Academic Advising

Welcome! The Advising and Transfer Services Office is located in the new Student Enrollment Building (#9).

Students are encouraged to use Student Planning to plan and register for summer and fall classes. For more information, please visit our Virtual Advising page.

Visit go.ocean.edu/AdvisingVideos for step-by-step video tutorials on how to plan and register for your next semester and avoid registration issues.

OCC has four academic schools, including liberal arts and humanities, business management and social sciences, nursing and STEM. Each school offers a variety of degrees and certificates.  Within each of the three degree types are several choices of programs (or majors). Students should choose a major that aligns with their transfer plans and career goals.

Successful transfer from OCC requires planning. The Academic Advising staff can help students access information on two- and four-year colleges/universities and plan courses to parallel the first two years at the four-year institution where they plan to transfer. Students interested in transferring should meet with an advisor early in their career with OCC. For more information, view a tutorial on how to use NJ Transfer.

OCC provides students a wealth of academic and campus resources. In Advising and Transfer Services, we work to connect students with appropriate campus resources, helping you access all the benefits OCC offers.
