Instructions for Returning Students

If you’ve taken classes at Oakton in the past three years, there’s no need to apply for admission—simply register for classes. On the other hand, if it’s been more than three years since your last class here, follow these steps to complete your application. 

  1. Submit the Oakton Application for Admission. You may apply online or download the application and mail it to us. As a returning student, you won’t have to pay the application fee. 
  2. Submit official college transcripts from all colleges you’ve attended since you left Oakton. This is especially important if you plan to count your non-Oakton coursework toward prerequisites or transfer credit at Oakton. The Request for Evaluation of Credits form must be completed to receive transfer credit at Oakton. 
  3. Submit proof of District 535 residency to be eligible for in-district tuition. If you live out of the district but work for an in-district company, you may also be eligible for the in-district tuition rate. For more information about residency, see Costs & Financial Aid
  4. Register for classes. 

We look forward to welcoming you back to campus. If you have any questions about the application process, contact an admission counselor at enrollmentcenter@oakton.edu, call 847.635.1700, or use our ASK US feature.
