Double Majors

Oconee Fall Line Technical College does not allow a student to enroll in two different programs at the same time unless the program is a technical certificate of credit embedded in a diploma or degree. Oconee Fall Line Technical College’s procedure is that a student must complete all requirements for one program before applying and being accepted into another program.

Change of Program

Students desiring to change their program of study must complete the appropriate forms prior to the start of the semester in which the program change is desired and meet all the admissions standards for their new program of study. If the program to which the student is attempting to transfer has additional admissions requirements, the student must complete the requirements and will be admitted on a first-admitted, first-qualified basis. Students changing to an Associate of Applied Science Degree should complete a change of program form by midterm.

Change of Address/Name

Students are responsible for notifying the Registrar’s Office of any change of address or name. OFTC will mail all notices and official correspondence to the last address on the student’s record which then constitutes official notification. Students should complete and sign the Information Change Request on the OFTC website and provide proper documentation for name changes. If a student reapplies to the college with a different name, the student must also provide proper documentation for the change to be valid.
