IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR INCOMING STUDENT-ATHLETES

What do you need to do to register for classes?

The three steps needed to be able to register at OCC are:

(1)Apply to Orange Coast College;

(2)Complete English and Math placement tests;

(3)Complete orientation.

Students must complete all three steps

to be able to register for classes.

NOTE: If you have already completed coursework at another college, you will need to submit OFFICIAL (sealed in an envelope) transcripts as soon as possible for verification of course equivalencies. These are needed for accurate student educational planning.

How do you apply?

Apply online: http://www.orangecoastcollege.edu/

There is no cost and the time needed to fill out an application is only a few minutes.

How and when should you sign up for the English and math placement tests?

Call 714-432-5789 to sign up for the tests or go to the Assessment Center on the first floor of Watson Hall. English and math placement tests should be completed BEFORE attending an orientation.

How do you sign up for an Orientation?

You may choose to attend a general population orientation, a SOAR orientation, an Athlete Orientation, or complete an online orientation. Completion of any orientation will clear step #3 of the matriculation process. The Athlete Orientation will be different only insofar as some special student-athlete issues and eligibility rules will be discussed.

Call 714-432-5078 or go to the front desk of the Counseling Division (third floor of Watson Hall) to sign up for a general, SOAR, or online orientation.

Student-athletes must call or see Judi Lagerlof (Matriculation office) directly to sign up for Athlete Orientations. Her e-mail is jlagerlof@occ.cccd.edu; phone number is 714-432-5696.

How do you actually register for classes?

Students register for their classes online via their MyOCC Account that can be accessed from the www.orangecoastcollege.edu home page.
