Returning Students

If your MyOCC student account has been inactive for more than three years, you will need to sign in to your existing application account and create a new application. Your new application will be used to update your existing student account.

Note: Not sure if you need to submit a new application? Email admissions@oaklandcc.edu.

As a returning student, you will keep your existing OCC Student ID and username. If you need to reapply, your new application will update and reactivate your existing MyOCC student account.

After your application is processed, you will receive two emails with the information needed to set up your MyOCC account. First, admissions will email your OCC Student ID number and the link to find your username. Then, Online Services will email your Temporary Password.

The Online Learning Readiness Course is required before you can register for online or hybrid classes. Log into MyOCC and select Online Learning Readiness Course (DIST 1000) under Pre-Registration Steps.

OCC encourages you to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) (if you are eligible) to determine if you qualify for scholarship, grant and loan programs through the Federal government and State of Michigan. Once completed, the status of your application and award package can be found in MyOCC under Financial Aid.

As a returning student, you may have an existing placement on file or already completed the English and/or math requirements for your program.

An OCC counselor can answer your questions regarding your student record and to determine if you need to take placement testing or qualify for an exemption.

Meeting with an OCC counselor is highly encouraged for returning students. Counselors can review your program requirements, completed coursework, and assist with course selection.

To schedule an appointment, go to “Make a Counseling Appointment” in MyOCC, or call us at (248) 341-2270. 

Log into your MyOCC account and select Student Planning. Then select Plan your Degree & Register for Classes to search for classes and add them to your plan. After classes have been added to your plan, you can register for them.
