Admission

At Oakton, you’ll gain the knowledge and skills you need to thrive in a changing world. Whether your goal is to start or change careers, earn an associate degree, or simply enrich your experience, your Oakton education will open your mind and prepare you to succeed. 

It’s easy to apply for admission, whether you’re a traditional-age student applying for the first time, an adult student beginning or continuing your education, an international student, or a veteran of the Armed Forces.

If you’re planning to take non-credit courses, there’s no need to apply for admission—simply check our class schedule and register for class.  

As you consider your educational options, we invite you to visit one of our two campus locations. It’s a great way to find out why Oakton is the right place for you. You can also contact an admission counselor, submit your questions to our automated ASK US feature, or apply today!
