Guest Students

Attend OCC as a Guest Student and cut the cost, not your education! Complete one to two classes each year and join the workforce ahead of schedule!

Taking summer classes is a popular option for students who are home for the summer. Completing summer coursework can allow students to graduate one to two semesters earlier.

Some even attend during fall and winter semesters. Our online options make this even easier.

Before you register:

  • Confirm your OCC class selections count toward your degree with your home institution’s advising staff.
  • Confirm that there are not prerequisite courses that will prevent you from registering for your OCC class selections.
