Spring semester classes begin on Wednesday, Jan. 19. OCC had a total of 12,770 students registered for spring classes Monday morning, compared to 12,845 for the same date last year. That's a decrease of slightly over one-half of one percent.
Students appear to be enrolling in heavier class loads for the spring semester, however.
Enrollment is up in total semester hours taken by almost one percent, total units taken by 0.8 percent, and total seats occupied by 0.7 percent. Applications for spring classes are being accepted in OCC's Admissions Office. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Fridays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The campus will be closed for the holidays, Dec. 18 through Jan. 2. Spring class schedules have been mailed to all households in the Coast Community College District. Schedules are also available, free of charge, in the Admissions Office.
