Admission to the college will be consistent with Section 103-17 of the Illinois Public Community College Act. 2.2* Admission to KCC does not guarantee enrollment in specific courses or programs.

Students accepted on a provisional basis with deficiencies as defined by Public Act 86-0954 may be admitted to transfer programs by completing the number of transfer-level semester hours specified in the admission requirements for baccalaureate-transfer programs with a grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 or better.

Transfer students exempted from assessment requirements will meet the admissions records obligation.

Students also may submit an earned GED* in place of their high school transcript, but they must complete college administered testing for placement purposes. *GED may not meet specific program requirements where a high school prerequisite course and transcript verification is required. (b) Official transcripts of previously attended colleges or universities must be on file for financial aid and/ or for coursework evaluations needed for graduations. (c) Students applying to health career programs are responsible to meet timelines and eligibility requirements. Information concerning health career requirements is available at www.kcc.edu/health programs/.

scripts are required to verify the degree before the high school transcript requirement will be waived. 2.6* Student admission and registration data are the property of the college. Information recorded on the official transcript is transferable to a third party only upon written consent of the student. 2.7 A student’s semester hour load may be limited by an advisor upon review of assessment scores, GED scores, academic records, or the lack of academic records. 2.8 Students will be initially classified in a curriculum based on their Admissions Form and the criteria for the requested program. 2.9 High school students enrolling in general courses: (a) High school students 16 and older must provide a letter of recommendation from their high school advisors or principals and request that their high school transcripts be sent directly to the KCC Office of Admissions and Registration. College and Career Readiness tuition waivers satisfy these requirements. (b) Students under 16 years of age are required to meet with the dean of student development to review their appropriate enrollment in classes. Students must be eligible for high school before they are considered for admissions. (c) *Students wishing to enroll in continuing education classes may enroll in courses or programs specifically designed for this age group. 2.10 Non-high school students less than 18 years of age may enroll at KCC only after submitting written verification of their severance from the high school of their legal residence. 3.0* Attendance and Campus Behavior 3.1* Regular attendance at scheduled class sessions is expected. Refer to your course syllabus for classroom policies. 3.2* Administrative Withdrawal Students who are reported at mid-term by their instructors on the mid-term grade lists as non-attending/ failing “F” (not actively pursuing completion of the course) will be institutionally withdrawn from those courses and will have final grades of WX recorded on their transcripts. The WX grade is treated the same as a withdrawal (W) grade. When the semester or term ends, “WX” will be officially recorded as the final grade. An instructor may ask a student whose behavior is disruptive to leave the classroom. If an instructor feels a student’s behavior justifies dismissal from a course, program or the college, a recommendation shall be submitted to the dean of student development for consideration, recommendation, and action. The dean of student development will initiate an investigation of reported violations in accordance with college policy for student due process (see section 18.3). 3.3* The instructor has the right to record the grade of F for the course or reduce a student’s grade if a student has excessive absences as defined in the course syllabus. 3.4* If an instructor is more than 15 minutes late in arriving at a class session, the students may be excused. 3.5* Classroom visitors are prohibited without prior permission from the instructor. Approved visitors to laboratory classes are required to have approved safety equipment. 3.6 For their safety and well-being, children are not permitted in classes, in the testing center, in computer, or tutoring labs, or in employee work areas. Also, for safety reasons, children under age 14 cannot be left unattended. This includes KCC campus property and vehicles, satellite centers, employee work areas, and college events. In the event a child under the age of 14 years is left unattended, KCC employees will notify campus security and the dean of student development to locate the parent/guardian and document the incident. Every effort will be made to locate the child’s parents/guardians before contacting the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS). 4.0* Credit, Grades and Grade Points 4.1* KCC uses the semester hour system. The academic year consists of two semesters (fall and spring) and a summer term. 4.2* Class standing is determined by the total number of hours earned by a student. The classification follows: (a) 0-29 hours earned = Freshman (b) 30-64 hours earned = Sophomore (c) 65 or more hours earned = Advanced (d) Degree or advanced certificate earned = Graduate (e) Concurrent enrollment in high school = Dual enrolled 4.3 Academic load and status for a semester: 12 semester hours or more = full-time 9-11 semester hours = 3/4 time (part-time) 6-8 semester hours = 1/2 time (part-time) below 6 semester hours = less than 1/2 time (part-time) Summer terms are prorated. 4.4* A four-digit course number is assigned to each college course. The first digit (extreme left) identifies the course as a remedial (0), first-year (1), or second-year (2) course. Remedial, continuing education, and other courses with first digits of 0, 3, 4, or 5 are not applicable to college degree programs. Second digits of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 generally indicate courses within occupational curricula. Second digits of 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9 generally indicate courses within transfer curricula. Third digits of 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, or 7 may indicate that the course is one of a sequence and where that particular course falls within the sequence. The fourth digit (extreme right) generally indicates the number of credit hours awarded for the course. 4.5 Final course grades are used to compute grade point averages (GPA). Only KCC courses for which the first digit in the course number is either a “1” or “2” will be used to calculate GPA. 4.6 A semester/term GPA is computed as follows: (a) Multiply the hours of credit in each course by the grade point value of the grade earned. (b) Add the grade points earned for all courses attempted during the term. (“Courses attempted” are courses for which grades other than those specified in Section 4.9 are received.) (c) Divide the total grade points earned by the credit hours attempted. 4.7* A cumulative GPA is the total number of grade points earned in all semesters/terms divided by the total number of semester hours attempted in all semesters/terms. 2012-13 catalog • www.kcc.edu 169
