More Academic Resources

As an OCtech student, you have access to a wide range of resources and services. You can easily access everything you need through our website and D2L.
Math tutors are available to assist you during normal Math Lab hours - Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8am-5pm and Tuesday from 8am-8pm. Students can make an appointment, but walk-ins are welcome. The Math Lab is located on the second floor of Building S, directly across from the elevator.
Make an appointment to review content, study skills, time management, learning styles and notetaking. Tutors may designate times for group sessions to accommodate students.
