Guidance and College Counselors

Relationships are the bedrock of a residential liberal arts college experience. Our admission staff extends that ethic to the college advisors and guidance staff we are fortunate to meet, either in person or virtually. Please feel free to contact us. Our intent is identical to yours - to empower your students to make good decisions, especially about their choice of college

What do a professional belly dancer, an Intel Talent Search Finalist, a member of an aerial circus company, and a participant on the NPR "I Believe" series have in common? They are members of the Oxy Class of 2015! Check out a profile of our newest students.

The college search proceeds at different paces. We added a second opportunity for students to apply to Oxy who determined we are their first-choice destination. Early Decision II has an application deadline of January 2.

Have a student particularly passionate about Theater? If so, please alert them to attend our optional Theater Visit Day for auditions/interviews/workshops on December 3, 2011.

We also accept Athletic and Arts Supplements via the Common Application, so be sure to encourage submissions for interested students.

An Occidental course catalog will no longer come to you in the mail as it may have in the past. For environmental and economic reasons, the College decided to abandon printing it. You and your students may find it online.
