Welcome to the Okanagan College community

We are excited to have you join us and begin your post-secondary journey at OC. Scroll through the sections below for a complete guide to orientation before the semester begins. We want to make sure you have a smooth transition to OC and are here if you need us!

Steps for a smooth transition into OC

Access your online tools

myOkanagan is the main portal to access web-based information like student records, course schedule, and account summary. You will also find student email in your myOkanagan account.

Moodle is the College’s online learning platform providing access to online course materials and more.

Need info on logging in to these tools? View the Learning tools and resources section in the Student handbook.

Coming to campus - what you need to know

Please perform a personal health check before coming to campus, and stay home when you are sick until you feel well enough to resume regular activities.

  • How effectively you can manage your symptoms, and your symptoms impact on others should be considered when deciding to resume your regular activities.
  • For example, a persistent/uncontrolled cough can impact others, whereas a runny nose may be successfully managed without impacting others.

Please do not come to campus with flu-like symptoms such as fever, vomiting or diarrhea.

Important dates

Be sure to refer to the important dates schedule to confirm when your classes begin and other important dates such as drop deadlines.
