Tuition & Fees

Tuition and fees are as low as operating costs and state law permits and are subject to change without notice. Tuition charges are the same for both in and out-of-district residents. Tuition does not include the cost of textbooks or materials. Personal checks are accepted. A $25 fee will be applied if your check is returned by the bank.

Processing Fee

Registrants will be charged an $8 non-refundable processing fee at the time of registration. However, students who register online at Oakton’s Web site will only be charged once per semester for an unlimited number of classes. Those registering in person, by mail, or fax, will be charged an $8 fee with each registration form.

Refunds and Cancellation Fee Policy

If the Alliance for Lifelong Learning withdraws a class, registered students will receive a 100 percent tuition refund. A 100 percent tuition refund minus a $10 cancellation fee will be issued if students notify the Alliance for Lifelong Learning office five business days prior to the first class session. No refunds will be issued for requests received less than five business days before the start of class unless authorized at the discretion of the ALL administrators.
