Earn College Credit at Oakton in 11 Days

Students can earn college credit in just 11 days during Winterim at Oakton Community College, Dec. 17, 2007 - Jan. 4, 2008. All courses meet at Oakton's campus in Skokie, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave. General education and career courses covering computer information systems, computer appl

ications for business, mathematics, political science, geography, speech, poetry, psychology, sociology, and anthropology are available. Three online history courses also are offered.

Classes meet for 11 sessions, 9 a.m. - 12:15 p.m., Dec. 17 - Dec. 21, Dec. 26 - 28, and Jan. 2 - Jan. 4. Oakton's campus will be open 8:45 a.m. - 2:45 p.m. on those days, with staff providing student services such as library and computer labs and tutoring support.

"In addition to providing convenience for Oakton students, Winterim allows students home on break to fulfill a general education requirement at a fraction of what it might cost at their own school," said Thomas Hamel, vice president of academic affairs. "We expect many students will value this unique opportunity to receive college credit in only 11 sessions."

Registration begins Nov. 13 and ends on the first day of Winterim, Dec. 17. In-person registration at either campus is Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. - 7 p.m.; Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.; and Saturday, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Apply and register online at www.oakton.edu. Students with a current application on file may register online at my.oakton.edu.
