ATTENTION! Close Alert Box Oklahoma City Community College, including the Family and Community Education Center and the Capitol Hill Center, will open on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at 7:00 a.m. All classes and activities will resume as normal.

Employees who cannot reasonably return to work tomorrow should contact their supervisors, if possible.  OCCC has generous leave policies that may be used to take additional days off work, if necessary.

Due to far reaching effects of the recent tornado that damaged Newcastle, Moore and the south Oklahoma City metro, Oklahoma City Community College has extended the deadline by which faculty must turn in final grades. OCCC faculty were asked to have grades turned in by noon today, but some may have been unable to meet this deadline. This could result in delay to grades being posted. Students that have questions about their grades should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

Students who have missed an intersession class are urged to contact their professors about any absences due to the damage resulting from the recent tornado and the closing of the campus.

Additionally, the college will be flexible with students who are enrolled for the summer intersession that started on May 20, 2013. Students who are now unable to attend intersession should contact the Office of the Registrar at 405-682-7512.

PRESIDENT'S WELCOME MESSAGE

Thank you for taking the time to visit the Oklahoma City Community College web site. On our site you'll find information about many of the innovative programs and opportunities available to you at OCCC.

OCCC serves more than 28,000 students annually. For most of our students, completing a college degree is life changing, not only for the student who receives the degree, but also for the student's family; and in a collective sense, transformational for our community. At OCCC, we have always been committed to helping every student realize their educational goals.

We believe our responsibility for our student's success does not end at graduation. We offer a solid background and a firm foundation for a lifetime of learning and accomplishment.

This year we have made another major commitment toward that responsibility. OCCC was chosen as one of 79 community colleges in 16 states to participate in Achieving the Dream: Community Colleges Count. This national initiative focuses on the success of community college students and is designed to help OCCC remain focused on helping our students reach their goals.

The success of our students is the best testimony that an education from Oklahoma City Community College really works. We're proud to say we are making a difference in the lives of our students and our community.

Best Regards,

Dr. Paul W. Sechrist
President
