2020 Oakland Technical Early College Application Process

This early college general application will be in the Enrolltrack system and be available once
you claim your space in your OSTC program that has an early college option and select that
you are interested in the Oakland Technical Early College program.

The following forms will be available in the Enrolltrack system

Part 1 – Download Oakland Technical Early College Counselor Recommendation Form. Fill in
areas marked for the student. Bring this form to your high school counselor and have them
complete their portion and email or send back to Ben Morin at Oakland Schools.

Part 2 – Download the HS Approval Form. Fill out your information and have your HS
Counselor or School Official sign. You will keep this signed form and upload it as part of your
OCC online application (TASK 3)

Part 3 – Download the FERPA Release Form, fill out your information on it and upload it in the
FERPA space in the Enrolltrack system.

Apply to OCC and complete enrollment steps. Click Oakland CC High School Dual-Enrolled
and complete Steps 1-3 (for Step 1 and 3 use the HS approval form you got signed in TASK 2
and upload that form into your OCC online application).

• For Step 1 - Use the HS approval form you got signed from your HS
• For step 2 - Enter personal information and contact information. Remember to be sure to enter an email address that is accessible and frequently checked by someone. Email is the main method of communication by OCC.
  • Under "Academic Plans”:
    • Admit Type: “I will be attending OCC while still in high school”
    • Entry Term: Fall 20** (**Year you will attended)
    • Career Cluster: High School Dual Enrollment
    • Academic Program: High School Dual Enrollment
    • Location: Choose any OCC campus. Your choice does not limit you to one campus. It is merely to select the campus to which your records will be assigned.
• Complete Step 3 - Upload the HS Authorization Form you got signed from your HS
  • Once OCC processes the application, you will receive an email (sent to the email used in the application) with your OCC ID. This does not mean that you are accepted into the Oakland Technical Early College Program.
• Complete Step 4 - Set up your myOCC email.
• Complete Step 5 - New Student Orientation Online
  • Log into your myOCC account and select Student and then New Student Orientation
  • Many of the instructions in the New Student Orientation are written for traditional OCC students, not Oakland Technical Early College students. You should not make an appointment with an OCC counselor yet. You also don’t need to be concerned about Financial Aid, paying for classes, or buying books.
  • When you have finished all lessons and the brief Student Survey, you must click "Mark Course Completed". Failure to do so will prevent you from taking the required ACCUPLACER Test
• Step 6 - Complete Placement Testing (See Task 4 below) and upload your score report back into the Enrolltrack System

readiness for college-level English coursework. Students need to place into ENG 1510 to be eligible for placement into the program. Applicants do not need to take the Aleks Math Placement
