Dual Credit Instructors

Dual Credit Instructors

Thank you for your interest in teaching Dual Credit with OTC! Many instructors prefer to partner with OTC, due to the ease of student enrollment in classes, extended time for enrollment and payment deadlines, transferability of credits to other college, and the cost is half as much as other providers!

If you are an approved instructor looking for your list of approved courses, see School Partners and Courses.

For more information relevant to instructors, please read information about OTC Dual Credit for schools.

Before Applying to Teach Dual Credit

Before Applying to Teach Dual Credit

Read information about OTC Dual Credit for schools, before proceeding further. Accreditation standards and dual credit policies require dual credit instructors to follow OTC policies and procedures. OTC holds students in dual credit classes to the same academic standards and expectations as post-secondary students. Learning objectives, grading criteria and course materials for Dual Credit classes are the same as course sections at OTC.

Then, review OTC course descriptions to find the course of interest and compare credentials against instructor credentialing requirements to ensure course(s) of interest and instructor credentials align with OTC and accreditation standards.
