I've been thinking about applying to Kellogg Community College, but I'm not clear on where to start with the application process. Can anyone tell me what the steps are?
Sure, I'd be happy to help you. Applying to Kellogg Community College involves several steps:
1. Admissions Application: First, you have to fill out the online admission application form which you can find on the college's official website under 'Apply Now'. There, you will need to submit some personal information like your name, address, and previous educational history.
2. FSA ID and FAFSA: If you want to apply for financial aid, you need to create a FSA ID online and use it to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Make sure to list Kellogg Community College on your FAFSA using the school code: 002276.
3. Placement Assessment: Usually community colleges, including Kellogg, require placement tests to help them place students in courses appropriate for their skill levels in subjects like English and Mathematics. However, you may be able to waive the placement test if you have relevant ACT or SAT scores, prior college credit, or if you are a guest or dual-enrolled student.
4. Transcripts: You need to submit your official high school transcript or GED scores and any college transcripts if you have already attended a college.
5. Orientation: Once you've been admitted, you have to complete a Student Orientation, Advising, and Registration (SOAR) session before you register for courses. The SOAR session goes over the college's policies, student resources and services, and registration processes.
6. Course Registration: After all the above steps, you can register for classes, typically through the online student portal.
Please be sure to check the college's 'Admissions' page for any specific application deadlines or other details.
