Contents Click here to go to the index We want to make your enrollment at Orange Coast College as easy as possible. It begins when you complete and file an application form in the Admissions Office, either in person, by mail or by our internet web site. New students will then take placement tests in English, reading and math. These tests are designed to help the student select courses which will lead to academic success.
Placement testing is followed by an orientation and counseling session.
At this time counselors will help with the selection of appropriate courses and you will receive your permit to register. If a choice of a major is any one of the many allied health career programs, students must go through a special admission process in addition to the activities described above. Additional information may be found in this section.
