When registering for any and all MTTC exams, please remember to request that your test results be sent to the University of Michigan-Flint. Per instructions from the Michigan Department of Education, we cannot accept your personal copy of your results.
If you fail to have your results reported to UM-Flint, you will be required to order an additional copy to be sent to the University from the testing company at a cost of $15.00. Please note that the University of Michigan-Flint’s institution code is 30. Failure to have your results sent to the University when you initially register for the exams and ordering the additional copy at a later date could result in a delay in the admission process or the recommendation of your certification to the Michigan Department of Education.
