Oakton Spring Registration begins Nov. 13

Spring semester registration for credit classes opens Wednesday Nov. 13, at Oakton Community College, 1600 E. Golf Road, Des Plaines, and 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. Classes begin the week of January 21, 2020.

Registration for spring classes can be completed online at http://www.oakton.edu/admission. Registration in person can be done at either of Oakton's campuses from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. Students with a current application on file can register online at my.oakton.edu.

"Tuition is much lower at Oakton than at four-year universities and colleges, allowing students to achieve their academic and career goals at a fraction of the cost," Director of Student Recruitment and Outreach Michele Brown says.

Students who attend Oakton spend about a third as much to earn the same credits as those who attend traditional colleges or universities. According to a recent report prepared for the Illinois Community College Board, a 25-year-old Oakton graduate can expect an increase in lifetime earnings of approximately $724,000 more than someone with only a high school diploma. That's a 56 percent increase over the total lifetime earnings of someone not completing a community college program.
