Philosophy and mission Kankakee Community College is committed to one mission: Enhancing quality of life through learning. KCC is dedicated to providing quality, comprehensive educational programs and services in a fiscally responsible manner. KCC offers a supportive environment for lifelong learning for the development of the individual and the community. KCC provides leadership in identifying the future educational needs of our district as related to the seven general educational and community service goals prescribed by the Illinois Community College Board and listed below: To provide pre-baccalaureate education consisting of liberal arts, sciences, and pre-professional courses designed to prepare students to transfer to four-year colleges and universities and/or designed to meet individual educational goals. To provide career education including occupational, vocational, technical and semi-technical training for employment, advancement, or career change, and in so doing meet individual, local and state workforce needs. To provide general studies including preparatory or developmental instruction, adult basic education, and general education designed to meet individual educational goals. To provide community education including non-credit, continuing education classes designed to meet individual educational goals. To provide public service activities of an educational nature, which may include workshops, seminars, forums, studies for cultural enrichment, community needs assessments and use of classroom space for seminars, meetings, etc. To provide student services which reflect the programmatic development of the institution including, but not limited to, admissions, counseling, testing, tutoring, placement and special assistance for educationally and economically disadvantaged students. To provide leadership for workforce training and work cooperatively with economic development agencies in the college district. The college is dedicated to providing learning experiences for living as well as for earning, resulting in a comprehensive academic program designed to give students the personalized attention they need to lead fulfilling lives and have successful careers. Kankakee Community College continuously seeks, collects, and assembles information to aid in identifying District 520 educational needs and searches for ways and means to physically and financially provide programs which will address identified needs. The college believes in general education as well as specialized studies. The purposes of general education courses in degree curricula are to assist students in becoming contributing members of society, to enhance career goals, and to provide appropriate backgrounds to baccalaureate-oriented students. Through completion of general education requirements, students are expected to synthesize, develop, and internalize personal values; increase awareness and develop a more global perspective of the human condition and one’s adaptation to the total human environment; strengthen basic skills in communications and computation; and integrate general and career-specific learning. Accreditation Kankakee Community College is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association. KCC is officially recognized by the Illinois Community College Board. Documents supporting the college’s accreditation and licensing are maintained by the vice president for Instruction and Student Services at the college. These materials include self-study reports, compliance reports, letters of acknowledgment and authorization. Interested parties may contact the vice president to review or obtain copies of any information relative to accreditation and licensing. Educational guarantees KCC guarantees the transferability of credits in transfer programs and that graduates of career programs are prepared for entry-level positions in fields related to their training. Complete terms and conditions for the guarantees are available in Student Services or by phoning 802-8500. To qualify for either guarantee, students must meet with an adviser and complete a contract before taking classes. Transfer program guarantee. Students completing the associate in arts, associate in science, associate in fine arts, or associate in engineering science degree are assured that transfer courses, selected with the assistance of a KCC adviser or adviser, will transfer to Illinois colleges and universities. If the receiving institution declines to transfer or accept the credit for a guaranteed course, KCC will reimburse tuition and fees for that course. Occupational program guarantee. This guarantee ensures that graduates of associate in applied science degree or occupational advanced certificate programs have the necessary skills to compete in today’s labor market. If a graduate does not have the necessary skills, as defined by the curriculum and determined by his or her employer, the graduate may re-enroll in appropriate courses at no charge. KCC guarantees graduates will pass any licensing or certifying examination for their particular careers as long as the first attempt is taken within three months of graduation and the second attempt is taken at the next available testing. Graduates who do not pass on the second attempt will be allowed to participate tuition-free in a review opportunity offered by KCC.
