If your TOEFL score is below Michigan Tech's level
Both pages say Michigan Tech does not currently offer an ESL programme, and the undergraduate page adds that it does not accept English proficiency waivers. So there is no conditional route on campus; you need a qualifying score. Graduate applicants from certain countries are exempt from the test under the Graduate School's list of exempt countries.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Michigan Tech programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
