Questions
Does OTC require the high school to use the same book?Yes. But we understand book purchasing
cycles and will work with you on off years to approve current book.
Are students successful in online classes?Overwhelmingly yes. These students are
chosen by GPA and by you as ready to start college level courses. Over 100 students participate in online courses every semester and 99% are successful. Is it hard work? Yes, but many students are ready for the challenge.
Early Start
Early Start
Early Start is designed for high school students taking courses outside of their normal high school load.
Regular college tuition
Eligible for up to two courses per semester
Why Early Start vs. Dual Credit?
SUMMER BREAK! The number one time when students take Early Start courses is during summer break. Students can complete a summer college course at the OTC campuses, or education centers, or online.
Students don’t have time in their high school schedule to add a college course.
Courses not available at their high school for dual credit.
FastTrack

• FastTrack students are able to take courses at any OTC campus or education center during their high school hours and the high school is responsible for the tuition.

Why would the high school pay for the courses?You do not have instructors to teach dual credit coursesYou don’t have space for dual credit coursesYou do not want to and/or have the technology to
participate in online coursesIt’s a great opportunity for high school
students to get a real taste of college life!
FastTrack Tuition

to participate and how many courses they can take Example: only recommended seniors can take one
course per semester Example: juniors and seniors can take two courses per
