representatives from the admissions offices of UC Irvine and California

State University Fullerton three times in September.

According to school officials, OCC is one of the nation’s leaders in

transferring students to four-year colleges and universities.

In 1998-1999, OCC ranked first in Southern California and third in the

state in the number of students it transferred to the University of

California and California State University systems, school officials

said.

OCC is the No. 1 transfer institution to UC Irvine and Cal State Long

Beach; No. 2 to Cal State Fullerton; and No. 3 to UCLA.

The Transfer Center is designed to assist students in transferring to

and from OCC. It is in the college’s Counseling and Admissions Annex.
