Enrolling in college takes time. While OTC does not have set admission deadlines, you should plan ahead and make sure you give yourself enough time to complete the admissions steps and schedule your classes.

OTC Admissions Timeline
I plan to attend OTC in:
When should I complete the admissions steps?
When do I register for classes?
Fall
It’s best to start the admissions process by mid-March so you can be ready to register for classes by mid-April. Registration for classes begins in mid-April and the best class times can fill up fast.
Once registration begins, you can register for classes up until the day before the start date of the semester. Late registration continues through the 2nd day of the semester.
Spring
It’s best to start the admissions process by mid-October so you can be ready to register by mid-November. Registration for classes begins in mid-November and the best class times can fill up fast.
Once registration begins, you can register for classes up until the day before the start date of the semester. Late registration continues through the 2nd day of the semester.
