The National Junior College Athletic Conference has recognized three Oakton Community College students for academic achievement in 2007-08. Students earn the Distinguished Academic All-American honor by achieving a 3.80 grade point average or higher after completing 48 credit hours. Academic All-American honors were given to students with a GPA between 3.60 and 3.79 after completing 48 credit hours.
