OCCF TIP: Connect With Your School's Staff & Faculty!

With classrooms going virtual, it is more important than ever to stay connected in these last couple of months. No matter if your students have already been admitted to their dream school or are still weighing their options - we strongly suggest that they reach out to their potential future campus staff and keep all parties informed of any changes in their circumstances.
