Oakton College student account questions
How do I set up a payment plan at Oakton?
Oakton offers EZ Pay, an interest-free installment payment plan with a $25 per semester nonrefundable enrollment fee. Your tuition is split into payments due over the term. All students receiving financial aid are also required to enroll in EZ Pay. Contact the Cashier's Office at cashier@oakton.edu or 847.635.1639 to get started.
What happens if I don't pay my tuition on time at Oakton?
If you do not pay your tuition and fees by the due date, Oakton may drop you from your classes. A $25 returned payment fee applies if any payment is returned. Not attending class does not constitute withdrawal—you must officially withdraw if you decide not to continue.
What holds can prevent me from registering for classes at Oakton?
An outstanding account balance for unpaid tuition or fees, parking fines, loans, or failure to return college property can result in a hold that blocks registration. Contact the office that issued the hold or the Enrollment Center at enrollmentcenter@oakton.edu or 847.635.1700 for help resolving it.
Who do I contact for financial aid, registration, or advising questions at Oakton?
