Your Online Freshman Advising Folder
Your Online Advising Folder is now available (see Accessing Your Folder below for details).
The folder brings together information and testing results that will help you and your freshman advisor choose subjects and plan your first year.
The Advising Folder shows your reported scores and any MIT credit or placement granted from: advanced placement examinations (AP), international exams (GCE A-Level, International Baccalaureate, etc.), and evaluated math transfer credit. The Advising Folder also includes results from the: HASS-D lottery (if entered), Freshman Essay Evaluation, the Math Diagnostic for Physics Placement, and MIT Advanced Standing Examinations.
Checking Your Online Freshman Advising Folder
You are now able to access your online Freshman Advising Folder. Please check your online Advising Folder to confirm that we have your scores well before you meet with your advisor for Fall Registration.
- Not all information will be in your Folder when it first goes live, so check back several times in late August and early September.
- If information is missing, please follow the instructions on your Advising Folder for having scores reported. For example, if your AP scores are not on your folder, you will find a direct link to the College Board website.
Accessing Your Folder
Your Folder is part of MIT's Student Information System. Access to your personal academic and financial records is limited to you and MIT officials who have a legitimate educational interest (for more information see MIT's Student Information Policy). Given this policy, access to your Folder requires authentication using MIT web certificates. In order to obtain an MIT web certificate, you must first create your MIT Kerberos identity (your MIT email username that you created via your MyMIT page).
You can access your OnLine Freshman Advising Folder from https://sisapp.mit.edu/testscores/FFControl.
Please note: your folder is NOT available between the hours of 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. EDT due to regularly scheduled server maintenance.
