OAKLAND COUNTY, Michigan – The store displays and shelves tell us school is just around the corner and summer sales remind us the rush is on to nab these last “lazy days” of the season.
For many, classes start early – before the traditional day after Labor Day – including at Oakland Community College.
Fall semester at OCC starts Monday, August 27. Registration for the start of OCC fall classes closes August 24. New students must apply by August 15.
