Student Success Weeks
MITT uses the 7-1-7 academic model to set students up for success. Students have seven weeks of classes, a Student Success Week, and seven more weeks of classes. During Student Success Weeks, there are no classes, allowing students to catch up on studies and access additional sessions and supports.
