Technology

Students must comply with OFTC’s Acceptable Computer and Internet Use policy when using any OFTC computer or technology resource. Complete information on how to use all technology resources is available online.

BannerWeb

BannerWeb is used to check the status of financial aid, sign up for classes, drop classes, check final grades, and more.

Blackboard

Information about Blackboard and online class accounts is available online on OFTCs website. Blackboard information sessions are held during New Student Orientation. For help with Blackboard, contact your instructor first. Class information will not be available in Blackboard until the first day of class.

Degree Works

See a list of classes that you must take for your major, check your progress towards graduation, read notes from your advisor, email your advisor, view academic standing and GPA, and more, through DegreeWorks. Your advisor can also arrange the classes that you need into future semester blocks so that you can plan your schedule and graduate on time.

OneDrive

Students may save their classwork, important documents, and other education-related files to their cloud-based OneDrive. OneDrive (and files saved to OneDrive) can be accessed at any time from any computer (either at OFTC or off-campus) with internet connectivity.

Office 365

OFTC students have free access to several Microsoft Office 365 products including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.

Student Email

Email is the official form of communication for OFTC. It is critical that students check their student email frequently to stay up-to-date on student activities, important dates and deadlines, financial aid information, career fairs, and more.

OKTA

OFTC uses a single sign-on service called Okta (accessed with login through MyOFTC Dashboard) that allows users to log into a variety of systems using one centralized process. You will use this login to access eCampus, Blackboard, Banner, DegreeWorks, and more.

As a security tool, Okta authenticates you as an OFTC student and helps to protect your identity and keep your data secure.

Using Computers on Campus

Computers are available for students to use in the Libraries and computer labs.
