As
a full-time student at Ocean County
College, you will receive notification through your Ocean Cruiser email account in October
and March giving you information about the next semester's registration process. You can find your faculty advisor's name through WebAdvisor and clicking "My Profile." The following steps are key to your success:
Step One: Planning
Step Two: Academic Advising
Step Three: Registration
The
Student's Role: To make decisions concerning
academic plans, to understand educational requirements,
and to select suitable courses.
The
Faculty Advisor's Role: To facilitate a student's
exploration of academic plans, to clarify college requirements
and important policies, and to assist in the selection
of suitable courses.
The Academic Advising Process
- During
your first semester you will be assigned to a faculty
advisor with whom you will meet for the duration
of your enrollment at OCC.
- You
will receive an email on Ocean Cruiser each semester reminding you
to make an appointment with your faculty advisor.
- Each
semester, it is your responsibility to schedule an
appointment with your faculty advisor during scheduled
office hours posted outside your faculty advisor's
office. If you are unable to arrange an appointment
with your faculty advisor, please contact the Administrative
Assistant in your advisor's departmental office. If
you are uncertain of your faculty advisor's name or
department, please contact Academic Advising Center
at 732-255-0300.
- Know
your major and review your program requirements within
the college
catalog before meeting with your faculty advisor.
- Access
NJ Transfer,
a web-based resource for obtaining information on
New Jersey's four-year college transfer programs of
study. Click on "Plan Degree Program" to determine which OCC courses satisfy four-year college degree requirements.
- Use
WebAdvisor to conduct a degree audit by clicking "Program Evaluation" to determine
your progress in completing degree requirements. After
completing a degree audit, search for dates and times
of courses you plan to register for next semester.
- Come to your faculty advisor appointment with your Program Evaluation and a
tentative schedule of courses listed on your registration
form.
- Be prepared to ask your faculty advisor questions and
inquire about other sources of information or referrals.
