PLEASE COMPLETE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO ENROLL:
STEP 1 – APPLY FOR ADMISSION – You may apply on-line (via the OCC website) for the first semester you plan to attend. You do not
need to reapply in subsequent semesters unless you skip 2 primary semesters or will be graduating from high school to attend as a
first-time college student.
STEP 2 – COMPLETE THE DUAL ENROLLMENT FORM (this form) – Complete this form after you are admitted and have received your
OCC Student ID Number. Have your high school principal or designated alternate complete the “Principal’s Recommendations
Section” then email this form to dualenrollment@occ.cccd.edu
. Once this form has been received and processed, Dual Enrollment
will post permission to take the course(s) listed on this form so that you may register on or after your registration date and time. You
will be notified by OCC email when the form is processed.
STEP 3 – REGISTER FOR THE COURSE(S) – You may register for the course(s) for which you have been approved anytime on or after
your registration date and time. You must meet all course pre-requisites. After you register, you are responsible to pay your
semester fees. If the course(s) you are approved for is closed, you may petition the course(s) by attending the first-class meeting and
requesting an “Add Permit” from the instructor (follow the instructions to register on the permit). NOTE: you are not permitted to
waitlist classes.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR SUCCESS AT ORANGE COAST COLLEGE
1. TRANSCRIPTS - Enrollment at Orange Coast College creates an official college transcript, which is released only with the request
and signature of the student regardless of the student’s age. You are fully responsible for your academic and financial record
after you have registered for your course. If you choose to designate someone else to handle your records transaction(s), the
person designated must present written authorization signed by you (the student), and some form of photo identification at the
time of the transaction. Grades are available approximately 15 working days after the end of the semester. Students may access
their grades via the MyCoast portal. Official transcripts may be ordered several weeks before the end of the semester and are
processed in the order received once grades are available.
2. FEES - Students enrolled in Dual Enrollment and classified as California residents under Title V Education Code, do not pay the
per unit enrollment fee. However, Dual Enrollment students are charged the Health Fee, College Service Charge, Student
Representation Fee, and any material fees if applicable.
3. FIRST DAY OF CLASS - Students must attend the first-class meeting or risk being replaced by another student at the discretion of
the instructor. A one-semester course typically covers the content of a full-year high school course. OCC students are expected
to study a minimum of two hours outside of class for each hour of classroom instruction.
4. DROPPING A CLASS - If you decide not to attend, official withdrawal from the course on MyCoast is your responsibility. There
are specific deadlines for fee obligation, refunds, “W” grades, and letter grades. Please check your Student Class Program (Web
Schedule Bill) via your MyCoast portal, OCC website, or call the Answer Center at (714) 432-5772 to verify deadlines.
