Junior/Senior

Elegibility

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 Documents

• Concurrent Information Packet
• Concurrent Approval Forms
• Concurrent Approval Forms Upload

Please note: 

1. 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.
2. You must include either your OCCC Student ID or birthdate on Page 1.
3. All sections of the forms must be filled out completely. Before submitting your forms, ensure that all areas of the form are completed and that the required signatures are present.
4. These forms can approve a student for an entire academic year, Summer-Fall-Spring, or an individual semester. This is determined by the high school representative. If approved for an entire academic year, the forms need to only be submitted once. If you are approved only for a semester, a new form would be needed for future semesters. Page 2 “OCCC Concurrent Student Financial Responsibility Agreement” form only needs to be submitted once per academic year.
5. If you transfer high schools, Page 1 will need to be completed and submitted again with the new school for approval to continue with registration for the semester/academic year.

Text 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.

What classes can I take?

After you have been admitted and have sent in your Concurrent Approval form, it is time to select your classes. Below is a list of the most common courses concurrently enrolled students have taken.  Students are not limited to the classes on the list. Students need to meet requirements for only one column on the chart below:

 **Due to Covid-19 and disruptions in ACT/SAT/Accuplacer testing, students will be able to use an unweighted 3.0 GPA to take the courses listed above for the Spring 2021 semester only.

Returning Concurrent Students

Continued Eligibility:
Concurrent students must maintain a minimum 2.0 college GPA in order to continue enrollment as a high school student. If a concurrent student is deemed ineligible while in high school, he or she may resume classes upon high school graduation after submitting an official and final high school transcript. 

Process/Procedure:
If a concurrent student is deemed eligible, a returning student must turn in the Concurrent Approval Forms by uploading them to the Concurrent Approval Forms Upload or emailing them to concurrent@occc.edu. 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.

*Please note, you will not be able to enroll online until the Concurrent Approval Forms have been uploaded and processed by the Concurrent Office.  Once the forms have been processed, an e-mail will be sent to your OCCC account informing you of the next steps to take to complete enrollment.
