Advising Center Making well-informed decisions about college is an important part of each student's responsibility. The Academic Advising Center helps students understand Placement Test results, select a degree program, understand college policies and procedures, and identify transfer options. Students are encouraged to work with their academic departments, meet with faculty or administrative advisors, and use WebAdvisor, an online tool, in their educational planning. WebAdvisor allows students to search and register for classes, check grades, and complete a program evaluation of degree requirements. By developing a sound educational plan, students can achieve their short-and long-term goals. All new full-time students are required to attend OCC's comprehensive New Student Orientation Program. During the program, student will talk with an academic advisor about their goals, choose a degree program, design their own class schedule, learn about sports, clubs and organizations, and take a tour of the campus. The program is designed to enhance new student success. The Academic Advising Center strives to provide students with the chance to grow and broaden their perspectives in a supportive and understanding environment. Students are actively encouraged to use online resources to gather information regarding career exploration, transfer options to four-year colleges, universities, graduate and professional schools as well as scholarship and financial aid opportunities.
