The mission of the Student Activities Office is to provide co-curricular programs and services to enhance the college experience for all students. Working with other campus offices, the Student Activities Office provides the opportunity for development of interpersonal and leadership skills and encourages students to become actively involved in the campus and community. It also enhances the educational opportunities offered by academic programs and provides social and cultural activities.

Besides meeting the educational needs of students, the College also provides a wide range of extracurricular activities open to all students. These include student clubs and organizations, the student newspaper, as well as cultural, social and entertainment events. These activities and programs are funded by student activities fees collected each semester from all registered students, distributed by the Board of Student Affairs (BSA), and implemented by the Student Activities Office.

A variety of programs are offered throughout the year, from movie showings to live entertainment. In addition, the Student Activities Office also works closely with other departments to coordinate combined College and community programming, such as, blood drives and Cultures Week. These events are open to the entire College and community and are generally provided for free.

The Student Activities Office at the Des Plaines campus also acts as the Ticket Box Office at Oakton, where students and the general public can buy tickets to a variety of events including Oakton's Performing Arts. Likewise, discounted tickets for popular summer programs, such as Six Flags Great America, are available through this office. Also available for purchase are discounted Pace bus passes. For more information about the Student Activities Office and what is offered, stop by Room 1430 in Des Plaines, 847-635-1699 or Room A160 in Skokie, 847-635-1443.
