2025 Application Process

Click on the TASK 1 link below to complete the Oakland Technical Early College General Application. Remember to go back to the steps after and complete Tasks 2-4. 

TASK 1 - Oakland Technical Early College General Application

Both parts in this section require your school counselor or another school official.

• TASK 2, Part 1 - Oakland Technical Early College Counselor Information Form 
  • Open using DocHub.com or Adobe Reader to fill in the areas marked for the student. Send/bring this form to your high school counselor and have your counselor complete their portion. 
  • This form will go directly from the counselor to Ben Morin at Oakland Schools 

• TASK 2, Part 2 – OCC Dual Enrollment School Payment & FERPA Authorization Form 
  • Open using Dochub.com or Adobe Reader to fill out and complete Part I and II with a parent guardian
  • Print out the form and take it to your high school counselor to sign, or save it as a PDF to have them electronically sign.
  • This form will go from the counselor back to you. Once the form is signed by a school official you need to get this form back from your counselor to use in TASK 3 

• TASK 3, Part 1: Create a Profile and Start the OCC Application 
  1. Create an OCC Admissions Profile and submit your dual enrollment Online Application. When entering contact information, be sure to enter an email address that is accessible and frequently checked. Email is the primary method of communication by both OTEC and OCC.
  2. Select the following choices related to the first Enrollment Information question
     • What student type best describes you: DUAL Enrollment/Early College: I plan to attend OCC while still in high school. That will force Dual Enrollment as the choice for the next 2 questions
     • What semester do you plan to start OCC: Fall 2025
  3. Continue to fill out all remaining questions/parts of the OCC application and submit

• TASK 3, Part 2: Send or Upload Dual Enrollment Payment & FERPA Authorization Form you received in TASK 2, Part 2 from your high school.  After you submit application either 1) refresh page and click on Supplemental Items to see a spot to upload a PDF Scan/Photo of form or 2) send the form to the OCC Admissions email listed on the top of that form.

NOTE: Within a few days after completing this step, when your application is processed, you will receive two separate emails - One with your OCC Student ID number along with a link to retrieve your username from Admissions and a second email from Online Services with your Temporary Password. 

This does NOT mean that your enrollment in the Oakland Technical Early College program is complete. You must complete the following steps as well. Do NOT make a counseling appointment at this time. OTEC students will receive separate instruction when it is time to make counseling appointments.

AFTER YOU RECEIVE YOUR OCC WELCOME EMAIL:

• TASK 3, Part 3: Set Up a MyOCC Account & OCC Email. Once the applicant receives an email message from OCC containing their OCC student number, they can proceed to this step. Applicants set up an Admissions Profile in an earlier step using a personal email account. From this step forward, OCC will only communicate with students through an assigned OCC email account. Follow OCC Step 4 instructions for setting up the account. Be sure to make a note of the password that you choose.

• TASK 3, Part 4: Complete New Student Orientation – Online. Log into your MyOCC account and select Pre-Registration Steps, then New Student Orientation. Sign in using your MyOCC username and password and click on New Student Orientation/Title IX. Work your way through all the lessons. When finished, including the brief Student Survey, be sure to click “Mark Course Completed.” Failure to do so will prevent you from moving on to the next TASK.

Mandatory English Placement and Sending Screenshot (

One of the final requirements to determine eligibility for enrollment into the OTEC program is a demonstration of readiness for college-level reading and writing (Students do NOT need to take the Aleks Math Placement). The only English course selection that will qualify a student for enrollment in the OTEC program is English 1510, Composition I. This is a college level english course and the decision made to select this required option should not be taken lightly. If a student does not think they are ready for ENG 1510, then a student may not be ready to start college courses early.  That is okay.  

Mandatory English Placement and Sending Screenshot Steps:

1. Log into MyOCC, select Pre-Registration Steps, select English Placement“
2. Sign in using your MyOCC username and password.
3. Click on the English Placement Module

Assessment Screenshot and OCC ID needed to be emailed:

1. After selecting an English course and that English course is ENG 1510 Composition I, take a screenshot
2. Be sure to complete the placement module and “Mark Course Completed” at the end.
3. Send the screenshots of English Course selected and Your OCC Student ID Number to:ben.morin@oakland.k12.mi.us
