Registration

How do I register for my first semester?

Step One: Apply to OCC at www.ocean.edu. Visit THE HUB (in-person or online)  for more information.

Step Two: Fill out a New Student Registration Form. An advisor will create your schedule based on your preferences!

Step Three:  Sign up for an Express Enrollment Day* at go.ocean.edu/events. Visit our campus and meet with an Academic Advisor.

*Do you attend a high school in Ocean County? Ask your guidance counselor if your school is scheduled to visit OCC for a high school Express Enrollment Day.

What do I need to send to OCC?
