Admissions Policy
The policy of OCCC is that all persons regardless of color, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, creed, or disability have access to higher education. Students under 16 years of age may enroll in accordance with the Underage Student Admission Policy. Students desiring to appeal an admissions decision may pursue the Conflict Resolution (Student Grievance Procedure) Policy 835. Some programs may have specific admission policies and procedures. General admission to the college does not preclude students from course or program placement or prerequisite requirements. Complete admissions policies are available at all college centers.

Attendance Policy
Students should bring their registration forms to the first class meeting as proof of registration. After the second week, students are not allowed to remain in class without officially registering.

Students are expected to attend all class meetings of the courses in which they are enrolled. Students are also responsible for all class work assigned. If the first class session is not attended, and the instructor is not contacted before the first class session, students may be dropped from the class at the instructor’s option.
