Successful transfer from Ocean County College requires careful planning. Through online services, the Academic Advising staff can help you access information on two- and four-year colleges/universities. Advisors will help you plan your course of study to parallel the first two years at the four-year institution where you plan to transfer. Students interested in transferring should meet with an advisor early in their career with OCC.
