Steps to Apply as Non-Degree Seeking

COMPLETE THE MANHATTAN TECH APPLICATION

Create an account and submit the Manhattan Tech Application, along with either a waiver code or the required fee. After you submit your application, please allow about 30 minutes for your checklist to update.

1. Go to the Application Portal

Visit the Manhattan Tech application portal: engage.manhattantech.edu/apply

You’ll see two options:

  • First Time Users
  • Returning Users

2. Create Your Engage Account

If you’ve never started a Manhattan Tech application before, select: First Time Users – Create an Account

Enter:

  • Your name
  • A personal email address (not your school email, not a Manhattan Tech email)
  • Your date of birth
  • A password you will remember

Once you submit the form, you will be emailed a confirmation pin. Open that email and enter the pin to activate your account.

3. Log In to Engage Portal

After activating your account:

  1. Return to engage.manhattantech.edu/apply
  2. Select Returning Users – Log In
  3. Enter your email and password

You will now be logged into your Slate status portal.

4. Start Your Application

Once logged in:

  1. Select Start a New Application
  2. Choose the appropriate application based upon applicant type
  3. Complete all required fields
  4. Submit your application

Make sure all information is accurate—especially your name. Whatever you enter on your application becomes the official name on your Manhattan Tech account.

COMPLETE ANY REQUIRED FORMS OR CHECKLIST ITEMS

After submitting, your status portal will show:

  • Required checklist items.
  • Any forms you still need to complete.
  • Your application status updates.

Check back regularly for updates.

PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT, IF APPLICABLE

Schedule an appointment for the Placement Assessment, if applicable. Manhattan Tech uses the Accuplacer Assessment for placement into math and English courses. Scheduling an assessment test can be completed on our website.

RESET MANHATTAN TECH PASSWORD

Once you’re accepted, you’ll receive an email from Manhattan Tech with instructions to reset your Manhattan Tech account password. Please complete this step before attending orientation.

REGISTRATION AGREEMENT (RA) & PERSONAL INFORMATION UPDATE (PIU)

You will need to login and complete the required PIU and RA before enrollment each semester. After logging in to MATC Online, the RA and PIU can be found on the home page under Course Schedules.

ENROLLMENT, COURSE PAYMENT, & ATTENDANCE

An academic advisor will reach out to assist with enrolling and verifying if any outstanding requirements need to be met to enroll in the specific course(s).

Students must set up a payment option by the first day of class or have communicated with our Student Account Coordinator regarding payment options. If you have questions about tuition, please get in touch with us at 785-320-4512 or studentaccounts@manhattantech.edu. Non-degree-seeking students should consult with FA to determine if they are eligible for financial aid.
