Become a Student As some courses are popular, it is a good idea to look at different timetables in ClassFinder that would work for you. Print your personal timetables or save them to your computer.

myOkanagan Overview

The student tab in your myOkanagan account is your self-serve counter. You can add and drop courses, pay your tuition, print your tax forms and so much more.

Once you have a look at the basic "How-to" information below, just go ahead and browse around your myOkanagan Student Tab. It is easier than you think! 

The Registration link allows you to register for your classes or drop them if you no longer wish to attend. (Click on Add or Drop Classes once in the Registration section.) 

Let's have a quick look at how to add a class.

 
 MyOC Add Classes

Most students build their timetable in ClassFinder first and then simply register for the classes they have chosen by typing the CRNs (Course Reference Numbers) into the myOkanagan screen below (Add or Drop Classes).

Note: if your chosen class has two components such as a lab and a lecture, you will have to use Class Search - entering the CRN will not add both components of the class.

Submit Changes to save the class selections and register for the classes. You are then able to look at your class schedule and pay for your classes after submitting your changes.

Class Search allows you to search for classes if you decided to skip building your timetable in ClassFinder.  

 
 MyOC Look Up Classes
  
Look Up Classes by clicking on the Class Search button at the bottom of the Add or Drop Class screen above.
In the example above, we searched for an Anthropology class in Kelowna in the Winter 2010 semester. You can choose which class you like and Register or Add to Worksheet. Your worksheet is similar to a shopping cart where your selection is saved until you are ready to check out and register.

Become a Student Pay for your courses online or wait until the tuition fee deadline. You may pay online with credit card or through online banking - simply add Okanagan College as a payee when you are logged into your bank account. Or, come to any campus to pay by credit card, cash, cheque or money order.

Important changes coming August 10, 2012: Okanagan College will no longer accept credit cards for domestic tuition and several other fees and services. You will still be able to pay through online banking, debit card in person, cash and cheque. For more information visit www.okanagan.bc.ca/creditcardchanges.
Become a Student If we do not receive your full tuition fee payment by the fee payment deadline, you will be removed from all your classes. If you decide to pay at that point and your chosen classes are full, your name will move to the bottom of the waitlist.
