Thank you for your interest in teaching Dual Credit with OTC! Before completing the Dual Credit application process below, review course descriptions and compare your experiences with instructor credentialing requirements to ensure potential course offerings and instructor credentials align with OTC standards.

The college requires that dual credit instructors follow OTC policies and procedures.
