How to Apply for Admission
How to Apply for Admission
Before you begin...
- Applying is not necessary if you just want to take a class and not work towards a degree at OCC.
- International Students requiring an F1 Visa must use the International Application.
- If you were previously enrolled but have taken some time-off you should first visit the returning student page.
What happens next?
You'll receive an Acceptance Packet in the mail that includes your UserID and initial password so you can log in to your MyOCC account, as well as some other fun stuff.
A Navigator will walk you through the rest of the process and gather necessary documents. If you have any questions or need help at this stage — your Navigator is there for you!
Check out New Student Orientation & Registration! You'll meet your Academic Advisor, learn about our free student support services, plan your schedule, and register for classes!
