Merit Approved

merit logoOwensboro Community and Technical College celebrates all of our students' successes in many ways! Through Merit Pages, we are able to award "achievements" to students and add to their professional online portfolios.

To earn these "achievements," OCTC students should review the Merit Approved events schedule, and attend these events with their student ID in hand. Your attendance will earn you that achievement automatically in Merit! So keep an eye on both this schedule and your Merit portfolio! Merit Achievement Badge

One more thing! If you're looking at flyers around campus or social media posts about upcoming events, look for a Merit badge. That's another way to know an event is Merit Approved!
