Enrollment Verifications
Provided as a service of the Wrangler Express Center, enrollment verification is a statement that a person is enrolled as a full- or part-time student at Odessa College for a stated semester. This verification may be required by insurance companies, loan granters, prospective employers or other entities. Since information included in enrollment verification is classified as directory information, it is released to third parties unless the student has issued direction in writing that such information not be released.
Enrollment verifications maybe requested only after the semester has officially begun.

To meet the needs of students, the LRC provides print books, DVD’s, resources for English Language Learners, and electronic resources (eBooks, digital magazines and newspapers, scholarly journals, and streaming videos.)

Parking
Motor vehicles parked on the OC campus must be registered and display a valid parking
permit. Permits are issued at registration and must be renewed each academic year.
Annual parking permits are good from September 1 to August 31.
Campus driving and parking regulations are printed and distributed to students when
vehicles are registered. Students are reminded to park only in areas designated for student
parking (yellow spaces). Tickets are issued for vehicles that are parked out of the
appropriate zone. Outstanding tickets can cause a hold to be placed on student accounts,
which will both prevent students from registering for subsequent semesters and block
students’ access to official transcripts.
Posting Policy
In displaying announcements of interest, students may use designated spaces, bulletin
boards or approved surfaces located in the Saulsbury Campus Center and in other campus
locations. Those bulletin boards with specific headings or glass-enclosed boards are for
official use and may not be used for posting student announcements unless prior approval
has been secured from the Student Life Office. Posters may be displayed for a period not
to exceed two weeks before a scheduled event and should be removed on the next class
day following the advertised event. Posters requiring a lengthier posting period will be
considered on a case by case basis and require approval from the Student Activities
Director. Prior approval of all postings should be secured from the Student Life Office or
Student Activities Director and all flyers must display the appropriate stamp of approval.
The College reserves the right to remove any unauthorized poster or sign. Students are
requested to use masking tape when displaying posters. The full posting policy is
available in the Student Life Office located on the 2nd floor of the Saulsbury Campus
Center. For non-campus related postings, please see Odessa College Human Resources.
