In an effort to keep the OTC community safe and do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19, Commencement and Grad Prep have been postponed indefinitely.
We understand that commencement is an important part of the OTC experience and we want to honor our students while still keeping our community safe. Graduates will receive additional communications about alternative commencement plans in the coming weeks, and updates will be posted here as they are available.
You must apply to graduate, even if you do not intend to walk in the graduation ceremony, in order to receive your diploma or transfer to another institution.
Before you complete the application for graduation, you should review your degree audit in the student planning tab on myOTC. Double-check that the correct program of study is listed and that you have either completed or are in progress in all courses required to complete your program. If you have questions about your degree audit please contact your assigned advisor.
It’s easy to apply for graduation online in myOTC. You can also download the Printable Application for Graduation, scan it or take a picture of it with your phone, and then email it to registrar@otc.edu. We are currently not able to accept them in person.
Some programs of study may require an exit assessment. Click here for more information.
The USDE requires all students graduating from OTC who have borrowed from the Federal Family Education Loan Program (FFEL) or Direct Loan Program to complete student loan exit counseling. Click here for more information.
