Registration

Registration for credit classes occurs in three phases at Oconee Fall Line Technical College:

  • Advisement and Advanced Registration for currently enrolled students
  • Advisement and Registration for new students
  • Final Advisement and Registration for all students

Advanced Registration

This is a restricted registration held only for currently-enrolled students. Specific registration dates for returning students will be posted. In order to register, students must make an appointment with their advisor, and then students may register via BannerWeb. Students should keep a copy of the unofficial schedule of classes as a reference for the first day of classes for the next semester.

A returning student cannot register for classes unless an advisor approves the student’s schedule of classes. Therefore, a returning student who did not participate in advanced registration must participate in new student registration or final registration.

In order for returning students to participate in online advanced registration, he/she must:

  1. Complete Advisement. Student must contact his or her advisor and make an appointment for advisement. The advisor can register the student at this point, or the student can:
  2. Go to OFTC’s website at www.OFTC.edu and click on the MyOFTC Dashboard link at the top of the page in the header.
  3. Click on MyOFTC Dashboard Login and enter your user name and password to login.

    **If this is the student’s first entry into BannerWeb, his or her User ID is the first part of the assigned OFTC student email address. Please refer to the initial email you received when accepted into OFTC for your User ID and password information. Students should contact the OFTC Information Technology Department if they are having any log-in issues, by phone at 478-274-7873, or by email at itshelp@oftc.edu.

New Student Registration

New Student Registration is a registration session for new, transfer, and readmit students prior to the start of classes. New Student Registration is held at the North Campus, South Campus, Jefferson County Center, and the Little Ocmulgee Instructional Center.

Final Registration

Final Registration is open to all students prior to the beginning of the term. A late registration fee is charged to students who register on or after the first day of classes.

Registration Errors

It is the student’s responsibility to complete the proper forms and procedures for registration or changes to registration and to verify that his or her schedule of classes is correct. The Registrar’s Office cannot be held responsible for errors resulting from the student’s failure to execute the proper procedure or verify his or her schedule at the time it is received. Any problems experienced at registration should be reported immediately to the registrar.

Matriculation

Registration is not complete until tuition and fees are paid. Students who receive any type of financial aid must ensure that all the proper paperwork is complete and returned to the Financial Aid Office via the Verify My FAFSA portal, https://oftc.verifymyfafsa.com, by the posted priority date. Students will be dropped from the courses for which they have attempted to register if tuition and fees are not paid by the last day to pay noted in the OFTC calendar.

Full-Time Student Status

A student must be registered for a minimum of 12 semester credit hours to be considered a full-time student. Students may request documentation of full-time status from the National Student Clearinghouse.
