Step-by-Step Instructions for Adult Students

Ready to apply to Oakton Community College? Here’s what to do. 

1. Submit the Oakton Community College Application for Admission. You may complete the application online or download it and mail it to us. 
2. Submit the non-refundable application fee of $25. 
3. Submit official college transcripts from all colleges at which college-level credit was awarded (if you intend to earn a degree at Oakton or transfer college credit to Oakton). The Request for Evaluation of Credits form must be completed to receive transfer credit at Oakton. 
4. Submit proof of District 535 residency to be eligible for in-district tuition. If you live out of the district but work full-time for an in-district company, you also may be eligible for the in-district tuition rate. For more information about residency, see Costs & Financial Aid. 
5. Plan a visit to campus. It’s optional, but visiting Oakton is a great way to see why Oakton is right for you. 
6. Prepare to register for class!
