Starting your college career can be an intimidating process. Classes fill up quickly and figuring out where you need to go and what you need to do can be exhausting. Owens Community College has started a program to make ease the burden of registering for classes for the first time.

Owens is hosting the One-Day Registration Events in July and August for the fall semester classes beginning August 20.

Throughout each registration day, individuals will be able to meet with representatives and complete student registration services specific to admissions, placement testing and new student orientation, among other services. Participants will also be provided with a free lunch or dinner during their visit.

Attendees are required to complete an application prior to attending a designated registration day. Individuals are also required to bring valid picture identification and know their social security number.

One-Day Registration Events will take place July 26 and 30 and August 1, 2, 6, 8 and 9 in College Hall Room 130 on the Toledo-area Campus. Two separate registration sessions will take place each designated day. The first session will occur from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., while the second session will run from 3-9 p.m. Owens is located on Oregon Road in Perrysburg Township. 

"Registering for classes early is important because classes do fill up quickly," says Cory Stine Director of Admissions at Owens.
