IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT PAYMENT
Oakton requires payment in full or enrollment in the EZ Pay Tuition Payment Plan before your payment due date. You may be dropped from your classes at the discretion of the College if you do not pay by your payment due date. However, you will be charged and be responsible for tuition and fees unless you officially withdraw online (at myOakton.edu), in writing or in person at the Enrollment Center by the dates listed on the refund schedule.

PAYMENT METHOD
You may pay by cash, check or credit card.

Check
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 payment.)

Credit Card Payment
Visa, MasterCard and Discover cards are accepted in person or online at my.oakton.edu.
