Step 5: Register for classes

Know if your employer is going to be paying your classes or if you will be paying your tuition up front; or seeking reimbursement from your employer. If your employer is paying for your classes, the ‘selection of classes’ will be authorized by your employer and your registration of class(s) will be completed by the Engineering, Manufacturing and Industrial Technologies (EMIT) department at OCC. If you are paying for your own classes, you must register for your classes at MyOCC. For assistance, contact: Enrollment Services at (248) 341-2280.
