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 have the option of changing from one program to another while enrolled at the college, provided the student has the necessary qualifications for the change of program and a vacancy is available in the program. Students interested in changing to a different program should first contact the Admissions Office to initiate a change of program and obtain information about the intended program. Next, a student should meet with the Financial Aid Office to obtain information about how the change may affect financial aid. Finally, students still interested in changing to a different program should return to the Admissions Office for completion of the change of program. In the event a student declares a change of program, the student's previously earned credits will be evaluated in terns of the new program. Students must complete the change of program request form on the OFTC website.
Students are allowed to change their program of student for the first 10 days of the full term and the first 7 days of other part of terms. Any change of program request submitted after the time will be processed for the next semester.
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.
