5 Submit a Visiting Student Registration Request Form

After activating your Ozone account, please complete the Visiting Student Registration Request Form, located on your Student Information card. The Office of Academic Advising will use this form to register you for classes.

Visiting Students do not need to send official or unofficial transcripts to Owens.

To find course sections, use the Class Schedule Search. You will need to include subject code, course number, and section number for each course. Failure to include these details may delay your registration.

After completing the Request Form, monitor your Owens Student Email for registration confirmation details or error resolution instructions.

Please submit a new Request Form before each semester when you take a course at Owens as a visiting student.

6 Payment Options

After you register for courses, you can pay your balance online from the Make a Payment link in your Financials Hub in Workday. Please review our Payments and Refunds webpage for additional information on making a payment or setting up a Deferred Payment Plan.

If you typically receive financial aid, contact your home institution’s financial aid office to ask if you qualify for a consortium agreement. The consortium agreement allows financial aid to be based on your combined enrollment at both institutions. Your financial aid will continue to be managed and disbursed to you by your homeschool. It is important to know that you are responsible for paying your balance to Owens Community College. However, your enrollment in classes at Owens Community College will be held if a consortium agreement is approved and on file with Owens.
