Online Registration
At OCCC, we understand that it is not always convenient to come to campus to enroll for your classes. In Fall 2016 we implemented a new software that will assist with understanding the requirements for the degree you are pursuing as well as has an integrated registration function.
For detailed information on how to operate the registration software, please watch the online tutorials and/or download the instructions.
9 Terms to Understand when Online Registering
Degree Plan- A degree plan is an outline of all courses that you will need to complete in order to earn your degree or certificate.
Pre-requisite- A class students are required to complete in preparation for other classes.
Co-requisite- A course that can be taken at the same time as another course.
Timeline- The Timeline shows you all of the semesters you have planned in the software.
Financial Responsibility Form- This is an online form that needs to be filled out for each semester that a student wants to enroll in. The form outlines the financial obligations that the student takes on when registering for courses.
Granted Petition- This means that the course requires permission to enroll in to it. Typically, this means that the Faculty member teaching the class needs to give permission to enroll.
Overload- This means that you are attempting too many hours in a given time period and will need to speak to an Academic Advisor to get approval to register in the amount of hours you are trying to.
Planned- This means that you have added a section of a class to your calendar schedule in the software but have not completed the registration process.
Register- This means that you have pushed the registration button in the software and you are officially enrolled into the class.
