Junior/Senior Concurrent Program
Eligibility
Admission requirements:
Accredited high schools: in order to be eligible to enroll in concurrent classes, you must either have a 3.0 unweighted GPA, ACT Composite or Pre-ACT of 19; or SAT or PSAT of 990. The ACT/Pre-ACT Composite of 19; or SAT/PSAT of 990; or the 3.0 will get you admitted, but you must also meet the sub-scores for the courses you are planning to take at the college. Sub-scores can be met through official ACT scores, PLAN scores, Pre-SAT, SAT or taking college placement tests.
Homeschooled/unaccredited high schools: Students must provide an ACT Composite of 19 or SAT 990 score for admission.

Concurrent Approval Forms
Concurrent Approval Forms Upload
Please note:
- You must be admitted and must enter your OCCC ID and OCCC e-mail address to upload. If you do not have your Student ID number, you may enter seven zeros: 000000.
- You must include your birthdate on the forms.
- All sections of the forms must be filled out completely. Before submitting your forms, ensure that the following areas are completed: name, current high school, semester, Junior or Senior status, number of classes taken at the high school, counselor signature, and student and parent/guardian signatures.
- The Concurrent Approval forms are required every semester while you are taking concurrent courses. Even though classes are taught in 8-week terms, the forms are still submitted once for each semester: Summer, Fall, and Spring.
Textbook Information
Students are responsible for the textbooks of all courses in which they enroll at OCCC. To view or search for course material, you can go to our bookstore.
Terms to know:
- Open Source- All coursework is available for free via your classroom professor or within Moodle (the online learning environment).
- OCCC Day One Access- This is a service provided for students that makes your course materials available to you digitally, within your class on Moodle, on the first day of class. There is a charge for the eTextbooks and/or Courseware. This price is extremely competitive and even cheaper than purchasing directly from the publisher. The charge varies slightly from book to book and is automatically added to your OCCC student account.
