Emergency Notification

  • A messaging system is in place to alert students and staff of school emergencies and closings. Participation in this system is voluntary but is highly recommended. Your cell phone must be able to accept text messages to receive mobile alerts. If your phone does not accept text messages you can still receive the alerts via email. To sign up go to "MyOTC" and click on the "Emergency Notification" tab. To complete the signup process you must reply to the text message or email. OTC will not send spam or advertising through this system.

PASS System

  • The PASS system allows faculty, staff & students to reset their passwords from on and off campus at anytime. In order to do this, you must create a profile. A profile consists of answering 5 specific questions that you select. If you haven't created your profile, you will be asked to the next time you login to a computer on campus. This should only take about five minutes. Once you have created your profile, you are done. There is no need to change your password. For more information visit Online Help PASS System.
