OC Tech Fall17

Published

Is anyone applying or has already been accepted to OC Tech?

If that seems blunt, I apologize. I just know that I was told the program expects you to perform and it is challenging. You must make a B or higher in all of your nursing classes or you're dismissed from the program. Which is why they look for strong GPA's during the application process. I'm nervous myself, however I'm confident I can maintain a B when I start.

Did you already receive your acceptance letter?

Yes. I received a contingent letter which means I'd be accepted based on the results from my background check which costs $117. I've never been arrested, so I wasn't worried. I received that letter Feb 24th. There's a deadline to have the check completed. It took about 2 wks after, I received an email from the admissions office stating my letter was on the way. My official acceptance letter came in the mail 2 days later.

Did you receive a letter about orientation? My background check came back around 3 weeks ago, and I haven't heard anything else from them yet.

I never realized you messaged me privately back in March and just received a email about you commenting on this post. My bad for the late response, I've answered both questions below.

No. The final acceptance letter only had information about how to setup the D2L student email and the connect accounts. It also advise you to pay a $50 deposit to hold your seat in the program. There is a deadline for that as well, I believe they give you nearly 2 weeks. You wont receive a letter about orientation until the end of May. Orientation will be held on multiple days in June. I'm sure at the orientation they will go over every other detail need for the program.

Ok thank you. I received the letter about the deposit the day after I received the letter for the background check.

If you received the letter about the deposit, then you should have your official acceptance letter. That is when you're notified of the $50.00 deposit to hold your spot.

Awesome! I didn't check my mall yesterday so I'll take a peek. Hoping we can get a group for car pool and maybe a study group

Yes, Car pooling would be really good to do. We could rotate days of the week which will save us all on gas and mileage.
