Distance & Online Learning

Already registered for online? Five steps to get started!

Wondering if distance learning is right for you?  Take the OASIS survey to learn more. 

Oakton Community College offers the flexibility of distance learning for students who prefer to pursue their education independently and efficiently. This is an excellent option for students with family, job, or travel obligations, or with other scheduling conflicts.

The ideal candidate for a positive distance learning experience is self-motivated, organized, and disciplined. Distance learning courses are as rigorous and time-consuming as those taught in a conventional setting. However, students can enjoy the flexibility of accessing their courses each week and completing assignments at times and places of their choosing.

Students may currently complete their general education requirements and earn an Associate in Arts degree from Oakton with distance learning options, and new distance courses are being added each semester.
