Oregon Coast Community College offers a variety of options for High School students to participate in college courses and learn about the culture of college.
Navigate Program
The Oregon Coast Community College Navigate Program serves as an umbrella program designed to inspire, inform, guide, and support students finding their way to – and successfully through – higher education. The Navigate Program supports Lincoln County students and families beginning in the 8th grade and continuing through completion of community college and on to employment or transfer. The Navigate Program maintains two key strategic initiatives:
1. Connect and enhance existing outreach and support activities across partners to encourage more students to complete high school and enter higher education.
2. Provide direct support and increase retention and success of first-generation and low-income students who enroll at OCCC.
Contact Ben Kaufmann, Navigate Program Manager, at ben.kaufmann@oregoncoast.edu for more information.
Dual Credit Program
Through OCCC's dual credit agreement with the Lincoln County School District, students may earn OCCC credits while they currently are enrolled in high school. Students who take high school courses equivalent to OCCC courses may qualify for OCCC credits in college- approved professional/technical courses. High school students should consult their high school counselors for more information.
Expanded Options Program
The Expanded Options Program helps students get a head start on college, at considerable savings, while they are still in high school. Under an agreement between Lincoln County School District (LCSD) and Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC), eligible and admitted LCSD juniors and seniors may take OCCC college courses at the College or online through the College, and receive simultaneous college and high school credit. Interested persons should speak to their high school counselor for more information.
Early College Program
The faculty, staff, and administration at Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC) want to ensure that all Lincoln County High School juniors and seniors who are "College Ready" have the opportunity to begin their post-secondary education and become successful college students. OCCC's Early College Program is committed to serving students in the community, including students of color, first-generation and low-income individuals.
Benefits of Early College include:
