Build a Pathway for Success!
Our English Language Institute (ELI) offers FREE Beginner, Intermediate, and Contextualized English classes in Health and Business. These classes are open to the community, and you do not need to be an OCC student to participate. They help create a pathway to credit‑bearing coursework and provide drop‑in support for current OCC English Language Learners.
To help you start at the level that’s right for you, take a free ELI English Language Assessment in our OCC’s Testing Services office. The exam is proctored in person and offered on a rolling basis throughout the year and will take approximately 1 hour to complete.
