Early College for High School Students

New Egypt High School

The Early College at the High School program offers high school students the opportunity to earn credits during their regular high school day. These courses are set up through articulation agreements between OCC and individual school districts. Each course meets the standards and curricular requirements of a college class taught at OCC and are taught by high school teachers possessing academic credentials that meet college adjunct requirements.

Each participating district offers a different number of classes each year based on teacher eligibility and course content.  Interested students can contact their school to find out if they are a partner, what classes are offered, and how to register.

Step 3: Complete the Required Parental Consent Form (Required)

Once you have completed your self-registration on Ocean Connect, your parent/guardian is required to complete the Parental Consent Form. This form can be filled out online for your convenience but please note that it you will be required to log in to Ocean Connect. It should be filled out by both the parent and the student. This form is required for all high school students to secure their OCC courses. A PDF version of the form can be found here. Please see below for upcoming courses available at your school.

Step 4: FERPA Form for Parent Access (Optional)

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 is a United States federal law that governs access to educational information and records. This act protects a student who has reached 18 years of age or is attending a college at any age (including dual-enrolled high school students).

This form can be filled out online for your convenience but please note that it you will be required to log in to Ocean Connect: Authorization to Release FERPA Protected Information (Online Form).

A PDF version can be found here: Authorization to Release FERPA Protected Information (PDF). PDF forms can be filled out and emailed to earlycollege@ocean.edu with a legible copy of the student’s government issued photo ID or Student ID Card.

Additional details regarding FERPA and Student Proxy can be found on our FERPA Webpage.

*Some dual enrollment courses are marked as transcript required. This means you must meet the listed prerequisite in one of the following ways:
• You have already taken the prerequisite course at Ocean County College, or
• You completed an equivalent course at your high school (this is limited to MATH-196, MATH-265, PHYS-281, and some world language courses.)

If you are using a high school course to meet the prerequisite, send proof of completion as a high school transcript at least two weeks before the registration deadline for the term. You or your guidance counselor should email the transcript to registrar@ocean.edu. In the message, clearly note the course you want the prerequisite applied to.

What to include in your email:
• Student full name
• OCC student ID, if available
• Term you plan to enroll in
• Course code and title that needs the prerequisite waiver

Next Steps:
• The Registrar’s Office will review your transcript
• You will be notified when the waiver has been applied
• After the waiver is applied, you will be able to register for the course

**This course is a total of 4 credits, consisting of a 3-credit lecture and a 1-credit lab. When you enroll, you will register for the 3-credit lecture course and be billed for all 4 credits. The 1-credit lab will be added to your schedule automatically at the start of the term and will not generate a separate bill. For transfer and academic record purposes, both the lecture and lab courses will appear on your transcript.
