Oakton
Community College is opening its doors to students who had planned
to attend Gulf Coast colleges and universities debilitated by Hurricane
Katrina.
Oakton
has implemented the following guidelines to support displaced students:
For the fall 2005, spring 2006 and summer 2006 terms, students
enrolled or admitted to any affected college will be allowed to register
at Oakton;
These students will be allowed to attend Oakton and pay tuition
at the in-district rate. (Applicants must provide proof of enrollment
at an affected institution.);
Oakton will waive the application fee for these displaced students,
as well as the late registration fees for students applying for the
fall 2005 semester.
Oakton
also offers a variety of late-start and distance learning courses
that may help students affected by Hurricane Katrina continue their
educations with little or no interruption.
For more information, please contact Oakton's office of registration
and records at 847-635-1700 or 847-635-1400.
