Prepare for Enrollment

  • Meet with your high school counselor or team to discuss how OSTC fits into your graduation plan.

  • Opportunities to visit OSTC-NW include 10th grade class tours, School Day Visits, and after-school Open Houses. See dates and details below.
  • Once you decide on a program, submit an enrollment request through our website. You will designate a first-choice program and, if you have one, a second choice.
  • After you submit an enrollment request, your high school counselor/scheduling team will review it and, if approved, will process your request.
  • OSTC-NW will begin placing students in February 2027 in preparation for the 2027-2028 school year.
  • Students returning to OSTC for a second year of study can skip these steps.

School Day Visits

For Students Only

During a Day Visit, you will have the opportunity to spend time in two programs of interest. Not sure which programs to choose for your visit? See below for a list of program offerings and a link you can click on to find detailed information on each program. You will also find various OSTC publications in your high school’s counseling office.  If you wish to visit a program not offered at OSTC-NW, please contact the campus that hosts that specific program.

All Day Visits take place during the PM Session at OSTC-NW (11:20am to 1:50pm). Students must alert their high school counselor of their interest in OSTC and desire to participate in a Day Visit. Your high school counselor will provide you with information about the OSTC shuttle bus, and any requirements they may have for you to participate. A Day Visit to OSTC will be considered a school related absence. Day Visits are for students only. Parents are invited to attend our annual Career Night or Open House with their student.

Registration is required for attending a day visit. All submissions must be at least 48 hours in advance.
