The Golan Heights have been annexed by Israel, so you might call them conquered but not occupied. The West Bank is occupied since Israel has never officially annexed it (with the exception of East Jerusalem and parts of the Jordan Valley), and Jordan who previously annexed it waved it's claim to that territory.



The official status of the Golan Heights is that of Syrian territory occupied by Israel.
