Steps to Become a Dual Enrolled Student

STEP 1 - Complete online application

Step 2 - Submit the Dual Enrollment/FERPA authorization form

High School Sponsored Students: Complete the High School Sponsored Dual Enrollment Form with a parent/guardian.

NOTE: If your high school is not listed in the form's high school drop down list, please email secondary@oaklandcc.edu so that it can be added to the list

Once your High School Counselor (or parent/guardian for self-pay) signs the form, you will receive a copy for your records. 

 Step 3 - Set up your MyOCC account

When your application is processed you will receive two separate emails - One with your OCC Student ID number along with a link to retrieve your username from Admissions and a second email from Online Services with your Temporary Password. 

MyOCC is where you will access your student email account, pre-registration steps, register for classes, payment information, and more.

Step 4 - New student orientation - online

You must complete New Student Orientation before you register for classes. To access orientation, log into MyOCC and select New Student Orientation under the Pre-Registration Steps card. You ONLY have to complete the New Student Orientation and a brief Student Survey at the end. While there are also many Student Lingos that are informative, they are NOT required.

Step 5 - Online Learning Readiness Course (if applicable)

The Online Learning Readiness Course is required before you can register for any online or hybrid classes. Log into MyOCC and select Online Learning Readiness Course under the Pre-Registration Steps card.

Step 6 - Course placement

ENGLISH: You MUST complete OCC’s English Placement unless you have a recent SAT score or qualify for one of the other exemptions.  ENGLISH SECOND LANGUAGE (ESL):  If English not your first language, you are REQUIRED to complete Duolingo for placement.

MATH: If you plan to register for a course that requires math prerequisites, you will need to complete the ALEKS Math Placement unless you have a recent SAT/ACT score or qualify for one of the exemptions.

Step 7 - Schedule a counseling appointment

All incoming first-time college students are now required to meet with an OCC counselor. Once you complete steps 1-5, call to schedule an in-person or virtual  appointment.
