About Online Courses

Oakton Community College offers a variety of classes delivered through the internet. While the majority of class time is spent on the Web,  most will require additional materials such as textbooks and/or video media. These credit courses can usually be adapted to the student's schedule and availability.

Oakton uses multiple platforms to support online courses.  Your course may use WebCT, Desire2Learn, Pearson's MyLabPlus, or other course specific software.
