Getting Started - Current OTC Student

  1. Run a degree audit. You can either do this on MyOTC or have a copy printed out in Student Services. A degree audit will show which classes are still needed to complete your degree.

  2. Apply for financial aid, if needed.  Information regarding financial aid and related deadlines is available on the Financial Aid area of the website.

  3. Verification of Lawful Status. Missouri House Bill 1549 requires each student verify he or she is lawfully in the United States before enrolling in classes.  Many students will do this electronically by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).  Students planning to register for classes before their FAFSA has arrived at OTC or students not planning to complete the FAFSA will need to submit another form of documentation.

  4. Plan your class schedule.  View the schedule online or pick up a printed copy at an OTC location.  Advising assistance is available from your assigned advisor.  Be sure to bring a photo ID with you. 

  5. Register for classes. You can register online or come to Student Services. If wish to register in Student Services, you must provide photo ID. The earlier you register, the more choices you will have in class offerings and times.

    In order to register online or use many other MyOTC functions, you will need a user name and password. The "Online Help" will provide you with user name and password instructions.  If you have problems logging in, call the Help Desk at (417) 447-7548.
