Classes at OTC begin August 21 for the fall semester.

It’s almost time for school to start back up again after the summer break, and Ozarks Technical Community College is hosting events Saturday, August 12, to help students prepare for the new semester.

All OTC locations will be open from 9 a.m. to noon. Student services staff will help students with last-minute admissions, enrollment, advising, financial aid and student accounts services needs.

The OTC Bookstore at the Springfield campus will be open Saturday for students who need to purchase class materials. Students who will attend other OTC locations can have their course materials shipped to them for free.
