Oakton Community College and the Advising and Counseling Center offers many services to support student success.

Students who experience difficulty in a course are encouraged to talk to their instructor. They may also find it helpful to talk to a Student Development Counselor in the Advising and Counseling Center.

Students whose grade point average falls below 2.0 are placed on academic probation in accordance with Oakton's Standards of Academic Progress. Students on probation are required to see an advisor or counselor before registering for subsequent semesters.

Students may also want to contact the Learning Center (formerly ISS) for tutoring support or study skills and learning strategies.
