New special tuition lowers cost for Orange Coast College students to complete their degrees online


Orange Coast College students now have a new, more affordable path to earning bachelor’s degrees online, supported by a new partnership with Arizona State University.

Beginning this fall, eligible students and alumni from OCC can save 22% on tuition when they transfer to ASU Online through the California Community College Achievement Plan.

This opportunity is part of the ASU's broader effort to increase access to higher education for students, including OCC. This seamless and affordable transfer pathway for California residents reduces financial barriers and supports students who need flexibility and options for an education that prepares them for the future. There are no income requirements to receive the special tuition.

“Through our partnership with ASU Online, we are expanding access to transfer opportunities for our students,” says OCC President Angelica Suarez. “This special tuition lowers financial barriers and creates a pathway from community college to university degree.”

ASU Online reimagines learning by providing students university resources and support from enrollment to graduation and beyond. Students can choose from 180+ undergraduate degrees — all taught by the same faculty using the same curriculum available on campuses.

ASU Online and OCC serve thousands of California students and alumni, empowering them to succeed by preparing them to contribute to their local communities and the state’s workforce and economy in fields such as business, psychology, communication, fashion, biological sciences, and computer science.
