I want to apply to Oakton Community College and I'm not sure where to start. Does anyone know if there's a specific timeline or any requirements I should be aware of for the application process?
The application process to Oakton Community College is fairly straightforward and can be done through their website. Here's a step by step guide to help you:
1. Complete Their Online Application. Visit the Oakton Community College website and find the admission section. You will be guided to an online application form. Fill in all the required information accurately.
2. Provide Your High School or Previous College Information. Oakton requires transcripts from your high school and any previous colleges you attended. Arrange to have these sent directly to Oakton Community College.
3. Placement Tests. Unless you've completed college-level English and math courses, you may need to take some placement tests. Oakton Community College's Testing Center will administer these.
4. Attend an Advising Session. After taking any required placement tests, you'll need to participate in either an in-person or online advising session. This is a session where you'll meet with an advisor to discuss your future academic plans and register for courses.
5. Registration. Register for classes online via myOakton, or in person at either the Des Plaines or Skokie campus.
6. Pay Tuition and Fees. After registering for courses, you'll need to pay your tuition and fees. Be sure to review the different payment options and deadlines to avoid late fees.
Remember to keep track of all upcoming deadlines related to the application, enrollment, and payment processes. Also, while Oakton Community College has rolling admissions, meaning you can apply at any time, it’s a good idea to apply as soon as you can to ensure that you have ample time to fulfill all their requirements and prepare for the semester.
I hope this is helpful, and best of luck with your application process! Please feel free to reach out if you have any more questions.
