Oakton Community College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and the North Central Association.Oakton Community College opened in 1969 in former industrial buildings at Oakton and Nagle in Morton Grove. This original campus closed when the Des Plaines and Skokie campuses opened. The Skokie campus opened in 1980 at the site of the former Niles East High School, an example of art deco architecture that was used in the films Sixteen Candles and Risky Business. The Des Plaines campus also opened in 1980. Classes are held at both campuses. Oakton's main campus in Des Plaines is located on 147 acres (59.5 ha) of woodlands and prairie, bordered on the west by the Des Plaines River. The College, a modern, red-brick building with 435,000 square feet (40,400 m2), houses 65 classrooms and 46 educational laboratories, as well as student services, administrative and faculty offices. Special facilities include 19 computer classrooms; a Performing Arts Center; the Business Institute; the Koehnline Visual Arts Center; a Child Care Center; and a teleconferencing center, gym, fitness center, library and bookstore.The Ray Hartstein Campus adjoins a residential area in Skokie.

Lee is the President of Oakton Community College. Dr. Lee stated in the April 22, 2007, New York Times article "For Achievers, a New Destination," "You don't prepare someone in this time of rapid change for a single job. You prepare them for a working life. The old academic skills are the new vocational skills."In 2014, Oakton entered into a dual enrollment agreement with Shimer College, a Great Books college in Chicago, under which Oakton students could attend Shimer classes for credit at Oakton. It was the first extension of Shimer's dual enrollment system beyond the City Colleges of Chicago.".
