What Students, Parents and Instructors Are Saying about ACE Program?
Oakland Community College
Oakland ACE program partners with Oakland Community College (OCC) to bring Early College opportunities to our students.
Each OCC campus dedicates an OCC counselor who is available to work with our students. OCC's Academic Support Centers are important resources for our students. Students who participate in free tutoring at ASCs find the support highly useful.
