Registration
- Check that you’ve taken any required prerequisites. These are classes you must take before the class you’ve chosen.
- Make sure you register for any required corequisites. These are classes you must take at the same time as the class you’ve chosen. For example, some science classes have lecture sections and corequisite lab sections.
Priority Registration is the first day of registration and is the day before Open Registration begins.
Priority Registration is available to students who have completed 30 or more overall credits.
Each semester, registration is open to all until the day before the first day of the semester. During the first week of the semester (the Drop/Add Period), you may continue registering for classes, even if the class has already started.
NOTE: Late-start classes are also available that do not start until after the Drop/Add Period.
The Drop/Add Period occurs the first week of each semester. During this time, you may continue registering for classes, even if the class has already started.
If you register into a class that has already started, you are strongly encouraged to contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss class material that was missed.
NOTE: Late-start classes are also available that do not start until after the Drop/Add Period.
You may drop a class using MyOCC during registration periods.
NOTE: Classes dropped after the drop/add deadline may not be eligible for tuition
refunds.
All drop deadlines can be viewed in MyOCC under the Student Quick Link card by clicking on the Section Deadline Dates link, or at Section Deadline Dates.
