Register for Class

Before registering for classes as a new student at Oakton Community College, you’ll want to browse our class schedule and choose courses that interest you. 

You’ll also want to meet with an advisor. If you’re a traditional-age student, you should attend an Orientation and Registration event; watch your mail for details. If you’re an adult student, we encourage you to contact the Advising & Counseling Center to schedule an advising appointment and to attend our Adult Student Welcome. 

Once you’re ready to register, you’ll find that the process is simple and straightforward. You may register online after we process your application, or in person at either campus during the following hours: 

Monday – Thursday, 8:30 a.m. – 7 p.m.
Friday, 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Saturday, 9 a.m. – noon

Des Plaines: Room 1260

Skokie: Room A100

Registration typically begins several months before the start of a semester and ends on the first day of classes.
