Owensboro, KY (07/31/2020) — Owensboro Community & Technical College (OCTC) is hosting Pathfinder Day (orientation) for new, readmitted, and transfer students, on Friday, August 7. Check-in is at 8:30 a.m. for those with last names beginning with A-L, and at 10:30 a.m. for those students with last names beginning with M-Z.
The event will be held at OCTC's Main Campus, at 4800 New Hartford Road, Owensboro, and should enter campus using the New Hartford Road entrance, across from WKU-Owensboro. The healthy check-in will be held in the campus mall area located in a tent set-up in front of the Campus Center. Masks are mandatory and physical distancing will be required.
Students will receive a Pathfinder Day Guide so they can select the options that best suit their needs. Faculty and staff will be on hand to help answer questions. Reservations are not necessary, more information can be found at https://owensboro.kctcs.edu/pathfinderday/.
OCTC fall classes will begin as scheduled on August 17, 2020. Healthy At OCTC plans are in place to ensure that students and employees will be safe and healthy. Classes are available in-person, online, or hybrid-a combination of both in-person and online.
Classes with face-to-face meetings will find that OCTC campuses look and feel different with the new Healthy At OCTC protocols. For example, face coverings are required, access is limited, and designated entry and exit points control flow to minimize incidental contact. In addition, new sanitizing protocols, daily healthy check-ins, and physical distancing are mandatory.
