Guest Students

Cut the cost, but not your education.

Many students attending another college or university attend OCC as a guest student,  when they are home or even during a semester while still enrolled at the other school.

If you are interested in being a guest student, your first step is to discuss this with your counselor at your home institution to ensure the classes taken at OCC will transfer back to your home institution. It may be necessary to supply a copy of your college transcript to OCC so we are aware of OCC prerequisite courses you have completed at your home institution.

For every semester you plan to attend OCC as a guest student, you will need to complete a Guest Application.  At the conclusion of your semester at OCC, and make sure to have your official transcript sent from OCC to your home institution.
