Financial Aid Forms
Forms and Documentation Submissions Guidelines
The Financial Aid Office’s primary means of communicating important information to students is through their Brightspace email account. Email accounts are established upon acceptance to the College.
- Students will be responsible for checking their student email on a frequent and consistent basis to remain informed of OCtech communications, as certain communications may be time sensitive.
- In addition, students are expected to follow up on any request for information and/or documentation required for processing their financial aid via their Self Service Account.
- Students are now able to complete, submit, and upload the required forms and additional requested documentation via Self Service.
- Include student’s name and Student ID on all documents.
- Please note, until we have received all requested document(s), the Office of Financial is unable to offer you a financial aid award.

Financial Aid Forms
Most of our forms use an electronic form submission process called Dynamic Forms. If you receive notification that you need to submit a required form, you can find this on your Self Service account under the “Required Document” section of Financial Aid.
Forms will be automatically submitted to the Financial Aid Office when you electronically sign the form(s) after completion.
For more information about using Dynamic Forms, please visit this page: DYNAMIC FORMS
If you have not been accepted as a student at Orangeburg-Calhoun Technical College, you will not have access to student email or Self Service. To get information about your acceptance status please call the Admissions Office at 803.535.1234 or email askme@octech.edu Please note, until we have received all requested document(s), the Office of Financial is unable to offer you a financial aid award.
Submitting Tax Information for Verification
If you are selected for verification, you may submit a copy of your IRS tax return transcript or federal tax return. When submitting your IRS tax return transcript or federal tax return, you must also submit copies of all of your tax return schedules (ex. schedule A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J, R, SE and/or 8812) along with other verification forms requested. If submitting a federal tax return, a handwritten signature on the tax return is required.
