Enrollment Center FAQ
Enrollment Center FAQ What do I do after I apply for admission?
There are several steps required after you apply for admission. If you apply online you will receive an email with instructions as to which steps need to be completed before you will be permitted to register for classes. If you don't receive a confirmation email within a few minutes of applying for admission, check your junk mail folder (some Internet providers filter out our emails.) You will receive another email approximately 5 business days after submitting your application. Make sure to read it because it will contain important instructions on how to complete your admissions process. If you don't receive an email within 2-5 business days, please call the Answer Center at (714) 432-5772.
How do I submit a change of address, phone number, or email address?
You can change your address information via MyOCC.
How do I order a transcript?
You may order an official transcript one of three ways. Please visit the transcript information page for more information.
Where should I submit my payment for registration fees?
You may pay your registration fees for the current term via credit card on your MyOCC portal page or by check or money order. If you're paying by check or money order, you may pay in person during business hours at the Records/Registration window on the 1st floor of Watson Hall. You can mail your payment to: Orange Coast College, Attn: Registration, PO Box 5005, Costa Mesa, CA 92628-5005. You may also drop your payment off in the payment drop box located in the 1st floor lobby area of Watson Hall. If you mail or drop off your payment you are responsible for verifying that the payment was posted by printing your Student Class Program on your MyOCC account.
What are the registration fees and do I have to pay them all?
Some of the registration fees are mandatory and some of them are optional. Please visit the fee information page for more specific information.
How do I take a class for the pass/no-pass option instead of a grade?
Not all classes can be taken on a pass/no pass basis. If the class schedule indicates that the course has a "graded or credit option" (listed in the details section on the online class schedule), you may opt to take the course for pass or no-pass instead of a letter grade. You must submit your request to the Enrollment Center (Student Records) prior to the Grade Option Request deadline. Visit the grading options page for more information and deadlines.
Do I have to reapply for admission if I've attended OCC before?
If you are enrolled in the current semester, you do not need to reapply for admission. If you applied for a past semester but never registered for classes, you must reapply for admission. If you've previously attended OCC, but missed the last semester, you must reapply for admission.
How do I apply for an Associate in Arts Degree, Associate of Science Degree, or Certificate of Achievement (graduation)?
All students wishing to receive an AA Degree, AS Degree, and/or Certificate of Achievement must apply for graduation during their last term. For more information on graduation requirements, application, and deadlines, please visit the graduation page.
What can I do if a class is closed (full) when I try to register?
If you would like to register for a class that's closed, you have two options. The first option is to add yourself to the wailist for the class. If someone drops the class or is dropped for non-payment of fees from the class, the first person on the waitlist will receive an email notification via their MyOCC student email account and can add the class within the time allowed via their MyOCC account. The second option is to attend the first class meeting and ask the instructor for an ADD PERMIT. Arrive early for your best chance. If it's an online class, you can email the instructor to request an ADD PERMIT. Once the course begins, the registration system will require an Add Authorization Code in order to register, which is located on the ADD PERMIT. Follow the instructions on the permit to register for the course by the stated deadline.
How do I request a refund?
To be eligible for a refund you must officially drop the course by the stated refund deadline (see the Dates to Remember for refund deadlines.) REFUNDS WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY PROCESSED - Refunds will be processed every Wednesday beginning the first week of registration of the semester in which the fees were paid and each week thereafter until the end of the term. Once you have officially dropped your courses by the refund deadline, you will see a credit balance on your account for fees paid for those courses. Most payments made by credit card through MyOCC after will automatically be refunded to the credit card used for payment. Please allow 6-10 business days for the credit to post to your account.
Payments made in person, via check, cash, credit card or money order, will be issued via check and mailed to the address the Admissions Office has on file. Please verify that your address on file is correct. You can update your mailing address via MyOCC, under the Student Tab, and then click on Self Service.
How can I get a copy of my semester grades from the last term?
Semester grades are not mailed. However, you can access your grades via your MyOCC portal page. For more information about semester grades and how to obtain a hard copy, please visit the semester grades page .
