How do I clear a financial hold?

I am a current student with an active MyOCC account 

I am a former student and do not have an active MyOCC account

Current Students:
If you have a registration fee hold on your account you may pay the fee balance via your MyOCC account using a Visa, Master Card or Discover Card. The hold release process runs nightly and you will be able to add or drop classes after 5 am the next day. Students are responsible for verifying that the drop was successful by printing a “Student Class Program”

If you are attempting to “Drop” a class and cannot due to a hold you may mail a Student Course Withdrawal Form (postmarked by US Postmaster) by the withdrawal deadline date to:

Orange Coast College
Attn: Registration
PO Box 5005
Costa Mesa, CA 92628-5005

OCC recommends that you send your request via certified mail to ensure that it is postmarked by the deadline date.

If you are unable to drop a class online or postmark a mailed request by the withdrawal deadline, you MUST send an email by the deadline date to arinfo@occ.cccd.edu with the following information:

Your Name
Student ID number
The course you are attempting to drop
An explanation of why you cannot drop on MyOCC

We will contact you the next business day

Holds on Account - Former Student

You may pay an outstanding fee balance by printing, completing and returning the "Options for Paying Fees" form. The form may be faxed or mailed to OCC. The payment will be processed the next business day after the form is received and any holds will be cleared the same day.

If you need information about the amount owed please contact the Answer Center at 714 432-5772 during business hours.
