by the instructor;
Participation in an online discussion;
Initiated contact with the instructor pertaining to an academic course.

Academic Activity is NOT:

Logging into an online class or MyMTI
Meeting with an academic advisor or student success coach

Attendance in all courses is considered critical at MTI. Academic success and student learning are closely related to attendance and participation.

All rosters shall be cleared of inactive enrollment as of the 10th day of the semester. Inactive enrollment results when students do not attend the first 10 days of class.
