Apply for college admission and financial aid in one night.
You don’t have to complete your college admission and financial aid application alone. Central Ohio Technical College (COTC) is hosting an application event to help students submit the free COTC application for admission and the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on Wednesday, Nov. 2 from 4–7 p.m. at the Knox campus. Students and their family members are welcome to drop in at any time during the three-hour event.
COTC admissions representatives and student financial services representatives will be available to assist students as they complete their admission application and FAFSA in our Knox campus computer lab. In addition, a financial aid information session will be offered at 4 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6 p.m.
Registration is encouraged. Please register at go.cotc.edu/appnight. For additional information, contact the COTC admissions office at 740.392.2526 or cotcadmissions@mail.cotc.edu.
COTC’s Knox campus is located at 236 S. Main St. in Mount Vernon.
Free College Program Available for Knox County Residents
Knox County residents may attend COTC for free.

The COTC Promise programs are open to new, current or returning COTC students who do not already hold a bachelor’s or associate degree and can be used for classes at any COTC campus. Eligible students must be current Knox County residents who have lived in the county for at least one year. See cotc.edu/promise for more details.
