OTC Offers Help to Vatterott Students Impacted by the School's Closure

OTC

Ozarks Technical Community College officials are hoping Vatterott College students left without a school after the for-profit institution suddenly closed this week, will consider continuing their education with OTC.  They've invited Vatterott students to meet with OTC Student Services to explore options.  

According to OTC, college staff will be available Wednesday and Thursday (12/19-12/20) from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Friday (12/21) from 8 a.m. to noon to answer questions regarding the application process, transfer of credit and financial aid assistance.

Those who attend should take a photo ID, college transcripts and their Federal Student Aid identification number (if known).  OTC officials say students may also begin the transfer application process online for free. 

Students may call 417-447-6900 or email admissions@otc.edu for help with the transfer process.
