 Tuition
The student's tuition and fees are established by the
college's Board of Trustees and are subject to change
at any time. Failure to make payment at the time of
registration for tuition and fees may cause cancellation
of your class schedule. In the event your schedule is
canceled for non-payment, you will not be able to attend
OCC unless you re-register and pay immediately, provided
that registration and courses are still open for selection.
For County Students
At publication, tuition for a certified resident of
Ocean County is based on a per credit hour charge
of $92.00. The total cost for educating each student
is determined by dividing the cost of operating the
college by the estimated number of full-time equated
students attending the college. The state's contribution
per student is subtracted. The balance is shared between
the county, the student and other miscellaneous sources.
For Eligible Out-of-County Residents
Students attending a county community college outside
their county of residence are eligible for the prevailing
in-county tuition rate under the following conditions:
(1) the county of residence does not sponsor a county
college, or (2) the college in the county of residence
certifies that it does not offer the particular course
or program of study desired by the applicant, or (3)
the college in the county of residence certifies that
it cannot admit the applicant into a particular course.
Under chargeback legislation, the sending county is
obligated to contribute toward tuition. For required
documentation, contact the Registration and Records
Office at 732.255.0400, extension 2423.
A copy of the student's College Skills Assessment
test scores must be submitted before a chargeback
can be considered. If eligible, the student should
request an 'Inability to Admit' form from the college
in his/her county of residence and a 'Certificate
of Residence for the Purpose of Chargeback' form from
his/her county fiscal officer. These forms should
be presented to the Cashier's Office at Ocean County
College immediately following registration. If the
forms are not submitted, the student must pay out-of-county
tuition rates. Out-of-county students should contact
the Office of Registrations and Records for more information
concerning the Chargeback Law.

Verification
A student's application may be selected for review
in a process called Verification. In this process,
a school is required to compare information from the
application with signed copies of the Federal Tax
Forms, W-2 Forms or other financial documents. The
law says the school is required to ask the student
for this information before awarding aid. If the student
is selected, please be aware of the following document
submission deadlines. NO AID will be awarded
until a file is complete. If we do not receive
the information in a timely manner, students should
expect to pay for their tuition,
fees and books until the file is complete
and the student is awarded.
