HONORS ORIENTATION
The 2-hour Honors Orientation is an opportunity for prospective and current honor students at OCC to learn about the variety of honors opportunities available on our campus and beyond.
Among other things, the orientation will include the latest information about Honors Program enrollment privileges and benefits; honors conferences; participation in the Honors Student Council (HSC); the differences among the honor societies, the Honors Program, and honors clubs; the honor rolls (President's List, Dean's List, Honors List); Honors Night; scholarships, and more.
Students wishing to apply to the Honors Program must attend at least the first hour of an Honors Orientation before submitting their applications. No Honors Orientation is required for honor society membership, though prospective applicants are certainly welcome to attend.
To reserve a seat in a future Honors Orientation (see list at the bottom of this page), please send an email using your STUDENT EMAIL ACCOUNT ONLY to
hpro@occ.cccd.edu .
NOTE: we will ONLY correspond with you at your student email address.**
Seating may be quite limited, so you may want to give one or two alternate dates in case your first-choice session is filled before your reservation request is received. You may also drop in on a "stand-by" basis to a filled Orientation. There is no guarantee that we will be able to seat you, but we'll do everything we can given space restrictions.
Your reservation will be confirmed by return email. We will send a request to YOUR STUDENT EMAIL account asking you to RE-confirm your planned attendance 72 hours before the scheduled Orientation (think of this as you would for checking in to an airline before flight time). Your initial reservation confirmation will also contain several documents that we'll referred to in the orientation. Please print these out and bring them with you. You may also access these documents here:
