Admissions

Registering to attend Kishwaukee College is an easy to figure out process since the school has an open door policy, meaning that anyone who meets their requirements is eligible to attend. First, students must either pick up on campus or download the Student Information Form, fill it out, and mail or return it to the Admissions Registration and Records Office. After that, students must provide their transcript from high school or their GED. For those students who have previously attended college, college transcripts are also required. After these two steps are complete, students can schedule meetings with counselors on campus to determine what course of study is best for them.

When applying to attend school, it is important to remember to fill out the FAFSA to make the process of getting financial aid quick and straightforward. After all of the paperwork is completed, students must take placement tests to determine what level of classes they should begin in. Placement tests are often not required in Math or English if students have a grade on their transcript in those classes that is higher than a C, or if they have taken the ACT and earned at least a 23 in English and at least a 25 in Math.
