How do I sign up? 

It is very important to declare your major. After you enroll at OCC and meet with your counselor, ask them to put the Narrative Illustration certificate, Entertainment Art certificate or both in your Ed Plan. You can begin classes before declaring but everything works better when you declare ASAP.
