Find the Resources That Help You Succeed at OCC

Many people want to go to college or return to school—but don’t always know what help is available to make it possible. At Oakland Community College (OCC), there are far more resources than most students realize, and navigating them shouldn’t be a barrier to education.

That’s why Robin McGregor is committed to helping people understand what resources are available to them—so cost, uncertainty, or lack of information never stops someone from starting or returning to school.

This page connects you to clear, reliable resources that help you start college, come back to finish, or stay on track once you’re enrolled.
