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.


Photography Emphasis

Our Photography Emphasis is a full digital program. We no longer offer traditional darkroom or film photography and have added more specialized classes to prepare our students to operate in this all-digital environment.

In this emphasis, students will demonstrate knowledge of DSLR camera operations, exposure, exposure controls, lenses, depth of field, shutter speeds, existing lighting, and basic lighting techniques using studio lighting and electronic flash. They will also demonstrate the skills used in publication photography, catalog and advertising photography, portraits and will photograph subjects both in the studio and on location.

Their skills will include special lighting, compositional techniques, posing techniques, and publication requirements used in photographing news events and photo essays both in the studio and on location. Student's training will also include Adobe Photoshop software on the Macintosh computer.
