Tips for Success:1) Registration Know your appt. date/timeBe prepared with your course selectionsRegister and pay your fees! Avoid being DFNPd! (dropped for non-payment of fees) Check online DFNP schedule for your drop date! Dont expect Financial Aid to pay your fees! BOGFW only covers fees, not other charges. (health fee, service charge, etc)DFNPs are Mondays, and Thursdays at noon

2) WaitlistsUse the waitlist function on MyOCCLook for Waitlist notifications on MyOCCRegister within 24 hour expiration timeNo options to be put back on top

Tips for Success:

Add PermitsFollow Directions on Add Permit 1-107- Enter Add Code, click Validate8- Finalize add/drop, click pay fees9-Print your Student Class Program (web schedule bill) to verify enrollment10-Verify with Instructor that you are on updated class roster!

Note: Registration after the expiration date on the Add Permit is not an option!

Tips for Success : 1) Student Education Plans (SEPs) Meet with your Counselor early and oftenWhen you make an appointment, keep it! Rescheduling will cause delays2) If you change your major, you will need an updated Education Plan. 3) Follow your SEP when choosing courses to register into. 4) When choosing courses, click course CRN for important information including course Pre-requisites or Co-requisites to make sure you qualify for the course. 5) If a course you want requires a Pre-requisite, clear it at least 30 days prior to your registration appointment date. Enrollment Center 1st floor, Watson Hall.

Tips for Success:1) Apply Early for Graduation from OCCGraduation Petitions are available in the Graduation Office, 1st floor Watson Hall and on the OCC website under Enrollment Center/Graduation 2) Apply for Graduation at the beginning of your final semester at OCC. This will allow the Graduation Office to verify your Degree requirements. The Graduation Petitioning periods are: Spring Jan 2nd, thru March 1st, Summer, July 1st thru August 1st, Fall, September 1st thru November 1st. Late Graduation Petitions are not an option! 3) Contacting OCC after you arrive at your new destination is not smart. The Graduation Office cannot drop what they are doing to clear you so that you can play on Saturday! 4) If you need a Graduation Verification Letter, see the Graduation Specialist early on in the process.

Tips for Success:HOLDS: 1 Make sure you dont owe any money to OCC before you leave! It will create a hold on your account. 2 Holds prevent you from getting transcripts, earning your graduation award3 Turn in your equipment ! If you dont you will get a hold4 Unpaid parking permits also cause a hold on your account 5 Turn in any books, equipment, etcto the library, division office, etc Dont let holds keep you from your goals
