In order to graduate from Oakton, you must meet the Constitution requirement. If you graduated from a high school in Illinois and have sent your transcripts to Oakton, you probably have already met this requirement. If not, then you must either take Political Science PSC 101 or pass the Constitution test administered in the Testing Centers. The test is free for Oakton students.

Students from other colleges or universities may take the test and have the results sent to their school for a fee of $15.
