MyOTC Information
MyOTC is a web technology called a "portal" that is a fast and easy access point to resources at Ozarks Technical Community College. The MyOTC website gives faculty, staff, and students a single point of access to services that OTC provides.
MyOTC is an essential tool to the OTC community, and can be accessed via the OTC home page or directly at https://my.otc.edu.
Course Survey
The "course survey" tab is available for students to provide feedback on their instructors. As per state law, all public Missouri colleges and universities are to solicit and post consumer information for faculty. Please help us provide this information by giving thoughtful feedback on your instructor. A more comprehensive student evaluation may take place to obtain additional information for the college's confidential personnel process
All survey submissions are completely anonymous and can't be traced to an individual student.
Aggregated survey results will be made available through OTC's website for use during future registrations.
AccessOTC
When a student uses AccessOTC, they can access online registration, financial aid information, grades, and various other academic profile information.
Storage
The "Storage" tab contains links to personal folders. This allows you to work on a project anywhere, store it in the storage and retrieve it from another computer. This is especially useful for moving things from home to school and back. Students are able to store 20 MB worth of data in the MyOTC Storage.
Resources
The resources tab gives faculty, staff, and students online access to Library Research Databases.
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.
OTC Webmail
All members of the OTC community (faculty, staff, and students) benefit from this resource. OTC e-mail is accessed via MyOTC under the tab, Webmail. The Webmail tab makes your OTC e-mail available to you from anywhere you have internet access. This is important because the OTC Webmail system is the only official channel for communication of e-mail between faculty, staff, and students.
Blackboard
This tab takes you to OTC's online learning platform, Blackboard Academic Suite 9. If you take online courses at OTC, you will use Blackboard extensively -- to view announcements from your instructors, to access your lessons and other course materials, and to discuss relevant concepts and readings with your classmates and instructors.
