Q: Why do the Internet browsers open new windows instead of new tabs?

A: If you right click on a link and select ‘open as a new tab,’ it will open as a new tab…by default, if it doesn’t want to replace the webpage, the normal operation is to create a new window. At the time [Internet Explorer] was developed, none of the browsers had tabs.”

Q: Will OCCC ever have year round sports?

A: No university has year-round sports. They just offer different sports throughout the year. OCCC does offer intramurals to students. OCCC has not focused on sports because it’s not part of the academic vision.”

Q: Will OCCC ever become a full university, on the scale of OU, UCO, or OSU?

A: The short answer is the OCCC will remain a two-year, associate-degree granting college well into the future. OCCC is committed to its current mission as a community college — affordable, accessible, and high quality courses at the freshman and sophomore levels. The costs to the state to change OCCC into a university would be a significant hurdle and—with UCO and OU very close, both of which are state funded universities—some would argue that another state-funded university in central Oklahoma is not necessary.
