We are Different. Together.
SOCIAL MEDIA
STUDENT GROUPS
Run by students, for students.
There are many existing social groups set up by OCA Students outside of this website. This page will point you to the groups you can join for peer support and interaction.
Some sites have more reliable information than others, so we also show you how confident you can trust information in these groups when it comes to OCA information, updates, policies and regulations.
DISCORD:
OCA VIS COMMS
Discord is a chat-based platform for communities. The OCA VisComms server welcomes all OCA students, particularly those from Visual Communications, Illustration and Graphic Design. We also have a good number of Fine Arts, Creative Arts, Drawing and Painting students - particularly in level one where the modules overlap.
