How do I get started at Owens Community College?

The first steps are to complete the online application found at www.owens.edu. If you are interested in obtaining Financial Aid to help pay for school, visit https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa to complete the FAFSA^® (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

The 2025-2026 FAFSA^® application will be used to determine financial aid eligibility for Summer 2025, Fall 2025, and Spring 2026 semesters.

To apply for financial aid, complete the 2025-2026 FAFSA^® using your 2023 tax information. You must sign the application using your FSA ID, which can be obtained as part of the FAFSA^® application.  Dependent students need their parent(s)’ tax information and both the student and at least one parent will need to ‘sign’ the FAFSA^® by entering their FSA ID.  Please do not share your FSA ID with anyone.

Next, please contact Admissions by calling (567) 661-7777 for enrollment next steps.

A $50 late registration fee will be assessed if you initially register for classes after the On-Time Registration Deadline. The $50 late registration fee will apply regardless of when your classes begin. A late registration fee is not assessed during the Summer semester.

For registration dates and deadlines, please visit https://www.owens.edu/records/registration/.
