Yes, if you still have aid eligibility you can submit a FAFSA/TAP application. If you still have financial aid eligibility but lost it due to academic performance you can earn it back by completing 2 classes with a C or better.
Yes, unfortunately you will need to re-take those classes again for them to count towards your degree if you stay in that program. If you did not meet the GPA requirements and were academically dismissed or were on academic probation you can come back but depending on your situation there will be some requirements for this. Your advisor will be able to review all of this with you and go over your specific requirements.
Yes, but If you have a current balance over $200 you will not be able to register for classes until you take some steps to address it. If you create a payment plan for your balance owed you can get your registration hold lifted. If you owe money and it has gone to collections you will have to work with the collections agency to get this debt resolved. After you do you will be able to have your registration hold lifted.
Yes, you can come back to OCC and enroll in a different degree program. Your school advisor will be able to help you out with this change and what’s needed.
