From Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia

The Oklahoma City Community College, also referred to as OCCC or O-Triple-C, is a coeducational community college located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The community college was founded in 1972. It currently enrolls 19,700 students. The faculty consists of 134 full-time professors, and 400 adjunct professors. The Oklahoma City Community College is a post-secondary school. Here students take classes for a variety of reasons: working towards an associate degree, certificate, transfer course work to a university, or to obtain technical skills.

It offers 36 Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs, 24 Associate in Applied Science degree programs, and 18 Certificate of Mastery programs. Most courses are structured in a semester or 16-weeks. Some courses can be completed in little as 8,5, or 4 weeks. Courses are mostly taken at the campus itself, with average of 21:1 student to teacher ratio. Courses are also being offered online. The President of the Oklahoma City Community College is Paul Sechrist. Sechrist became the appointed President after the retirement of Robert Todd in 2005.

History

The Oklahoma City Community College was initiated by the South Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce in March 1969. The Chamber petitioned the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education to start up a local junior college. From there building began in 1972. September 25, 1972 marked the first day of the South Oklahoma City Junior College with an enrollment of 1,049. The Board of Regents voted in 1974 to change the name to the now Oklahoma City Community College.

The faces have changed and the enrollment has risen, but the Oklahoma City Community College is still an important part of the local community of Oklahoma City. Within recent years the community college has added on a new library, the Keith Leftwich Memorial Library, and the Robert P. Todd SEM (Science, Engineering, and Mathematics) center. The college also has an olympic-sized pool that was paid for with donations by local Oklahomans and is used for swim meets, children's swimming lessons and recreation amongst the community. The college is also host to an annual Fall Arts Festival.

Question: How many credit hours constitute half time enrollment at Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC)?

I know different schools have different ways of figuring it but I was hoping someone that attended the college would be able to help me answer this question. Thanks
30 months ago

Best Answer

Actually they go off student aid. Because thats who pays them generally.. so anything under 12 credit hours is considered half or part time. With federal student aid, you are required to complete 75% of the credit hours. With love through Christ Jesus, Dusty
