Owensboro Community and Technical College has announced tentative plans for both their summer classes and the fall term.

Beginning Aug. 17, fall classes will be offered in a variety of formats, barring any further disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic.

OCTC will offer fully online as well as face-to-face classes, plus some options that are a mixture of both for the fall semester. Face-to-face classes will have a strong online or remote instruction component, so if in-person classes must be conducted virtually for a while, the transition will be easier for students.

The college will also offer a variety of scheduling options, including 16-week and 8-week sessions.

OCTC is developing plans to meet physical distancing and health requirements for in-person delivery and strengthening virtual student support for online and remote classes.

Summer classes at OCTC will begin soon and are available in an online-only format. A few hands-on classes with labs and clinicals are tentatively scheduled for July, if Gov. Andy Beshear’s timelines for facility use allows.

Students and prospective students can enroll online at owensboro.kctcs.edu or call 270-686-4400 for more information.

OCTC will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and follow the governor’s guidelines regarding higher education for the fall term.
