October 21: Winter Registration Forms due

Oakland ACE students who have completed registration forms turned in by October 21st can take advantage of priority registration. Priority registration begins October 24th. Mrs. DeYoung is working with OCC counseling staff in order to determine the scheduling process for Winter. Attendance during Seminar during the month of October is critical in order to not miss important scheduling presentations.

Recommended OCC Counselors who know a lot about Oakland ACE:

Scott Kokotovich

Penny McKenzie

Edward Stotts

Mary Thomas

Rasheedah Wright

Michael Zelinski

You are of course welcome to see any counselor, however we find those listed above know the most about our program requirements.

Students who have in-depth counseling needs are encouraged to either schedule an appointment with an OCC Counselor in the next two weeks and/or attend Mrs. DeYoung's office hours.

Oakland ACE is proud to once again offer our annual Financial Aid Presentation and FAFSA Workshop event on October 3, 2022. The event will feature a presentation about financial aid components, the application process, the financial aid awarding process, sources of financial aid and much more. This event is for 13th/Final Year Students and their families.

Immediately following the presentation, we will also offer an in-person FAFSA Workshop, where you will receive professional assistance from our speaker, Dr. Carrie Gilchrist, from Oakland University. You can expect to complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) that evening, ensuring you're maximizing your eligibility for financial aid and making sure you're considered for first come, first served funds at the school you plan to attend.

Attending in person a great option for Oakland ACE students, especially if you experience unique circumstances that might impact how you pay for college. If you are unable to attend, there are some virtual options available to you.

The meeting will be held at Oakland Schools Main Campus: 2111 Pontiac Lake Road, Waterford MI in Conference Rooms B, C, D.
