Auditing a Course

A student may audit a course to gain a general understanding of a subject matter. The student must submit a completed Audit Course Intent Form at the time of registration. (Forms can be requested from Enrollment Services.) A student may not change his/her registration status from audit to credit or vice versa once the course has started. All course prerequisites must be met at the time of registration. Only undergraduate (UG) level courses can be audited.

A student auditing a course must pay the same tuition and fees as a student enrolled for credit. Per the 1999 Wisconsin Act 154, individuals who are 60 years of age or older are exempt from paying tuition when auditing a course. Any age 60+ auditor must be a resident of Wisconsin and will be required to pay course material fees and all other applicable student fees.

Auditing a course requires a student to meet attendance requirements, participate in classroom activities and complete all assignments required for the course; however, they do not complete examinations. Students who complete these course requirements are assigned a grade of “AU” (audit). Students who fail to complete these course requirements receive a grade of “W” (withdrawn).

A student does not earn course credit for auditing a course. Audited courses may not be used to satisfy the prerequisites or requirements for other courses. Courses taken on an audit basis are not part of the student’s credit load for financial aid, veterans’ benefits, or for any other purpose for which the college is asked to certify a student’s enrollment status.

The college administration reserves the right to restrict the auditing of any course. Audit options are provided on a space-available basis. Students auditing a course may be administratively withdrawn (with a full refund) in the event that the course fills and students seek to enroll for credit.

Tuition Refund/Late Withdrawal Appeals

Moraine Park Technical College students are responsible for knowing college academic policies as outlined in the College Catalog as well as the Academic Calendar.
The College does recognize that there are times when a student experiences an extenuating or unexpected emergency or hardship that interferes with the student’s ability to attend and/or successfully complete classes that may warrant an exception or appeal.

The Tuition Refund Appeal form or Late Withdrawal Form must be filled out completely and supporting documentation is required. At the time of a qualifying event, students are encouraged to work with their instructors to see if arrangements can be made to complete class work.

Third-Party Sponsorship Information

A third-party organization may sponsor a student’s enrollment by committing to paying a student’s tuition and fees.
For more information, visit the Third-Party Sponsor Information web page.

Why do I need a username and Student ID number?

You will need your Moraine Park username to access your student account and email.

• (example: sjohnson3)

Your Student ID number was assigned by Moraine Park Technical College and is unique to you. It is attached to your academic and financial records at the school and will be requested by staff during registration for classes or if you wish to receive information about your student records.

• (example: N00123456)

You are eligible to activate a student account if one of these criteria is met:

• You have been accepted into a Moraine Park Technical College program for previous, current or future term.
• You have registered for a class that begins in current term, future term, or began in previous term.

Do I Need to Open a Student Account?

If you are taking Continuing Education/Personal Enrichment or Traffic Safety courses you are NOTrequired to set up an MPTC student account.

• However, you are welcome to set up your account if you would like the option to Pay online and register yourself for future courses.

Your Student Email is Crucial for Success

Once you register for a class or are admitted to a program, you’re assigned a student email account.  This is how the College will send important information such as registration details, class cancelations, financial aid and payment notices, teacher messages, and more. We recommend that you check it daily.

Before you can set up your student email account, you will need to open your myMPTC Student account. Setting up your account will provide you with your username and allow you to set your own password. You will need your myMPTC username and password to set up your student email account.

• myMPTC username (example: sjohnson3)
• myMPTC password (the password you set when you opened your account)

What is Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)?

Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is an additional layer of security that makes it harder for hackers to log in to your account. With MFA, you will use something you know (your password) with something you have (your phone) to confirm your identity when signing in.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is REQUIRED for everyone accessing Moraine Park online systems; this includes Canvas and the Microsoft online environment.

Forgot your password?

No problem, you can follow these instructions to reset it.

Helpful reminders regarding password complexity requirements.

• Must be at least 14 characters long
• Cannot include any part of your username, first name, or last name
• Must contain at least three of these four elements:
  • upper case letter
  • lower case letter
  • number
  • special character (not including the $ or @ symbols)
