Future Members

Minimum Requirements:
Mesabi Range Community and Technical College Phi Theta Kappa applicants must have completed a minimum of 15 college credits, with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher. All applicants must submit a completed Membership Application, Profile Form, and  one-time lifetime membership fee of $50, which should be paid to the Mesabi Range Community and Technical College cashier or directly to Phi Theta Kappa. The $50 fee is a one-time charge that pays for each member's International Dues, Regional Dues, and Chapter Fees.

At the beginning of each quarter, names of eligible members are compiled onto a list. The list is then checked for current and alumni member names. Once this is completed the letters are mailed.

Once a member has decided to join, they must attend  an orientation, which takes about one hour. At the orientation there is a short DVD Presentation given. Eligible members have the opportunity to ask questions. If you have any questions and cannot attend one the orientations please feel free to email us at m.ray@mr.mnscu.edu.

Once a person joins Phi Theta Kappa, they will receive a certificate, membership card and Phi Theta Kappa pin. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa is lifelong. When a person graduates from Mesabi Range Community and Technical College, they will immediately become an Alumni and may participate in alumni activities. If a person transfers to another college with a Phi Theta Kappa chapter, they will automatically be eligible to participate in member activities as an active member of their new college's chapter.

Mesabi Range Community and Technical College requires a cumulative GPA of 3.50 to maintain active member status. If a member were to fall below this required GPA, they would have a one-quarter probationary period to raise their GPA. If the member were still unable to raise their GPA after their probationary period, that person would be reduced to inactive status, and thus unable to participate in Phi Theta Kappa events or access Phi Theta Kappa benefits, until they were able to meet the required GPA requirements.
