Graduation rate is the percentage of institution’s new-entering, first-time, first-year undergraduate students who complete their program within 150% of the published time for the program. Graduation rate excludes a huge number of students. This index doesn’t take into account students of nontraditional enrollments - part-time students, students who enroll mid-year, and who transfer from one institution to another. So graduation rate alone can create a misleading picture. Completion rate in the form of total number of students receiving any types of awards/degrees creates a complete picture. Combining this data with graduation rate is a better way to compare institutions.

Student Reviews and Ratings for Oakton Community College
Overall Rating:
Really great community college actually. Good fallback school.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I don’t quite understand how ? HOW CAN COLLEGE AT THIS LEVEL HAVE POOR WIFI CONNECTION? I was born in Ukraine, and even though we had 1G internet in 2006, it worked better than Oakton”s internet in 2018!!
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™I graduated here in May 2017 with a degree in Law Enforcement. I must say I preferred the Des Plaines campus a bit more. Overall I enjoyed all the class experiences from early morning classes to evening classes. I love Oakton and miss everyday of it. Met some cool people and teachers. I'm grateful to finally have a college education.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™This school is very nice. Plenty of computer labs and tables to study. It can be a bit loud. The tuition is very high for a community college even if you are in district. Most teachers are great. The financial aid office is frustrating though I can't even count the amount of times i have had to go in and tell them I am in-district student then show id and proof of residence.
Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™The worst college that I have ever seen. Waste of time and money. The people are rude and mean, and complicate everything ten times more. Take classes anywhere else and you'll be good. The enrollment center is not at all helpful. They don't care about your struggles at all. The teachers are not good and most of them are racist.
