Membership Benefits

Your membership card entitles you to the following benefits formally extended by the OCC Board of Trustees on June 24, 1993:

  • For non-faculty retirees, a tuition waiver will be granted to you and your spouse covering tuition and the student support fee for one class, up to four billable contact hours, each semester.  Before registering, complete the Tuition Authorization Affidavit form and submit to Human Resources.  Your tuition waiver is date- sensitive and must be complete (with payment if applicable) by the payment deadline.  If your tuition waiver/payment is not made by the last day to pay, you will be dropped from your class.
  • Retired fulltime faculty members and spouses shall be granted tuition reimbursement upon completion of courses (section 3.9 of the Faculty Master Agreement). To receive reimbursement, the retired faculty member must provide Human Resources with proof of payment and the grade report.  
  • 50% discount on two tickets for any campus-sponsored cultural event. Tickets may be purchased at any campus bookstore.
  • Use of physical education facilities with the same conditions/costs required of full-time employees.
  • Informal luncheons.
  • Seminars and workshops.
  • Attendance at commencement with cap and gown provided by OCC.
  • Professional development information (see page 33).
  • Access to campus libraries, including computers.

You may be required to show a valid OCCARP membership card to receive the above benefits.
