Credit Card Payment: Oakton accepts bank credit cards (Mastercard, VISA, Discover) in person or through Web Registration payments.

Deferred Tuition Payment Plan: To help students meet their educational expenses, Oakton Community College offers a deferred tuition plan administered by FACTS Tuition Management. This is not a loan; there is no credit check, no interest or finance charges and no debt. The cost for this convenient budget plan is a nonrefundable fee of $25 per semester.

Tuition and fees will be budgeted in the following ways:

• Automated bank payment (ACH) Funds are automatically transferred from either your checking or savings account.
• Credit Card option: Payment is made by credit card

For more details or to enroll in our deferred payment plan, register online through e-cashier at www.oakton.edu./FACTS.

Non-Payment: Students who do not pay tuition and fees by the deadline may be dropped from all of their courses.

Personal checks submitted for any fees will have your student I.D. number written on them. If you prefer not to have your I.D. number on your check, please submit your payment by cashier’s check, money order or when appropriate (other than “mail-in” or “drop-off” registrations) cash. College staff will write student I.D. numbers on checks where a student has not done so already.

If you have questions about your bill, call the Cashier’s Office at 847-635-1639.

Students who withdraw from any or all of their classes may be eligible for a refund according to the Refund Schedule below.

Refunds for Administrative Withdrawal: If Oakton cancels a course, students enrolled in it at that time will receive a full refund for the class.

Refund Schedule
Refunds are given only when a student officially withdraws from a class by the refund date. Refund dates are based on the starting date of the semester. If the class begins later than the first week of the semester, refund dates are based on the starting date of the class. Refund checks are mailed after classes begin. If you paid by credit card, your credit card will be credited with your refund.
