However, the total enrollment for the Spring 2022 semester was 14,511 students across all campuses. For a more precise figure, you would need to refer to the headcount enrollment by campus data, which is available through Oakland Community College's data dashboard. Therefore, I can only provide an approximate range based on the total enrollment: **0 - 14,511**. For an exact number, you would need to access the detailed headcount data for the Auburn Hills campus specifically

However, it is mentioned that 93% of OCC's faculty hold advanced degrees, and 20% of the faculty have the highest degree in their field. Without specific numbers for the Auburn Hills campus, it is difficult to provide an exact count. Therefore, I can only give an approximate range based on the overall faculty statistics for OCC, which would be around 200-300 faculty members, but this is highly speculative and not directly supported by the given information. For a precise number, additional specific data or a detailed breakdown by campus would be necessary

However, it can be inferred that there are several administrative positions listed, including those mentioned in the non-union administrative/management staff group and specific roles such as Admissions Coordinators and Deans. Without a comprehensive list, it is difficult to provide an exact number. Given the information, a rough estimate could be in the range of 10 to 20 administrative staff members, but this is highly speculative and not definitive. For an exact number, more detailed information would be required

I have gone to two other schools. One was a university, the other a community college. I love OCC more than any other school that I have been to. Its a great quality education, a positive atmosphere, and it is easy to get help in any area you need!

The location is far away from Novi, however everything you could want was available there. Compared to all the OCC campuses, this one had the best food. The internet was perfect and the location was always savory.

As a military wife, I have attended more than one college/university in my travels and I appreciate the extra mile the staff goes to support each person's education. The professors and advisors have the student's success in mind with everything they do. If you are hesitant to go back to school, have no fear at Oakland Community College.

I did not enjoy my experience, there were little to no options for clubs and no variety. It made me sad because I couldn’t afford university and this experience made me feel worse

For a community college, it's okay, but extremely run-down & confusing. The layout of the school is entirely confusing, so be sure to hang on to a map. No one here seems to care about anyone else or their business. The clubs take your money & run. Be sure you know what it is you are signing up for before you commit to anything.

After their handling of the suspension due to corona virus, Im withdrawing from all my classes and will never, never attend ever again. They should have canceled classes and rescheduled them

i hate this school. its a community college, come on people. i'm dual enrolled so at least i get to take online classes at my university. this school is only good for taking credits to transfer to an out of state school so it's cheaper. thats what i'm doing. HATE OCC.

The school is not fit for older student because the teacher can not relate to the experience of the class that an older student will have in that course.

If you stand inside the building, you are subject to anime and call of duty playing out of laptops at full volume. If you stand outside the building, almost every person who walks by will either ask you for a cigarette or ask you if you want to buy a cigarette.

They do not help they watch you drown and tell you it fine

Id suggest avoiding OCC if your an older learner. Its been made obvious that most of the professors here care more about a paycheck than actually teaching, Ill be transfering out at my first opportunity.

The Financial Aid office is the worst experience you can imagine. They do not seem to be able to manage the simplest tasks without causing significant chaos. Avoid
