Midterm & Final Grades
You can find midterm and final grades along with additional important student information in MyOTC on the grades tab. Students may also view their unofficial transcript in MyOTC. Ozarks Tech does not mail midterm or final grades through the US mail. However, students who need a hard copy of the grades may request a transcript.
Grading System
Ozarks Tech issues official grades for each student at the end of each semester. The college will grade students enrolled in credit courses by the letter grade system and assign them a grade point average (GPA) for each semester. We determine GPA by dividing the total number of grade points by the number of credit hours attempted. To calculate your GPA, use the GPA calculator. Ozarks Tech requires an Ozarks Tech Cumulative GPA of 2.0 for graduation, unless otherwise indicated through your program of study. The college does not include developmental courses and transfer credits in the Ozarks Tech Cumulative GPA computation.
For more information about grades and the grading system, view the Grading System Policy.
