Oakton students must either pay their full tuition or enroll in an EZ Pay Payment Plan by the semester’s payment due date before attending classes. If you miss a payment due date, you may be dropped from classes at the discretion of Oakton. You are responsible for tuition and fees and will be charged accordingly unless you officially withdraw online at myOakton, in writing or in-person at the Enrollment Center.

To help students meet their academic goals, Oakton offers a deferred tuition plan that is term-based. EZ Pay is not a loan; there is no credit check, no interest or finance charges, and no debt. Payments can be made with automated bank payments via a checking or savings account or a credit or debit card.
Payments are processed on the fifth of the month and will continue until the balance is paid in full. A minimum tuition bill of $100 is required to enroll in the EZ Pay Tuition Payment Plan. $25 returned payment fee if a payment is returned.

Enrollment deadlines are for the EZ Pay Payment Plan only. Payment deadlines for tuition and fees are based on the registration date.
All scholarship, veteran and financial assistance recipients must enroll in the Financial Aid EZ Pay Payment Plan—even if tuition and fees are covered in full—because any change in enrollment status may decrease eligibility for financial aid. Students expecting financial assistance to pay their tuition and fees must also enroll in EZ Pay.
The Financial Aid EZ Pay Payment Plan is similar to a standard EZ Pay plan. Rather than your payments being debited to a checking account, if you have Financial Aid funds within your account, that balance will be auto-withdrawn for bill payments.

You may pay by cash, check or credit card.
Checks must show the student’s name, student I.D. number and the semester or session for which the payment is being made. College staff will write student I.D. numbers on checks where a student has not done so already. If you prefer not to have your I.D. number on your check, please submit your payment by cashier’s check, money order or cash. Do not submit cash for mail-in or drop-off payments.
Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards are accepted in-person or online at my.oakton.edu or EZ Pay (requires a login ID and password).
