History Kilgore College is a publicly supported, two-year, comprehensive community college offering postsecondary educational opportunities. In 1935 Kilgore College was the idea of Mr. W. L. Dodson and the community of Kilgore, Texas. We have come a long way since the early part of the century and today we are recognized as one of the finest two-year institutions in the South. The main campus is located in Gregg County and continues to serve many students from surrounding counties. In the beginning, the curriculum was designed to serve university-bound students; but today, the college also offers education and training in wide variety of workforce programs. We are also the home of an excellent athletic program, the world famous Kilgore College Rangerettes, the National Championship Lady Rangers Basketball Team, and The East Texas Oil Museum.
Mission Statement Kilgore College provides a learner-centered environment that focuses on student access, success and completion via collaborative partnerships.
• Kilgore College promotes access through its open-door admission, distance learning opportunities, dual credit courses, developmental education, continuing education, and comprehensive financial aid programs. • Kilgore College promotes success through high quality innovative instruction and holistic student support services and activities. • Kilgore College promotes completion by providing a foundation for students to flourish either through university transfer or entry into the workforce as highly skilled and technologically advanced employees. • Kilgore College leads and promotes partnerships through outreach to area schools and universities, small business/entrepreneurial expansion, adult education and literacy, responsiveness to economic development needs, and promotion of social and cultural advancement.
The mission statement of Kilgore College is consistent with the Texas Education Code 130.0011, which states that the mission of public junior colleges shall be two-year institutions primarily serving their local taxing districts and service areas in Texas and offering vocational, technical, and academic courses for certification or associate degrees, as well as continuing education, remedial and compensatory education consistent with open-admissions policies
Approved by KC Board of Trustees: December 12, 2016 December 11, 2017 December 17, 2018
Vision Statement We commit to be the higher education institution of choice in Northeast Texas.
Civility Statement Students are expected to assist in maintaining an environment that is conducive to learning. Inappropriate or distractive behavior is prohibited in order to assure that everyone has an opportunity to gain from time spent in the course. Should a disruptive incident occur, the faculty member in charge may remove the student. Students have the right to appeal.
Nondiscrimination Statement Kilgore College seeks to provide equal educational and employment opportunities without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic information. Residence halls are specifically designated, however, for male or female occupancy. Kilgore College is striving to provide facilities that are barrier-free for students who have physical challenges.
Campus Locations Kilgore College's main campus is at 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX, in Gregg County. Kilgore, a city of more than 14,000, is in the northeast section of the state commonly referred to as the Piney Woods. This area is one of the most scenic in Texas with its pine and hardwood forests, lakes, rivers, streams, and hills. The area is also rich in natural resources. Kilgore lies in the middle of what was once one of the most productive oil fields in the continental United States.
Located four miles south of Interstate 20 on US Hwy. 259, Kilgore is 120 miles east of Dallas, TX, 70 miles west of Shreveport, LA, and 10 miles southwest of Longview, TX, a city of over 82,000 residents.

Kilgore College also offers courses in selected academic transfer, workforce, and adult and continuing community education and lifelong learning programs at area public schools.

Admissions
Admission Forms Kilgore College (KC) welcomes applications for admission. Kilgore College has no application fee and accepts the ApplyTexas application or the AccessKC application for admission (www.kilgore.edu). All other admissions information is available online or from the Office of Admissions and Registrar, Kilgore College, 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX 75662-3204, phone (903) 983-8209. Individuals who do not enroll in the semester for which they applied will be required to complete a reactivation form or a new admissions application.
General Admission Policy The college has an "open door" admission policy ensuring that all persons who can profit from post-secondary education will have an opportunity to enroll. Admission to the college does not imply admission to all programs. Applicants to any of the health occupations programs must meet special entrance requirements and complete an application form for the desired program. Specific requirements for these programs are explained under "Health Science Programs".
General Admission KC offers the following general admission categories:
• Freshman/GED: High school/home school graduates or GED recipients with no previous college coursework (dual credit courses do not count as previous college coursework for admission purposes) • Transfer: Students who have attended another institution of higher education after high school graduation • Transient: Visiting students who are attending another institution of higher education and plan to attend KC for a single term or the summer with the intention of returning to their home institution • Readmission: Former KC students seeking readmission
The college also offers special admission options.
All materials required for admission to the college must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Registrar prior to registering for classes.
Admissions Application Priority Dates Kilgore College encourages all applicants to start the admissions process early. Students submitting applications and completing the admissions process by the respective admissions priority date can take full advantage of early registration opportunities. Students registering early are more likely to get the
courses they desire on their preferred dates and times. Later applicants may find less flexibility in scheduling. Kilgore College’s Admissions Application Priority Dates are as follows:
Fall Semester July 1 Spring Semester November 1 Summer Terms April 1
Transcripts for Admission Purposes Any reference to high school or college transcripts submitted for admission means that an official transcript is required. To be considered "official", transcripts must: • Be issued within the last 6 months and bear the signature of the registrar and/or seal of the issuing institution • Be submitted directly from the issuing institution to KC (hand-carried transcripts may be considered if in an unopened, sealed college/high school letterhead envelope) • High school and home school transcripts without a graduation date are not considered official. A final transcript with graduation date must be provided after the graduation date • Unofficial transcripts may be considered on an individual and temporary basis, but official transcripts must be received in the first two weeks of the student’s first semester of attendance • Lacking academic credentials will result in a hold on the student’s account preventing future registration and the release of official KC transcripts
All transcripts submitted become the property of KC and cannot be returned. Records of students who do not enroll may be destroyed after one year.
Freshman Students who have a diploma from an accredited public or private high school; who have completed a nontraditional secondary education course of study in a non-accredited private school setting, including a home school; or who have successfully completed a Certificate of High School Equivalency (formerly called the GED) and who have attempted no college (other than dual credit coursework) must meet the following requirements:
1. Submit an Application for Admission as early as possible prior to registering for classes. 2. Submit an official high school transcript with graduation date or proof of obtaining a Certificate of High School Equivalency. Home School transcripts must be signed by the home school teacher or administrator and notarized by a notary public. 3. Submit Texas Success Initiative (TSI) Assessment test scores or submit proof of exemption from TSI. 4. Students who took college courses for dual credit at a school other than Kilgore College must submit an official college transcript in addition to the high school/home school transcript.
Kilgore College will not recognize a student as a high school graduate who has obtained a diploma through a school or online program that requires only payment of a fee with little or no coursework requirements. Determination of the legitimacy of these diplomas will be at the discretion of the Office of Admissions and Registrar. Graduates of such programs will be considered for admission on an individual approval basis (see Individual Approval section below).
Transfer Students who are transferring from another college or university must meet the following requirements:
1. Submit an Application for Admission as early as possible prior to registering for classes 2. Verify Texas Success Initiative (TSI) status and take the TSI assessment if scores or proof of exemption is not provided. 3. Submit to KC an official transcript directly from each college or university attended.
Note: Transfer students meeting the above requirements who are seeking a KC degree will be informed of the amount of credit which will transfer to Kilgore College as soon as possible and no later than the end of the first academic term in which they are enrolled. However, students seeking to transfer credit from non-regionally accredited institutions must submit a "petition for transfer credit" form. Students must also furnish supporting documents to substantiate that the course outcomes and faculty credentials are equivalent to those of KC courses, as described in the form.
Readmission Readmission is available to formerly enrolled students who have not enrolled in KC for one or more long semesters (spring or fall term) and who wish to return. Students who have been away from KC for one long semester (spring or fall term) may submit a reactivation form available in the Office of Admissions and Registrar. Students who have been away from KC for more than one long semester must reapply for admission. Whether these students were forced to leave (academic or disciplinary suspension) or chose to leave, they must meet the following requirements:
1. Submit a new Application for Admission or Reactivation Form as applicable as early as possible prior to registering for classes. We recommend students apply by the appropriate application priority date. 2. Submit an official transcript from every college or university attended since the last enrollment at KC as applicable.
Transient (Visiting) Students Transient students are those pursuing a degree elsewhere who attend Kilgore College for a long semester (fall or spring), December Mini, May Mini or summer terms and intend to return to their previous college or university. Students must be enrolled at their prior institution in the long semester (fall or spring) immediately preceding admission as a Kilgore College transient student. Traditionally, transient students enroll while home for the winter or summer breaks or for a single long semester.
Transient students are limited to one long semester (fall or spring) the December Mini, or May Mini and/or summer terms. Previous transient students are required to reapply if they return as a transient student for a future term. Should a transient student decide to continue at Kilgore College immediately following the transient term, the student must reapply as a transfer student and meet all transfer admission requirements.
When applying for admission, select the appropriate semester. December Mini students should use the spring admissions application. May Mini students should select the summer
admissions application. The applicant should select the Non Degree-Seeking Academic major option. Also indicate you are a transient-seeking a degree elsewhere on the application.
We recommend you apply by the appropriate application priority date. Students must request an official transcript from the school which they are currently attending to be sent to Kilgore College. Proof of other prerequisites may be required if the student has attended more than one college.
All visiting students should consult their academic advisor at their home institution to ensure applicability of courses prior to KC registration. It is the responsibility of the transient student to request an official KC transcript be sent to their home institution: https://www.kilgore.edu/current-students/registration-transcripts/transcript-request
Transient students cannot use financial aid awarded at their home institution at Kilgore College.
Request for Readmission Under the Second Chance Policy Section 51.931 of the Texas Education Code provides Texas residents with the "Right to an Academic Fresh Start". A student who is returning to Kilgore College after an absence of at least 10 years may seek a fresh start by requesting approval to use the Second Chance Policy upon application for readmission. Under this policy, all Kilgore College coursework completed 10 or more years prior to readmission is eliminated from computation of the grade point average (GPA). None of the coursework can be used to meet degree or prerequisite requirements, though the work remains on the student's record. In addition, coursework cannot be used to satisfy Texas Success Initiative requirements. Further, no credit will be given for transfer coursework earned 10 or more years ago. A student readmitted under this policy is placed on academic probation.
The student must seek application of this policy when applying to return to KC. The policy must be used on or before the last day of the semester or term in which the student returns to school.
Financial aid and veterans benefits may be affected by this policy. Acceptability of this policy by other colleges is solely at the discretion of the receiving institution. Additional information about this policy is available from the Office of Admissions and Registrar. Phone (903) 983- 8606.
Special Admission Options Dual Credit/Early Admissions Students who exhibit exceptional academic ability may apply for admission to KC and take college courses while completing high school according to the following policy. All students who enroll in classes at KC prior to high school graduation are considered dual credit students.
• To be eligible for enrollment in dual credit courses, students normally have at least junior year high school standing at the time the course is taken and demonstrate appropriate college readiness for the courses that are taken. Exception: Younger students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance and show college readiness may be recommended by their high school and individually approved by the Vice President of Instruction.
• High school students are generally limited to no more than two courses per semester. Exception: Students who have met the required minimum scores in reading, writing, and math may enroll in three dual credit courses during the fall or spring semesters (students wishing to enroll in more than three courses require permission from the high school principal and the KC VP of Instruction). In a standard summer term, a student may enroll in a maximum of two courses. Students may enroll in only one mini-term course at a time. • Students taking dual credit courses for the first time after their junior year must meet the minimum ACT, SAT, STAAR End-of-Course (English III and Algebra II), or TSI Assessment scores in the sections(s) of the test relevant to the course(s) in which they wish to enroll. • Students taking dual credit courses for the first time after their sophomore year (or those seeking approval to enroll prior to completion of the sophomore year) must meet the minimum PLAN, PSAT, ACT, SAT, STAAR End-of-Course (English II and Algebra I), or TSI Assessment scores in the sections(s) of the test relevant to the course(s) in which they wish to enroll. NOTE: PLAN and PSAT scores can only be used for enrollment during the junior year. ). • Students taking workforce education/technical courses may enroll based on designated STAAR scores (must meet program and course prerequisites; additional testing may be required prior to enrollment in college after high school graduation). • A dual credit student may neither enroll in a college level course in which he/she requires remediation nor take remedial classes at Kilgore College. • A final high school transcript must be provided upon graduation, even if not attending KC after graduation. • General academic courses offered through the dual credit program are courses that are commonly required for either an associate's or bachelor's degree. Acceptance of credit by another institution, however, is left to the discretion of the receiving institution. Public universities in Texas are not required to accept more than 66 hours of transfer coursework from a community college.
For a complete explanation of KC's dual credit policy, please see the Dual Credit Handbook: https://www.kilgore.edu/academics/dual-credit-for-high-school-students

Students admitted as Individual Approval must provide evidence of successful completion of the Certificate of High School Equivalency or graduation from a recognized high school during the first semester of enrollment, or future enrollment will be blocked. Federal regulations state that students admitted with this status must successfully complete one of the following requirements in order to be eligible for Title IV financial aid consideration:

A medical record giving evidence of immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, poliomyelitis, mumps, measles, rubella, and bacterial meningitis. 7. Kilgore College does not accept international students who are out of status in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS).
Note: The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-20 will not be issued until admission procedures are completed to the satisfaction of the Office of Admissions and Registrar.
Note: KC provides English language courses to assist students in attaining the level of English proficiency needed to enroll in academic courses. International students are subject to the requirements of the Texas Success Initiative (TSI-Assessment).
Additional English proficiency testing may be required prior to registration. During the entire period of study at KC, each international student is required to purchase health and accident medical insurance.
International Application Priority Dates Kilgore College encourages all applicants to start the admissions process early. Applications submitted after the respective international admissions priority date will not be guaranteed acceptance for that semester. Kilgore College’s Admissions Application Priority Dates for international students are as follows: Fall Semester July 15 Spring Semester November 15 Summer Semester March 15
Health Science Programs Health science programs have additional entrance requirements and recommend early application. Admission to the college in no way implies or guarantees entrance to the professional health science programs. Prior to making application to any professional health science program, the student should contact the health science academic advisor, located in the Canterbury Engineering Science (CANT), office 208, at (903) 983-8184 or at www.kilgore.edu . Entrance procedures are designed to ensure fairness to each applicant. To ensure orderly and timely progress toward acceptance, progression, and completion of the desired health science
program, the student is responsible for seeking advice, for knowing and meeting requirements of the health science program of interest, for enrolling in courses appropriate to that program, and for taking courses in the proper sequence.
Note: An applicant must show evidence of good physical and mental health. If accepted into a health science program, the student must submit a medical record and certification of immunizations for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), tetanus, and, in most cases, Hepatitis B. Updated immunizations are an integral part of health care and provide protection against these communicable diseases.
Auditing Courses The Office of Admissions and Registrar may grant a student permission to audit a course for special reasons. Courses involving computers, equipment, labs, clinicals, etc. also require departmental approval. Such permission gives the student only the privilege of observing and does not include submitting papers or taking tests. A student desiring to audit a course fills out an application for admission, submits official transcripts, completes an audit request form, and registers in the Office of
Admissions and Registrar only after regular registration and on a space-available basis. Audit students are required to meet the same admissions requirements as all other students, with the exception of placement testing. Tuition and fees for auditing are the same as those fees charged for enrolling in a course for credit. The college will not refund tuition and fees paid to audit a course.
Immunizations The college highly recommends that each student take precautionary measures by keeping inoculations current. According to the Texas Department of Health, those born in 1957 or later may not have been properly immunized. The single dose measles immunization that many received is inadequate. The classroom setting increases the chance of exposure. If a student was born after January 2, 1957, the student should see his or her physician or visit a public health clinic for proper immunization against measles (two doses of measles vaccine administered on or after the first birthday and at least 30 days apart), rubella (one dose of rubella vaccine on or after the first birthday), and mumps (one dose of mumps vaccine on or after the first birthday). The tetanus vaccine is effective for about ten years and should be boosted at ten-year intervals in combination with the diphtheria vaccine. It is common for older adults to develop tetanus because many have not received booster shots.
Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Requirement Bacterial Meningitis is a serious, potentially deadly disease that can progress extremely fast - so take utmost caution. It is an inflammation of the membranes that surround the brain and
spinal cord. The bacteria that cause meningitis can also infect the blood. This disease strikes about 3,000 Americans each year, including 100-125 on college campuses, leading to 5-15 deaths among college students every year. There is treatment, but those who survive may develop severe health problems or disabilities. All entering students under 22 years of age must provide documentation of receiving an initial bacterial meningitis vaccination dose or booster within the last 5 years. All new, transfer, or former students who are returning must show proof of having the vaccination at least 10 days prior to the start of the semester. Students may not register until documentation of vaccination is on file. Proof of the bacterial meningitis vaccination must be provided to the Office of Admissions and Registrar (provide copies, not originals). Kilgore College will not return vaccination records submitted nor provide copies for use at other schools. Records may be mailed, faxed, or delivered in person.
Kilgore College Office of Admissions and Registrar 1100 Broadway Kilgore, TX 75662 Fax: (903) 983-8607 Devall Student Center-2nd floor
Exemptions from Bacterial Meningitis Vaccination Requirement Students age 22 or older are exempt. A student is not required to submit evidence of receiving the vaccination against bacterial meningitis if the student, or a parent or guardian of a student, submits to the institution an affidavit or a certificate signed by a physician who is duly registered and licensed to practice medicine in the United States, in which it is stated that, in the physician's opinion, the vaccination required would be injurious to the health and well-being of the student. The only means by which a student can object to vaccination for enrollment purposes is to use the Texas Department of State Health Services' current, official form for conscientious objection. Complete the online form at https://webds.dshs.state.tx.us/immcojc/. After entering all the requested information, print the form, sign it, date it and submit the form to the Office of Admissions and Registrar before registering for courses.

The college reserves the right to change tuition and fees in keeping with the acts of the Texas Legislature and the KC Board of Trustees.
Payment of Tuition and Fees Registration is not completed until payment of tuition and fees is made. A student may make payment in person by cash, check or money order payable to Kilgore College. Visa, MasterCard, or Discover credit card payments are acceptable upon presentation of the credit card. The student must provide positive identification for any payment to the college.

Tuition and Fees by Residency Classification Residency Classification Texas Education Code Section 54.052 outlines the guidelines for determining Texas residency classification. Guidelines for determining in-district and out-of-district classification are based on the Kilgore College Tax District and policies of the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, and
are detailed below. Tuition is based on residency status and the number of semester hours in which a student enrolls. The following define the types of residency status:
1. An in-district student is a resident of the State of Texas domiciled within the Kilgore College District composed of the school districts of Kilgore, Sabine, Gladewater, White Oak, Leverett's Chapel, Overton, and West Rusk County Consolidated. Kilgore College taxes must be assessed on the residential property where the student is domiciled and provided to the Office of Admissions and Registrar when requested. 2. An out-of-district student is a resident of the State of Texas domiciled outside the Kilgore College District. 3. A non-resident student is a resident outside the state of Texas, including international students.
Reclassification of Residency Status The college will require the student to sign an oath of residency as part of the admission application process. It is the student's responsibility to use the proper residence classification. If there is any question as to right of classification as a resident of Texas or the Kilgore College District, it is the student's obligation, prior to or at the time of registration, to raise the question with the Office of Admissions and Registrar.
The student should report any change in residency status to the Office of Admissions and Registrar before registration. Likewise, a student classified as a non-resident will remain in that status until such time as the student has requested reclassification and the Office of Admissions and Registrar has officially approved the request. If inaccurate or fraudulent information is provided by the student to document residency status, the student will be held liable for repayment of any tuition/fees that were under-charged as a result of that information. Reclassification requests must be initiated by the student. Residency status changes are not made automatically.
For reclassification to be effective for a specific semester, the request for reclassification and any documentation must be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Registrar on or before the official reporting date (ORD) of the semester. The ORD may be found in the college academic calendar or by calling the Office of Admissions and Registrar. The student should direct all questions concerning residency status to the Office of Admissions and Registrar, located in the Devall Student Center. Phone (903) 983-8606.
Documentation of Basis for Texas Residency Status Classification as a Texas resident requires that the student substantiate residence in Texas for the immediate twelve months preceding registration. Factors other than time in the state may affect residency classification. For example, the legal home address of a student who is dependent for income tax purposes is considered to be the address of the parent(s) claiming the student. Also, students who come to Texas for the purpose of education are ineligible to claim Texas residency for tuition purposes as long as they remain in school. A complete evaluation of individual circumstances is provided at the time of application for admission. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions and Registrar (903) 983-8202. In addition to the core residency questionnaire, documents acceptable for this purpose may include, but are not limited to, an official Texas high school transcript, the employer's statement of date of employment, lease agreement, a permanent Texas driver's license (at least one year old), and a Texas voter registration.
Documentation of Basis for In-District Residency Status All Texas residents are classified as out-of-district until sufficient information is on file to verify in-district residency. The legal home address of a student who is dependent for income tax purposes is the address of the parent/guardian claiming the student. Therefore, the residency status of a dependent student is based upon the residence of the parent/guardian. EXCEPTION: If a parent/guardian who does not claim the student for income tax purposes lives in-district, the student may be granted in-district residency (proof of parental status/guardianship and in-district residence are required). Students who are independent for income tax purposes must establish their own residence in the district. Students who are under age 24 must provide proof of independence. Documents acceptable for verifying in-district residency may include, but are not limited to, a permanent Texas driver's license, a property tax receipt, a lease agreement, and a utility bill. Additional information is available from the Office of Admissions and Registrar (903) 983-8202.
Waiver for Property Ownership The KC Board of Trustees has waived the difference between out-of-district resident rates and in-district rates for a person and his or her dependents who own residential real estate in the Kilgore College District. Additional information for required documentation is available from the Office of Admissions and Registrar (903) 983-8202.

Registration
Prior to registration, the student must meet the appropriate admissions requirements explained in the section "Admissions". Students must also resolve any holds that block registration. Registration for classes is necessary for every semester of attendance at KC. Official days of advisement and registration periods are specified in the "Official College Calendar". Consult the KC website for classes offered and registration information. Registration is complete when the student receives a validated receipt from the Business Office. Additional information regarding registration is available from the Office of Admissions and Registrar at (903) 983- 8606 or online at www.kilgore.edu.
Importance of Submitting Correct Data Students are required to verify the accuracy of all personal data in registration materials. The college assumes no responsibility for students' credits when students use different names or variations of names during registration.

Academic Policies
Academic Honesty Statement It is the responsibility of students and faculty to help maintain scholastic integrity at the college by refusing to participate in or tolerate scholastic dishonesty. Plagiarism and other forms of academic dishonesty undermine the very purpose of the college and diminish the value of an education. Specific sanctions for academic dishonesty are outlined in the Kilgore College Catalog and Student Handbook.
Student Records Access (FERPA): The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) affords students certain rights with respect to their education records.
These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student's education records within 45 days of the day the college receives a request for access. 2. The right to request the amendment of the student's education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student's privacy rights under FERPA. 3. The right to provide written consent before the college discloses personally identifiable information from the student's education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent.
Students seeking to exercise these rights should contact the Kilgore College Office of Admissions and Registrar, located in the Devall Student Center to complete and submit the appropriate forms.
The college discloses education records without a student's prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the college in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); contractors, volunteers, and other non-employees performing institutional services and functions; a person serving on the Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary or grievance committee, or assisting another school official in performing his or her tasks. Certain offices at Kilgore College utilize student assistants in fulfilling professional responsibilities. These individuals receive FERPA training and are classified as school officials when working with student records. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review an education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the college. Upon request, the college also discloses education records without consent to officials of another school in which a student seeks or intends to enroll, is currently enrolled, or has been enrolled, as long as the records relate to the student's enrollment or transfer to the other school.
In compliance with FERPA, the college may release to the general public the following types of directory information without the written consent of the student: 1. Name, address, telephone listings 2. Date, place of birth 3. Enrollment status, such as full-time/part-time 4. Classification 5. Major field of study 6. Dates of attendance, awards received, degrees earned 7. Most recent previous educational institution attended
8. Weight and height of members of athletic teams 9. Participation in officially recognized activities and sports 10. Photographs and other electronic images including audio and video
By making a written request to the Office of Admissions and Registrar, the student may request that this information be withheld from the public. Students have the right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the college to comply with the requirements of FERPA. Complaints should be addressed to:
Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202-5920
As of January 3, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education's FERPA regulations expand the circumstances under which your education records and personally identifiable information (PII) contained in such records - including your Social Security Number, grades, or other private information - may be accessed without your consent. First, the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or state and local education authorities ("Federal and State Authorities") may allow access to your records and PII without your consent to any third party designated by a Federal or State Authority to evaluate a federal- or state-supported education program. The evaluation may relate to any program that is "principally engaged in the provision of education," such as early childhood education and job training, as well as any program that is administered by an education agency or institution. Second, Federal and State Authorities may allow access to your education records and PII without your consent to researchers performing certain types of studies, in certain cases even when we object to or do not request such research. Federal and State Authorities must obtain certain use-restriction and data security promises from the entities that they authorize to receive your PII, but the Authorities need not maintain direct control over such entities. In addition, in connection with Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems, State Authorities may collect, compile, permanently retain, and share without your consent PII from your education records, and they may track your participation in education and other programs by linking such PII to other personal information about you that they obtain from other Federal or State data sources, including workforce development, unemployment insurance, child welfare, juvenile justice, military service, and migrant student records systems.
Transcript Regulations The Office of Admissions and Registrar issues official transcripts according to the provisions of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. This office will not honor a transcript request without the student's signature unless the transcript is being sent to another college for educational purposes. During peak periods such as during commencement and registration, the student should make transcript requests three weeks in advance. Receiving institutions require official transcripts from each institution a student has attended, even though transfer work may be posted to the KC transcript for reference. The student must clear all financial and other obligations to the college before the college will release the transcript.
34
Kilgore College Permanent Record Each Kilgore College student enrolled in credit courses beyond the official reporting date of any semester or term establishes a permanent record. A student's permanent record may include personal and academic information. Student permanent records are housed in the central computer system and in other permanent storage. The central computer system staff is responsible for the technological maintenance of permanent records, and the Office of Admissions and Registrar staff is responsible for updates to student permanent records. A transcript (copy) of the permanent record may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Registrar at no charge.
Reinstatement Policy After a semester begins and under certain circumstances, a formerly enrolled student may be reinstated in their semester courses if the student was dropped in error or for not meeting expected deadlines or policies. Reinstatement is not automatic, and a student seeking reinstatement should visit the Office of Admissions and Registrar to request reinstatement. A Petition for Reinstatement form and applicable supporting documentation will be required. Penalties and fees may apply.
Student Classification The student's classification is based on cumulative hours passed (not counting hours currently enrolled.) A student is classified as follows: Freshman Student who has 0-29 semester credit hours Sophomore Student who has 30-72 semester credit hours Unclassified Student who has more than 72 semester credit hours Part-time Student enrolled in fewer than 12 semester hours in any semester Full-time Student who is enrolled in a minimum of 12 semester hours in any semester
Note 1: A student’s term grade point average and full-time/part-time status are determined by the number of hours registered in a given term and may include developmental hours. The student’s cumulative/career grade point average, hours earned, and classification are calculated excluding developmental hours.
Note 2: In order to meet Federal Student Loans Program Enrollment Certification requirements at KC, any student who is enrolled in a major which has a major code of RNSA or RNSB and who is enrolled for 6-11 hours, which must include courses entitled RNSG and which relate to clinical experience as defined by the Dean of Math, Science and Health Science, will be considered as a full-time student at KC. This policy applies only to those students who have federal student loans and is only for enrollment certification for student loan requirement. The policy does not apply to any other federal or state grant program at KC.
Course Credit Course credit is based on the semester hour unit. A typical lecture course that meets three times each week during a long semester carries three semester hours of credit while a course that meets more hours during the week or has an assigned laboratory may carry four or more hours of credit. The second digit in the course number indicates the number of semester hours that a student is granted for successfully completing that course.
Course Transfer Transfer of Credit to KC Transfer of credit from another college or university to KC involves consideration of accreditation, comparability of course work, and applicability of that course work to a KC degree program. Transfer work for students who already have a college degree, or for those not seeking a degree, may not be evaluated. The college will receive transfer credit from another college or university according to the following guidelines:
1. Credit for courses in which a passing grade ("D" or better) has been earned may be transferred to KC from colleges and universities accredited through recognized regional accrediting associations. It is not the policy of the college to transfer credits from any institution not so accredited without documentation that the coursework adequately addresses the student learning outcomes of the comparable KC course and that the instructor meets SACSCOC qualifications for teaching the applicable course(s). 2. The college will consider course work completed at colleges and universities outside the U.S. on an individual basis. 3. A student attempting to transfer credit from another accredited college or university must furnish Kilgore College with an official transcript(s) prior to the end of the student's first academic term. Kilgore College students completing courses as a transient student at another institution should provide official transcripts immediately upon completion of the course. Upon receipt of the official transcript(s), the Office of Admissions and Registrar will complete a course-by-course evaluation as needed no later than the end of the first academic term in which the student is enrolled. Students may view transfer coursework posted to their KC transcript in AccessKC. If an official transcript(s) is not received as stated above, the student will not be allowed to enroll in additional semesters until the information is provided. 4. Transferred coursework may be posted to a KC student transcript for reference, but transfer grades are not included in the KC grade point average calculation. 5. Kilgore College accepts credit earned at other institutions by advanced placement examinations or through experiential learning under the same conditions as credit earned by traditional course work.
Transfer of Credit from KC to Other Colleges and Universities Transfer of credit from KC to other colleges and universities is usually accomplished without difficulty. It is the responsibility of the student, however, to determine prior to registration if the courses will transfer. Transfer of specific courses normally depends upon the applicability of the completed work toward a degree plan specified by the receiving college or university. Therefore, the student should plan any KC program of study to parallel, as nearly as possible, the requirements of the program at the college or university to which the student plans to transfer. A library of catalogs of most colleges and universities to which students might want to transfer is available in the counseling center. The counseling center maintains course articulation on conversion charts for many Texas institutions of higher learning. These cross- reference charts enable the students to determine the course equivalent at the college or university to which they plan to transfer. Counseling assistance is available to students who want more information about transferring to another college or university.
Note: Senior institutions treat transfer grades in various ways. While the grade "C" is usually considered minimal for transfer, the specific average required varies with the admissions policy established by the receiving institution. Some colleges and universities accept "D" grades if the student's overall grade average is "C" or better. Certain institutions require that the student repeat any course in which the student earned a "D" grade; some receive the "I" as an "F" grade.
Guarantee for Transfer Credit If any student completes the KC Core Curriculum, any Texas college or university is required to accept it in total. KC guarantees to its Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Associate of Arts in Teaching graduates and to other students, who have met the requirements of a 62/63- credit-hour transfer plan, the transferability of course credits to those Texas colleges or universities that cooperate in the development of KC Articulation Guides. If such courses are rejected by the college or the university, KC offers the student tuition-free alternative courses which are acceptable to the college or university.
Special conditions that apply to the guarantee are as follows:
1. Courses must be identified by the receiving university as transferable and applicable in Kilgore College Articulation Guides dated 1991-92 or later. 2. The catalog of the receiving institution states the total number of credits accepted in transfer, grades required, relevant grade point average, and duration of transferability. 3. The guarantee applies to courses included in a written transfer plan that must be filed with KC. The plan includes the institution to which the student will transfer the baccalaureate major, degree sought, and the date such a decision was made.
Transfer Dispute Resolution Transfer disputes may arise when a lower-division course is not accepted for credit by a Texas institution of higher education. To qualify as a dispute the course(s) in question must be offered by the institution denying the credit (receiving institution), or in the case of upper-level institutions, must be published in a lower-division course accepted for fulfilling lower-level requirements. For community colleges, the course(s) must be listed in the Lower-Division Academic Course Guide Manual, and be offered at the receiving institution. Additionally, the sending institution must challenge the receiving institution's denial of credit.
The following procedures shall be followed by public institutions of higher education in the resolution of credit transfer disputes involving lower division courses:
1. If an institution of higher education does not accept course credit earned by a student at another institution of higher education, the receiving institution shall give written notice to the student and to the sending institution that transfer of the course credit is denied. 2. The two institutions and the student shall attempt to resolve the transfer of the course credit in accordance with Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board rules and/or its guidelines. 3. If the transfer dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the student or the sending institution within 45 days after the date the student received written notice of denial, the institution whose credit is denied for transfer shall notify the Commissioner of Higher Education of the denial. 4. The Commissioner of Higher Education or the Commissioner's designee shall make the final determination about the dispute concerning the transfer of course credit and give
5. written notice of the determination to the involved student and institutions. Problems that occur during the transfer process will not always be categorized as disputes, and will not follow dispute procedures and guidelines. Problems are clearly within the jurisdiction of the receiving institution.
Transfer Students Seeking a Bachelor’s Degree Notice Tuition Rebate Program Certain undergraduates who earn a bachelor’s degree from a public institution of higher education in Texas may be eligible for a tuition rebate of up to $1,000 if they attempt no more than three semester hours beyond what is required for their bachelor’s degree. Information on this program can be found at www.collegefortexans.com/Residency/finaid.cfm.
Lower-Division Transfer Limitations No university shall be required to accept in transfer or toward a degree program more than sixty-six (66) semester credit hours of lower-division academic credit. Universities, however, may choose to accept additional credit hours. [Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Rules, Chapter 4, Subchapter B, 4.25 (f)]
Non-Traditional Credit Kilgore College (KC) recognizes and values knowledge and skills gained in many ways. Credit may be awarded for noncredit coursework, by examination, or through experiential learning. The Kilgore College Academic Credit for Noncredit Coursework, Examination, and Experiential Learning Policy is available on the College’s Policy and Procedures webpage. Students admitted to KC may earn academic credit for learning achieved through experiences that they have completed before enrolling. The college assesses a fee for administering examinations and a fee for posting to the transcript credit awarded.
Credit for Experience KC awards credit for experiential learning when students demonstrate that they have achieved the student learning outcomes of a designated workforce education course by way of a departmental exam or appropriate industry recognized credential. Credit may be awarded toward completion of an Associate of Applied Science degree or a Certificate of Completion for learning achieved through experiences outside typical educational settings when it is consistent with the educational objectives of the student, the requirements of the curriculum, and the policy on granting credit for experiential learning.
1. Virtually all credit granted for experience must be validated through a departmental examination. To inquire if an appropriate departmental examination is available, students seeking credit for experience should contact the appropriate division dean. Appropriate documentation of skills and/or knowledge must accompany the petition to take the departmental examination. In exceptional cases, as determined by the division dean, where credit is awarded without validation through a departmental examination, the request for credit must be supported by official and verifiable documentation. Credit may be awarded for military training based on American Council on Education (ACE) recommendations, as recorded on military transcripts. ACE-recommended credit must be equivalent to existing KC courses. 2. A minimum of 15 semester hours in residence must be completed before credit is posted and a degree is awarded. For certificates, credit may be posted when at least
3. three semester hours have been earned in residence; however, in all cases, a minimum of 25% of the credits in the award must be earned through KC course instruction. 4. A maximum of 24 semester credit hours may be awarded toward the Associate of Applied Science degree while a maximum of 15 credit hours may be applied toward a Certificate of Completion. 5. The symbol "CR" (credit), rather than a grade, will be posted to a transcript. A grade equivalent of "C" or higher must be earned on an examination in order for "CR" to be awarded. Unsuccessful attempts are not recorded on transcripts. 6. Fees for taking departmental exams and for posting credits to KC transcripts are listed in the KC Catalog.
KC awards credit for appropriate documented experience in the following instances: 1. Military training and experience, including basic training 2. Selected work experience in business and industry 3. Professional certificates, licenses, and credentials 4. Learning achieved through proprietary schools, apprenticeship, or other intra-company training. 5. Learning achieved through noncredit workshops, seminars, and conferences
Credit for Experience-Kinesiology Kilgore College may award two semester credit hours of Kinesiology credit based upon completion of military basic training. Documentation of the training must be received before credit will be awarded.
Credit by Examination and for Advanced Placement KC awards credit by exam [e.g., College Board Advanced Placement, College Board College Level Examination Program, and International Baccalaureate (IB)] for designated courses based on commonly recognized standards.
1. Except where noted below, credit by examination and advanced placement are available both to incoming students and students currently enrolled. 2. KC will award credit only after students enroll at the College and earn 15 credit hours through KC instruction. This restriction does not apply to the IB program. 3. Scores earned on national examinations should be sent to KC. Students must contact the Office of Admissions and Registrar to have credit posted on transcripts. 4. The symbol "CR" (credit), rather than a grade, will be posted to a transcript. 5. KC will not award credit by examination for courses in which a student is currently enrolled, for courses which a student has previously failed, or for courses which are prerequisites to courses for which the student has already earned credit. 6. A student may earn a maximum of 24 credit hours through credit by examination. 7. Credit by examination or advanced placement is not applicable toward determination of scholastic standing or academic honors. Likewise, credit hours earned through credit by examination or advanced placement will not satisfy requirements for minimum hours in residence that the student must earn at KC for a certificate of completion or a degree. 8. Colleges and universities to which KC students plan to transfer determine their own policies for the transfer of credits awarded through examinations. KC urges students to verify transferability and applicability of such course credits with the colleges or universities to which they intend to transfer. 9. Fees for posting credits to KC transcripts are listed in the KC Catalog.
Credit-By-Examination Options College Board Advanced Placement Examinations Potential college freshmen may earn course credit through the College Board Advanced Placement Program examinations offered at selected high schools in May of each year. Students enrolled in Advanced Placement (AP) courses or honors courses qualify for these examinations. Students who take these examinations should have the College Board forward their scores to the Office of Admissions and Registrar, Kilgore College, 1100 Broadway, Kilgore, TX 75662-3204. Students will not receive test results from College Board until mid- July. AP examinations for which students may earn KC course credit include the following:

* The student must qualify on both the objective and essay parts of the English exam.
College Level Examination Program (CLEP) The College Level Examination Program (CLEP) is designed primarily to evaluate non- traditional, college-level education such as independent study or correspondence work. Students may utilize CLEP, however, as a means to demonstrate achievement in more traditional educational settings. Although KC does not accept scores for CLEP general examinations, the college may grant credit for specified CLEP subject examinations.
For test dates and deadlines, call the Testing Center at (903) 983-8215 or e-mail [email protected]. Students may obtain registration forms from the KC Testing Center, or at www.kilgore.edu/testing.asp . The following are CLEP subject examinations for which a student may earn KC credit:

* The student must qualify on both the objective and essay parts of the English exam to receive credit. Students will not receive credit for courses previously or currently enrolled in.
Departmental Examinations For courses in some workforce education programs, students may earn credit by submitting a written request to the division dean for a departmental examination. Appropriate evaluation documentation of skills and/or knowledge must accompany the petition to take the departmental examination. The college will assess a fee for the examination and a fee for posting a grade to the transcript (see chart below). Some of the courses for which students may earn credit by departmental examination are the following: ARTC 1325 CETT 1325 METL 1313 WLDG 1457 ARTC 2317 CETT 1409 MRKG 1311 AUMT 1305 COMP SCI (ITXX) OSHT 1401

BMGT 1303 DFTG 1309 POFT 1329 BUSG 1371 DFTG 1333 WLDG 1428
Advanced Placement Options Advanced Placement in Health Occupations Programs For studies completed in accredited health and medical programs at other institutions, including hospitals, the college may award credit which will apply toward completion of the Associate of Applied Science degree. Interested persons may apply to the appropriate program director by presenting documented and verifiable evidence of current certification by the controlling registry or certifying agency. The applicant must also have worked in his or her field full time a minimum of two years in the past five years. In some instances, it may be necessary that the applicant also satisfactorily pass a challenge examination administered by the college. The number of equivalent credits awarded may not exceed the total number of credits required in the major area of the Associate of Applied Science degree being sought. The college will not post the credit hours granted to a transcript until the student has completed at least 15 semester hours of instruction at KC.
Advanced Placement Without Credit A student who wishes to enroll in an advanced course for which there is no credit by examination or departmental examination for the prerequisite courses may do so with the consent of the appropriate dean. The student must demonstrate or present documentation that he or she possesses the academic background and/or experiences to justify the advanced placement. The student will not receive credit for the prerequisite courses and no fees apply.
Non-Traditional Credit

Course Numbering System Courses offered follow a four-digit numbering system. The first digit indicates the state- designated academic level of the course [0 = institutional credit (developmental), 1 = freshman, 2 = sophomore] and, the second digit reflects the semester-credit-hour value of the course. The third and fourth digits indicate sequences.
KC participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS). Participating institutions have signed agreements accepting a standard numbering system for commonly transferred academic courses. KC advises students to seek assistance through the Counseling Center, located in the Devall Student Center, when planning transfer course work. For specific information on course equivalencies and degree requirements, students should contact the colleges or universities to which they plan to transfer.
Prerequisites Each student is responsible for determining prerequisites for a course prior to enrollment. Prerequisites are listed in each course description in the college catalog.
Scholastic Load During the long semester, the normal course load is five academic courses or 15 to 17 semester hours. In addition to the normal load, students may take up to four semester hours in music- Applied (MUAP) and kinesiology activity (KINE). When students earn a 2.25 grade point average (GPA) or greater during a long semester or summer term, they qualify to take a total of 6 courses or 18-20 semester hours during the following semester. For classes taken in an 8- week format during the fall and spring semesters, the maximum class load is approximately half of what would be taken during a 16-week format. The maximum course load during a summer term is 8 semester hours for each term. Students may enroll in only one mini-term course at a time. Students who are employed or who have family responsibilities are cautioned to consider carefully the course load they take. The student who is overly extended is likely to have scholastic difficulties. Students should contact the dean for their major to request permission to add hours above the maximum scholastic load.
Grades for Course Work Grade Reports. Grades are available at the end of each term online through the AccessKC student web portal (https://accesskc.kilgore.edu/ics).
Final Examinations and I (Incomplete) Grades Final examinations should be culminating experiences representative of course content covered throughout the term. Instructors will administer final examinations according to the academic calendar schedule. Instructors should work with students whose individual exam/class schedule or life events prevent them from taking the exam during the scheduled time. Instructors and students should make every effort to complete all assignments, including the final exam, by the end of the scheduled term. In rare cases for which this is not possible, the instructor may assign a grade of I (Incomplete) for the course. Prior to the end of the term, students must communicate with instructors and secure their approval in writing to complete any course requirements after the end of the term. Written approval should contain the specific assignment(s) and date(s) for completion. Please note that all I grades are computed as Fs in the grade point average until the instructor submits a grade change. Students should complete all course requirements for which they have received an I grade no later than the end of the fourth week following the first class day of the next 8-week term of a fall or spring semester. This time frame applies to all courses regardless of their length.
Grade Symbols The college indicates grades by the following symbols: A (90-100) excellent (80-89) above average B
C (70-79) fair or average D (60-69) lowest passing mark F (0-59) failing I Incomplete IP* Incomplete Passing W Withdrawn from course CR Credit by examination and advanced placement
Certain health science programs have grading scales that differ from the above. Exceptions are explained on the appropriate program in Occupational Courses of Study.
Computation of the Grade Point Average (GPA) KC utilizes the four-point system. The semester GPA is the total number of grade points earned divided by the number of semester hours attempted including developmental hours. The cumulative GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours attempted by the student in all terms excluding developmental hours. Semester grade symbols have the following values: A=4 points; B=3 points; C=2 points; D=1 point; F or I=0. W and IP are not included in the calculations of the GPA.
Grade Change Procedure An individual course grade may be changed when the faculty member certifies in writing that an error was made in computing the original grade or when a student has successfully completed work to satisfy a grade of incomplete (I). The appropriate dean and Vice President of Instruction must approve the grade change. An instructor cannot change a student's grade after one calendar year from the date the grade was assigned.
Grade Appeals A student who wishes to protest a grade earned in a course should first discuss the grade with the instructor. If no resolution is reached, the student may appeal to the appropriate dean. If no satisfactory conclusion can be reached at this level, the student may appeal to the Vice President of Instruction whose decision is final. A student has one calendar year from the date the grade was assigned to appeal the grade.
Repeating Courses If a student repeats a course, all grades remain on the transcript, but the college counts only the highest grade in determining the overall grade point average (GPA). The college cautions the student, however, that other colleges may not follow this practice. A student planning to transfer to another college or university should check with the Admissions Office at that institution to determine the course repetition policy at the receiving institution.
Academic Honors The college recognizes students with high academic achievement in the following ways:
Dean's List The dean's list is published soon after the close of each long semester. To make this list, the student must complete 12 or more semester hours of non-developmental coursework and must have earned a grade point average (GPA) at least 3.5 on a 4.0 scale for that semester. This semester-based honor is noted on the student’s academic transcript.
President’s List The president’s list is published soon after the close of each long semester. To make this list, the student must complete 12 or more semester hours of non-developmental coursework and must have earned a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0 on a 4.0 scale for that semester. This semester-based honor is noted on the student’s academic transcript.
Phi Theta Kappa Phi Theta Kappa is the international honor society for community colleges. The local chapter, Gamma Omicron, was established the year after KC was founded. Members are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, and citizenship. Membership is by invitation only. To be eligible for membership in the local chapter, a student (a) must be regularly enrolled in the college and be in good standing, (b) take no less than 12 hours in the long semester preceding initiation OR accumulate a minimum of 12 hours over at least two full semesters as a part-time student, and (c) have no less than a 3.50 grade point average (GPA) based on a 4.00 scale in those hours. Only coursework taken at KC applies. (Developmental coursework does not apply.) To maintain active membership, a student must remain in good standing and maintain a GPA of not less than 3.25 for coursework completed at KC. This designation is noted on the student's transcript and diploma.
Graduation with Honors Graduates with a GPA of 3.50 or above are considered to be graduating with honors. To qualify for graduation with honors, a student must earn at KC 50 percent of the hours that apply to graduation. For determining honor graduates, the Office of Admissions and Registrar will compute the grade point average (GPA) for the student's entire Kilgore College record. Transfer grades are not included in the GPA calculation. Honors graduation is designated as follows:
4.00 and all hours awarded by KC Presidential Honors 4.00 Graduation with highest honors 3.75 - 3.99 Graduation with high honors 3.50 - 3.74 Graduation with honors
This designation is noted on the student's transcript and diploma.
Student Recognitions Leadership Excellence Every Spring semester, each recognized KC club or organization may nominate one individual who has demonstrated exceptional leadership at the college. To be nominated, students must be classified as a sophomore (completed a minimum of 30 semester credit hours) and have a minimum of a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Other criteria often considered by clubs/organizations in making their nominations include club, organization and/or campus involvement; demonstration of leadership qualities; exercise of actual leadership duties through service in a club/organization’s officer role; and/or personal character. KC faculty and staff select the recipient of this recognition by popular vote. The selected student is recognized in The Flare.
Most Outstanding Every Spring semester, each instructional program and/or academic major select one individual as their most outstanding student. Typically, nominated students are classified as a sophomore (completed a minimum of 30 semester credit hours) and have a minimum of a 2.75 cumulative GPA. Other criteria often considered by departments include program specific GPA, program involvement, and/or personal character. Nominated students are recognized in The Flare. Most Representative Every Spring semester, faculty and staff of Kilgore College select one male and one female student to be recognized as most representative. These students are selected by popular vote from the list of nominees submitted for most outstanding student recognition. Campus involvement and/or personal character are just a few of the criteria often used in the selection of these outstanding individuals. Selected students are recognized in The Flare. Student Spotlight At various meetings of the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, a student who exemplifies excellence in learning, leadership and co-curricular activity is recognized. Students are nominated by a faculty or staff member and nominations are evaluated by a committee representing the various instructional divisions on campus. For more information on the Student Spotlight recognition, contact the Vice President of Student Development’s Office. Course and Enrollment Withdrawal Course Drop Limits Students entering college for the first time in Fall 2007 or after are subject to Senate Bill 1231 passed by the Texas Legislature in May 2007. This law limits students to a total of six drops in their entire college career in Texas public institutions, unless the courses were dropped in order to withdraw from school or for certain approved reasons. To be counted toward the total, drops must appear on the transcript and be signified by a grade of "W". Students are required to select a primary reason for withdrawing from a course at the time the course is dropped. The following are approved reasons that do not count in the drop total:
• personal illness • care of sick, injured, or needy person • death of family member or close friend • called to active military duty • family member or close friend called to active military duty • change in work schedule • transportation problems • personal/family obligations • withdrawal from school • administratively withdrawn by instructor or other college personnel
Drops from the following courses will not count in the drop total: • courses taken prior to high school graduation • developmental courses • lab/clinical courses that must be taken in conjunction with a lecture • all courses in the following departments: College Success Strategies (COLS, ORIE); Religion (RELI)
Students wishing to dispute the drop total must do so by contacting the Office of Admissions and Registrar. If the dispute cannot be resolved between the student and the Office of Admissions and Registrar, the student should follow the complaint procedure for non- instructional matters as defined herein. Reasons for dropping courses may not be changed after one calendar year from the end of the semester in which the courses were dropped.
Drops and Withdrawals • A Student-Initiated Drop is an official action whereby a student informs the Office of Admissions and Registrar that the student will cease attending a class in which he or she is enrolled while remaining in at least one other course.
• A Faculty-Initiated Drop is an official action whereby the faculty member for a particular course informs the Office of Admissions and Registrar that the student has ceased attending a class in which the student is enrolled.
• Withdrawing from the college is an official action whereby a student informs the Counseling Center and the Office of Admissions and Registrar that the student will cease attending all classes in which he or she enrolled.
Course Drop Procedures 1. Visit the Office of Admissions and Registrar or the KC-Longview office to request that the course be dropped. The Office of Admissions and Registrar will notify the instructor that the student has been dropped. 2. The instructor may drop a student who ceases to attend class if the student does not formally withdraw in the Office of Admissions and Registrar. 3. It is the student's responsibility to drop a course by the stated deadline to ensure a grade of 'W'.
Enrollment Withdrawal Procedures 1. Obtain an official withdrawal form at the Office of Admissions and Registrar or the KC-Longview office. 2. Complete an official withdrawal form by meeting with the offices indicated on the form. 3. Return the completed withdrawal form to the Office of Admissions and Registrar or the KC-Longview office. 4. Meet all obligations to the college before the Office of Admissions and Registrar can complete the withdrawal process and/or issue a transcript. 5. It is the student's responsibility to withdraw by the stated deadline to ensure a grade of 'W'.
"W" Grade Assigned for Dropping a Course or Withdrawing from Enrollment. • All course drops and/or withdrawals from enrollment, whether instructor or student initiated, shall result in a "W" if processed after the Official Reporting Date (ORD). • Documentation of all drops and withdrawals must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Registrar by the end of business on each deadline date for a "W" to be assigned. • It is the student's responsibility to drop classes and/or withdraw from enrollment by the deadline to receive a "W". After that time, a performance grade will be given in each course in which the student is enrolled (A, B, C, D, F, or IP for certain courses.)
Administrative Withdrawal of a Student Kilgore College reserves the right to withdraw a student from one or more classes if, in the judgment of college officials, such action is deemed to be in the interest of the student and/or the college. Examples of some reasons for administrative withdrawal are failure to pay tuition and fees, failure to provide accurate information or admission credentials, failure to remove "holds" in a timely manner, excessive absences or unacceptable student behavior.
Attendance Policy Kilgore College expects punctuality and regular class attendance. An absence is defined as a student's not being in class for any reason. An instructor may drop students when their lack of attendance prohibits them from meeting the course Student Learning Outcomes or when students accumulate excessive absences. "Excessive absences" is defined as the equivalent of two weeks instruction in a 16-week semester or at least 12.5% of the total hours of instruction in any term. Some workforce programs may have more stringent attendance requirements due to applicable external requirements and/or competencies; therefore, students in workforce programs should check with their instructor regarding the specific number of absences allowed. Students may be dropped for nonattendance per Federal Financial Aid requirements even if the absences constitute less than 12.5% of the course.
Religious Day Absence In accordance with Texas Education Code 51.911, a student may request and be granted an absence from classes on a religious holy day provided the student follows college procedures for seeking such authorization. It is the student’s responsibility to make satisfactory arrangements with instructors prior to the absence via the following procedures which shall govern an absence on a religious holy day: 1. The request must be made of each instructor within the first fifteen days of a long semester or the first week of a summer, mini or flex term to allow adequate time for scheduling make up work and/or in class assignments. The request must be on a form that can be picked up in the Vice President of Student Development’s office, located in the Devall Student Center. 2. With the request for absence, verification must be provided by the appropriate religious leader that the religious institution holds tax exempt status under Section 11.20, U.S. Tax Code, and that the student is considered a member of that institution. 3. Following the absence, the student must provide verification from the appropriate religious leader that the student was in attendance at the religious activity.
Policy on Make Up Work Effective communication between students and their instructor is essential. Students are responsible for initiating any make up work regardless of the cause of the absence. Students absent on official college business are entitled to make up any and all missed work without any penalty attached. However, students should notify their instructors in advance of the absence and should schedule any make-up assignments before the absence. If the student does not submit makeup work by the prearranged time, the student forfeits the right for further make-up of that assignment. For a student whose absence is not official college business, the individual instructor will judge if the student is eligible to make up work. In all cases, the instructor will determine the time for making up work and the nature of the make-up work. Whenever possible, students should discuss their impending absence with the instructor and schedule the make-up work prior to the absence.
Academic Probation and Suspension Students must meet academic standards in work completed at KC. Students who fail to meet those standards are placed on scholastic probation or scholastic suspension. Only grades earned at KC are used to determine probation or suspension status.
Academic Probation A conditional permission for a student to remain in college. That status will be applied to any student who: • has completed at least one semester, and has attempted at least 12 cumulative semester hours and earns less than a 2.0 cumulative grade point average (GPA); • or returns from academic suspension after "stopping out" or not attending for at least one 16- week (long) semester; • or is on academic suspension and attends summer school, earning 6 or more hours with a 1.75 cumulative GPA or a 2.5 summer GPA. A student may remain in school on continued academic probation as long as the cumulative GPA is at least 1.75 or a long semester GPA is at least 2.0. Students on continued academic probation must consult a counselor or faculty advisor before registering for another semester. Students on academic probation or continued academic probation are not allowed to web register. A student is removed from academic probation or continued academic probation when the student earns a 2.0 cumulative GPA or better.
Note: A grade of "I" is calculated as an "F" until the grade is changed to a higher grade.
Scholastic Suspension The loss of the conditional permission of a student on academic probation to remain in college. Academic suspension is for one 16-week semester and occurs when a student on probation fails to earn at least a 1.75 cumulative grade point average (GPA) or a 2.0 GPA in the most recent 16-week semester. A student on academic suspension may: • enroll in the next long semester under conditions prescribed by Counseling/Advising Center Staff in Kilgore or KC-Longview. • or attend summer school. Students earning 6 or more semester hours in the summer with a cumulative GPA of at least 1.75 or a summer GPA of 2.5 will continue on probation.
Readmission Following Scholastic Suspension A student may be readmitted on continued academic probation after one long semester of academic suspension. Students returning from academic suspension must complete a Reactivation form with the Office of Admissions and Registrar. Students must also consult with the Director of Student Success or a designee or the Lead Counselor of KC-Longview or designee before registering for classes. Students on academic suspension are not allowed to web register.
Academic Appeals An appeal involves the student’s formal request for review of a decision made by a college employee. The granting of an appeal is not automatic; instead, appeals are intended to ensure that proper procedures have been followed and all available information has been considered. To fulfill the intent of the Kilgore College appeal process, appeals must have standing to be considered. To have standing, students must demonstrate that either: appropriate policy or procedure was not followed when the decision being appealed was made OR that there is new
information or evidence that was not available for consideration when the decision being appealed was made.
Individuals serving as an appellate officer may: 1. Uphold the original decision. 2. Add to or increase the severity of the sanctions, conditions, and/or restrictions. 3. Modify or cancel the decision or action. 4. Remand the decision or action with appropriate instructions to the previous authority.
Failure to file a written appeal within the stated timeframe will render the original decision final and conclusive.
Academic Complaint Grade Related Under most circumstances, grade changes can be made only by the faculty of record. A student is entitled to a review and explanation of the grading process and the grade received. A grade is the primary prerogative and responsibility of the faculty member and any review as the result of a complaint is intended to ensure accuracy, fairness and adherence to Kilgore College policy. The following steps will be followed in an effort to reconcile a grade dispute:
Individual Assignment Grades 1. The student will discuss an individual assignment grade dispute occurring during the semester with the faculty member involved within three (3) business days after the dispute arises. 2. If the student and faculty member are unable to resolve the dispute, the student may present the case in writing on a student appeal form to the department chair/program director within three working days of the meeting with the faculty member. 3. The department chair will render a decision and respond via email to the student’s official Kilgore College email account within three (3) business days upon receiving the student’s written appeal. 4. If the grade dispute is not resolved, the student may appeal the decision to the appropriate dean by submitting the written appeal form within three (3) business days of the meeting with the department chair. The dean will respond via email to the student’s official Kilgore College email account within three (3) business days upon receiving the student's written appeal. The dean's decision is final and concludes the appeal process.
Semester Grades 1. Should a student desire to protest a semester grade, the student will discuss the dispute with the faculty member involved no later than the end of the sixth week following the first class day of the next long semester. Long semester is defined as the fall and spring semesters; therefore, a student protesting a spring or summer semester grade will have the first 6 weeks of the following fall semester to appeal. 2. If the student and faculty member are unable to resolve the dispute, the student may present the case in writing on a student appeal form to the department chair/program director within three (3) working days of the meeting with the faculty member. 3. The department chair will render a decision and respond via email to the student’s official Kilgore College email account within three (3) business days upon receiving the student’s written appeal. 4. If the grade dispute is not resolved to the student's satisfaction, the student may appeal the decision to the appropriate dean by submitting the written appeal form within three (3) business days of the meeting with the department chair. The dean will respond via
email to the student’s official Kilgore College email account within three (3) business days upon receiving the student's written appeal.
5. In a semester grade dispute, the decision of the dean may be appealed to the Vice President of Instruction by submitting the appeal form to the VPI within three (3) business days upon receiving the dean’s decision. The Vice President of Instruction will notify the student of the decision which is final and concludes the appeal process.
NOTE: In the event that the instructional division dean is the instructor of record, the dispute will proceed to the Vice President of Instruction, following the procedures above. Should the Vice President of Instruction be the instructor of record, the dispute will proceed to the President of the College, following the procedures above.
Academic Complaints Kilgore College is committed to resolving student concerns or dissatisfaction in the most expeditious and informal manner possible. As a result, students are expected to discuss their concerns or questions with the instructor, staff member, or office area in which they are experiencing dissatisfaction. Most issues can be resolved at this level.
For situations that cannot be resolved informally, students have the right to file a formal, written complaint. The KC Student Complaint Policy and Procedures, as approved by the Kilgore College Board of Trustees, is available online at https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-comp-policy. The online student complaint form is available in the KC website at https://www.kilgore.edu/current-students/student-complaint-form.
Financial Aid
The College makes every effort to assist students with documented financial need in locating sources to help with their educational expenses. Financial aid is available for students who, without assistance, would not be able to go to college. The family and student are expected to assume a major responsibility for tuition, fees and living expenses. The role financial aid plays in paying a student's higher education exists only when there is a difference between the student's resources and the cost of education, also known as unmet need.
Students are encouraged to become familiar with the KC Financial Aid Website and Financial Aid Portal at https://accesskcaid.kilgore.edu and also at accessKC (JICS) Portal at https://accesskc.kilgore.edu. All financial aid information concerning required documents, status of award package, payment and aid deadlines, academic progress standing, and student acknowledgement of institutional and federal regulations will be delivered through the above institutional websites.
Financial counseling is offered on an individual basis to students who complete the annual FAFSA application at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Students are encouraged to call for an appointment for assistance with filing the annual FAFSA application. Various requirements for student eligibility for funding are as follows:
All general eligibility criteria for Title IV financial aid, per federal regulations • Application for admission to Kilgore College • Appropriate transcripts and documents as requested • Observance of stated deadlines • Satisfactory Academic Progress as a student in good standing or for continued aid eligibility
The following categories of funds are available for students who qualify:
• Federal Sources of Financial Aid (TITLE IV) o Pell Grant o Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) o William D Ford Federal Direct Loan Program o Federal College Work Study(FWS) o Veterans' Benefits under Chapter 30, 31, 35, 1606, 1607, Tuition Assistance, My CCA and Post 911 Program o Veterans' Work Study Program • State of Texas Financial Aid o Texas Grant o TEOG Grant o Texas Public Education Grant o Hazlewood Exemptions o Texas Work Study Program • Institutional Funds o Departmental/institutional scholarships o Kilgore College Foundation scholarships o Tuition Exemptions • Outside Agency Funds o Miscellaneous agency scholarships and funds
Additional information, applications, and materials are available in the Financial Aid Office located in the Devall Student Center, phone (903) 983-8211 or (903) 983-8210, or at www.kilgore.edu
Financial Aid - Veteran Affairs Benefits Attendance Policy for VA Benefit Eligible Students Students using veterans’ benefits to attend Kilgore College will have attendance monitored until the time the student drops, graduates, or completes the program. Unsatisfactory attendance will be reported to the DVA even if the VA student has completed the required number of hours and no refund is due the student and/or refund sources. Therefore, the attendance policy (20% of the total program and/or being absent five [5] consecutive days) will apply throughout the student’s stay in school. All violations of the attendance policy will be reported to DVA on VA Form 22-1999b within 30 days at such time the student exceeds the allowed number of absences.
For clock hour programs, to prevent overpayment situations, the DVA recommends weekly certification of ACTUAL attendance on a weekly basis.
This signed form is only applicable for accredited and non-accredited non-college degree (NCD) program(s) or for non-accredited NCD program(s) offered at institutions of higher learning (IHL). The policy contained herein establishes the attendance policy for the veteran student(s) when there exists a less stringent policy or when there is no attendance policy defined in the institutions published catalog. I have read, understand, and will comply with this policy for the veteran students certified for GI Bill benefits.
Military Tuition Assistance Refund Procedures Kilgore College has a published refund policy for all students that follows regulations established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for Texas Community Colleges. That policy is published in the appropriate Registration Guide and is as follows:
Long Semester: Refund Percentage Class Days 100% Prior to first Class Day 70% First 15 Class Days 25% 16th through 20th class days 0% After 20th Class day
Refunds related to flex terms, including summer terms, will follow the regular refund schedule printed in the Registration Guide and will be based on number of class days in the course or term. For Students participating in the Military Tuition Assistance Program, refunds for withdrawals before completing 60% of the period of enrollment will be calculated based on a percentage of the calendar days completed divided by the total calendar days in the enrollment period. Students withdrawing after 60% of the semester is completed are not eligible for a refund. Once the refund amount is determined, the difference between the Tuition Assistance that was disbursed and the amount of Tuition Assistance that was earned will be returned to the appropriate military service, and not the student.
Long Semester, Course Specific Tuition Assistance Refund Schedule:
Number of days completed = percent earned X Tuition Assistance Paid Total days of the period (start to end date)
Kilgore College will work with service members that stop attending due to a military service obligation in identifying solutions that will not result in a student debt for the returned portion. Military tuition assistance is awarded based on students completing the entire term for which the assistance was awarded. When a student withdraws, they may no longer be eligible for the full amount. A student must officially drop or withdraw through the Office of Admissions and Registrar. If a student officially withdraws from a course, the date of withdrawal will be used as the last date of attendance. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return 100% of tuition and fees, with the exception of late and matriculation fees. A matriculation fee will be charged for students who enroll in courses and then completely withdraw from those courses for a particular semester. If a student does not officially withdraw, and is determined to have never attended, or for any other unofficial withdrawal, the college will determine the last date of attendance by (1) last date of activity within a course, (2) last date a student made a contribution to the class or
submitted an assignment, and/or (3) based on instructor’s determination of last date of attendance.

Kilgore College Return to Title IV Policy
Kilgore College follows the federal R2T4 policy of returning funds to the appropriate programs as students withdraw during any academic period of enrollment. This policy applies to students who completely withdraw from all classes before the 60% point in the fall, spring, or summer semester.
The following steps are followed in calculating the funds owed back to the Department of Education: • Students who officially withdraw from school in person are directed to the financial aid office for counseling before the R2T4 calculation process is started. • Students who unofficially withdraw are verified to be fully withdrawn from the institution either through communication with the instructor validated by attendance records and drop slips on file with the Registrar. • A weekly report is generated to identify federal financial aid students who have withdrawn from all classes. • Calculations are processed via the federal R2T4 software program to determine the amount of federal aid earned per amounts disbursed (or not disbursed) using the percentage of days attended from the total days in the term. • The calculations to determine the amount of the R2T4 return are done within 5 days of the notification that the student has withdrawn from classes. • The amount of aid which has been earned by the student's days of attendance is
• changed to • show as the amount claimed by Kilgore College in the student account, and the unearned • amount of aid is returned to the DOE as soon as the Origination and Disbursement Records are run on a weekly basis. • The unearned funds are thus returned to the DOE immediately following the R2T4 calculation in the following order: 1. Unsubsidized Direct Loans 2. Subsidized Direct Loans 3. Direct Plus Loans 4. Pell Grant 5. SEOG Grant • The student is notified that due to the withdrawal, he/she now owes Kilgore College for funds that have been returned to the Dept. of Ed. on his/her behalf. The letter to the student explains the reason for the calculation, the formula used to determine the amount owed, the consequences of R2T4, and the payment address the student may use in order to repay the amount owed. • A hold is placed on the student's records and is not removed until the amount owed by the student is repaid. Student may not register, request a transcript, or receive further funds from the institution. • If a FAFSA is received from the processing center showing an overpayment in federal funds for a transferring student, the student is notified that this must be cleared and repaid before any further funds of any kind may be awarded. • The overpayments of funds due to the Dept. of Education from Kilgore College are reported through COD, the Federal Common Origination and Disbursement System, and to NSLDS. • A final SAP report is run after the end of the semester. The R2T4 calculation is done for students who receive all F's or W's, and appropriate actions are taken as necessary. Instructors are contacted to determine the last date of attendance or completion of any activity from the student as related to the course of study. If there is no date available, the date used for the R2T4 is the midpoint date of the semester. • Funds are returned based on the findings of the SAP report in the same manner as those returned throughout each academic semester.
Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Process Appeal Process: • If a student is placed on Suspension, the student can complete and submit a suspension appeal to be reviewed by an Institutional appeals committee. • Students who fail to meet Kilgore College’s Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress standards for two consecutive semesters will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. • If the GPA or Hour completion requirement is not met, supporting documentation of a extenuating or catastrophic event that occurred during the timeframe/semester that the student failed to make Satisfactory Academic Progress, must accompany the appeal form when it is submitted to the Financial Aid Office. If not, it will be denied due to lack of documentation. • For students who are on suspension for Excessive Hours/Maximum timeframe, it
• will be the student's responsibility to obtain a degree evaluation from the Kilgore College Counseling Center to submit with the Appeal Packet. The Appeal Form and Degree evaluation must be submitted together or the appeal will be denied. • If the appeal is reviewed and granted, the student will be required to make an appointment to review and agree to the terms of the Appeal Contract, prior to financial aid being awarded. • It is the student's responsibility to notify the Financial Aid Office if they need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. • The student must strictly adhere to the terms of the Appeal Contract. In the event that the terms of the contract are inadvertently changed, the contract becomes invalid and the student will be placed back on suspension with no opportunity for another appeal.
Examples in which the terms of the contract are inadvertently changed: 1. The student drops or reenrolls in a class that is not a part of their degree plan. 2. The instructor drops the student for non-attendance. 3. The student tests out of the class, which makes it impossible for the student to complete the amount of hours necessary by the terms of the contract. 4. The student does not attend the tutoring lab, as per the terms of their appeal contract. 5. The student earns an F in one of the classes while under contract. 6. The student drops a class while under contract. 7. The student does not maintain a semester GPA of 2.0 while under contract. 8. If there is any possibility that the terms of the appeal contract can or will change, it is the student's responsibility to notify the Director or Assistant Director of Financial Aid immediately. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS!!! Notification must be made within the first two weeks of the enrollment semester. • At any time during the semester in which the appeal is granted, if the terms of the contract change without prior notification or approval by the Financial Aid Office, the student will be placed back on suspension at the end of the semester the appeal was granted. Financial Aid Appeals can only be grantee/ one time throughout the student's enrollment at Kilgore College. • Once the Suspension Appeal Contract has been reviewed and signed, the student will be placed on Financial Aid Probation and the financial aid package will be awarded.
Financial Aid Probation While on Contract - During the probation semester, the student will still be eligible for financial aid, but the following must be completed by the end of that semester to continue to be eligible for financial aid the next semester. All terms agreed to in the Appeal Contract must be completed successfully, the student must have a 2.0 semester GPA, and may not have withdrawn from any classes in which the student was enrolled.
Kilgore College Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy
All categories of student financial aid are measured by academic progress criteria. Federal regulations require that institutions monitor all financial aid recipients to ensure that students are maintaining a minimum standard academic achievement. Academic standards vary between federal, state, and institutional financial aid funds, but all require a minimum number of hours completed with a minimum grade point average. To continue to receive funding from the Federal Student Aid programs (Pell Grants, other Federal grants, and Federal Direct Loans), students must meet the Kilgore College Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy.
Institutional scholarships, State grants, and other non-federal student aid programs have specific academic requirements for each individual program, it is the student's responsibility to read and understand the academic and hourly requirement criteria for each award shown in the student's financial aid award package.
1. Grade Point Average (Qualitative) Standards • Students must maintain a 2.0 Financial Aid cumulative grade point average. (All college level courses combined with any remedial or COLS classes). This does not apply to scholarships. Scholarships carry specific GPA requirements. • Grades of A, B, C, D, F, and I will count toward the Financial Aid Cumulative GPA. • Grades of W and IP will not count toward the Financial Aid Cumulative GPA. • Grades of "IP" are considered as passing grades by Financial Aid. • Remedial course work will be included in the Financial Aid Cumulative GPA. • Academic work will be checked at the end of each semester (Fall, Spring, Summer) and will include all flex and mini semester course work. • Prior periods of enrollment will be evaluated for SAP prior to awarding.
2. Course Hour Completion (Quantitative) Standards • Students must complete 67% of the hours enrolled in to maintain progress. This does not apply to scholarships. Scholarships maintain a specific hourly requirement. • The number of hours in which a student is enrolled on the official census day for each course determines the number of hours needed for completion. • Completion rates will be checked at the end of each semester and will include all remedial, flex and mini semester course work. • Grades of A, B, C, D and F are considered as completed grades, and will be included in the calculation of the number of hours completed. • Grades of W, I, and IP are considered attempted hours and are used for this determination. • Hours which transfer into Kilgore College will be counted toward the student's completion rate.
3. Maximum Time Frame Completion: (Pace) Students enrolled at Kilgore College are expected to work toward a specific degree or certificate and to complete that goal within a certain reasonable timeframe. • All periods of enrollment are counted toward the 150% timeframe, whether or not financial aid paid for those hours. • Students who enroll in courses not included in their declared major course of study or certificate program will not receive financial aid for those courses. • Developmental hours will not count toward the 150% completion rate. • Students who change their program of study may use up eligibility for federal aid prior to completion of their degree or certificate. • A student's attempted credit hours cannot exceed a maximum of 150% of the hours required to complete a declared major course of study, or certificate program. • Once the student has reached or exceeded the 150% timeframe, he/she will be placed on suspension and no longer be eligible for financial aid.
4. Financial Aid Warning • Students who do not meet the Financial Aid Cumulative GPA or hourly requirements will be placed on Financial Aid Warning. The student will be eligible to receive financial aid for the subsequent semester while on Financial Aid Warning status. • Students on Financial Aid Warning may be subject - but not limited to - a combination of the following institutional requirements: • Mandatory counseling sessions with the Financial Aid Retention Counselor • Tutoring logs showing time spent in The Zone or Math/English/Reading Labs • Limited hours of enrollment, based on student's ability to be successful • No access to online registration • No access to self-registration • Specialized academic plan, with emphasis on re-evaluated degree/certificate plan • Signed contract with Retention Counselor • Suggested limit of hours of employment • Repeat of classes with failing academic grades • Any additional requirements deemed necessary for academic completion and student success
5. Financial Aid Suspension • Students who do not meet the Financial Aid Cumulative GPA or Hourly Requirements while on Financial Aid Warning status will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. While on Suspension, a student is no longer eligible to receive federal financial aid. • To reestablish financial aid eligibility, a student must enroll in sufficient hours to raise their cumulative • GPA and completion rate to the minimum standards of the Satisfactory Academic Policy. This may be done with personal funds or other funding provided by the student. After completion, he/she must bring this to the attention of the financial aid office in order to be re-evaluated for federal aid eligibility. • Students on suspension must also submit an appeal form requesting that eligibility be reinstated.
6. Financial Aid Suspension Appeals • Students wishing to appeal their suspension status must complete and submit the following documents: • Financial Aid Suspension Appeal Form and Personalized Academic Worksheet • Official Degree Audit • Typed statement of explanation for the reason of the appeal • Unofficial Kilgore College Transcript • Official documentation of events which prevented academic progress during the semester in which the suspension occurred. • Appeals may be considered by an Appeals Committee, composed of a Student Affairs Staff Member, an Academic Advisor, and a faculty member.
• Appeals that are granted will require an appointment with the Director of Financial Aid or Designee to create a Suspension Success Plan Contract, signed by both the Director and the student. • Students whose appeals are granted will be considered to be on Financial Aid Probation. • The Appeal Success Plan may likely be composed of the same institutional requirements as those described under the Financial Aid Warning (Item #4) plan. • Students must strictly follow the terms of the Appeal Success Plan. If changes are requested, the • Director of Financial Aid or Designee must be consulted prior to the change, or the Plan becomes invalid and the student returns to financial aid suspension.
Examples in which the terms of the contract are inadvertently changed: • The student drops or enrolls in a class that is not a part of their degree plan. • The instructor drops the student for non-attendance. • The student tests out of the class, the class is then dropped. • The student does not attend the tutoring lab, as per the terms of their appeal contract. • The student withdraws from a class.
7. Financial Aid Suspension Appeals Due to Excessive Hours • Students may find themselves on suspension due to exceeding the 150% timeframe regulation. • Students who exceed the 150% limit will be able to submit an Excessive Hour Appeal. • Those students will need to submit a degree audit, showing a limited amount of hours needed to complete a specific program of study. • They will be required to sign an Excessive Hour Contract, which will limit the enrollment to program specific hours, and aid that will pay only for those hours. • Students must have any enrollment change to the Excessive Hour contract approved by the Director of Financial Aid or designee.
8. Financial Aid Suspension Appeals Due to Excessive Hours • Students may find themselves on suspension due to exceeding the 150% timeframe regulation. • Students who exceed the 150% limit will be able to submit an Excessive Hour Appeal. • Those students will need to submit a degree audit, showing a limited amount of hours needed to complete a specific program of study. • They will be required to sign an Excessive Hour Contract, which will limit the enrollment to program specific hours, and aid that will pay for those hours. • Students must have any enrollment change to the Excessive Hour contract approved by the Retention Counselor.
9. Financial Aid Eligibility and Developmental Hour Limits • Students may receive federal aid for a maximum of 30 developmental hours attempted at Kilgore College. After the 30 hour limit has been exceeded, any further developmental hour requirement will not be paid by federal student aid.
• Example: If a student has exceeded the 30 hour limit and enrolls for 12 hours during the semester, for which 9 hours are regular credit hours needed for degree, and 3 hours are a developmental class. Financial aid will pay the eligible amount of 9 hours, but not the total of 12 hours.
10. Transfer Students • Students with no history at KC will be assumed to be making satisfactory academic progress at the time they transfer into Kilgore College. • Hours that transfer into the major course of study will be counted toward the 150% timeframe eligibility regulation, along with any hours of enrollment at Kilgore College. • Transferring students need to be aware that the federal regulations concerning the Pell LEU and Loan Aggregate Limits still apply to any award package at KC. • lf the college transcript(s) are not on file with the KC Registrar's Office, the student will be considered as a first year student for loan purposes. • Hours that are accepted and transferred into Kilgore College will be counted in the completion rate.
11. Miscellaneous Information • Financial aid funds will pay to repeat a class if the student originally received a grade of F, I or W, or if the program requires a grade of C or higher. Once the student receives a passing grade, but desires to repeat the course, he will need to pay with personal funds. • Federal student aid will also pay the Excessive Developmental Charge for developmental courses as needed, but only up to the 30 hour developmental limit.
12. Scholarships and Academic Progress • Most scholarship and non-federal aid funds carry specific academic and enrollment requirements for renewed funding to a student account. • Students receiving institutional, departmental, or state funds should check with the Scholarship Coordinator in regard to Letters of Agreement, showing the terms of scholarship eligibility. • Scholarship eligibility is evaluated at the end of each long semester (Fall, Spring, Summer), after which students who have lost eligibility will receive a notification advising of this status. • Scholarships do not have a Warning or Probation Status - (similar to federal student aid funds). Students who do not achieve the academic or enrollment criteria for renewal will not be awarded those funds for the subsequent semester (even if the Letter of Agreement shows the scholarship is awarded for one academic year.) • Certain scholarships which are considered to be "performance based" will carry different terms for renewal.
Student Affairs
Conduct and Discipline The Executive Vice President and Chief Student Affairs Officer is responsible for implementing student disciplinary procedures provided in the College’s Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Code of Conduct Policy. This policy states, “Kilgore College reserves the right to maintain a safe and orderly educational environment for students and staff. Therefore, when a student's behavior disrupts or threatens to disrupt the College community, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. The purpose of this code is not to restrict student rights but to protect the rights of individuals in their academic pursuits.”
Students at Kilgore College are considered to be mature adults who enter classes voluntarily. By entering classes, students take upon themselves certain responsibilities and obligations that include an honest attempt at academic performance and social behavior consistent with the lawful purpose of the College. Students maintain all legal rights of citizenship while enrolled and are expected to remember that they are living in a democratic situation. The reputation of the College rests upon the shoulders of students as well as on the administration, staff, and faculty; and it is hoped that each student will maintain high standards of citizenship. The campus and College will not be a place of refuge or sanctuary for illegal or irresponsible behavior. Students, as all citizens, are subject to civil authority on and off the campus. Common courtesy and cooperation make the above suffice for a long list of rules and regulations.
The KC Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Code of Conduct Policy and Procedures are available on the College Policy and Procedures webpage, https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-comp-policy.
Complaints and Grievances Student Complaints The College’s Student Complaint Policy states, “Kilgore College is committed to resolving student concerns or complaints in the most expeditious and informal manner possible.

To file a complaint with THECB, one must complete the Student Complaint and Release Forms and the Authorization to Disclose Medical Record Information (required if a disability is alleged). These forms must be sent either by electronic mail to [email protected] or by mail to: Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, Office of General Counsel, P.O. Box 12788, Austin, Texas 78711-2788.

In most cases, the SACSCOC complaint procedures require the student to exhaust all institutional complaint avenues before a complaint can be filed at the accrediting agency level. Kilgore College students are advised to first attempt to resolve complaints with KC administration.
Grievances Concerning Discrimination and/or Harassment The College’s Nondiscrimination and Student Grievance Policy states, “Kilgore College prohibits discrimination, including harassment, against any student on the basis of sex, race, color, religion, age, national origin, disability, veteran’s status, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by institutional policy or local, state, or federal law. The institution is committed to promptly responding to and resolving concerns involving
allegations of illegal discrimination, including illegal harassment, in violation of local, state and/or federal civil rights laws and/or regulations.” The KC Nondiscrimination Policy and Procedures are available on the College Policy and Procedures webpage, https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-comp-policy.
The grievance process involves an immediate initial investigation to determine if there is reasonable cause to believe the nondiscrimination policy has been violated. If so, the College will initiate a prompt, thorough, and impartial investigation, or facilitate an informal resolution. This investigation is designed to provide a fair and reliable determination about whether the College’s nondiscrimination policy has been violated. If so, the College will implement a prompt and effective remedy designed to end the discrimination, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects.
Students who wish to report a concern or file a grievance relating to discrimination or harassment may do so by reporting the concern to the college Title IX Coordinator:

ID Card Information Student ID cards are available from the KCPD offices, in Kilgore and Longview. It is mandatory that all Kilgore College students obtain one of the two types of student identification cards that are available. For identification purposes, the student identification card is to be carried at all times while on campus and presented upon request to campus police officers or college officials. For entry into the housing facilities after regular hours, you must present your student identification card to housing officials. Additionally, it will give you access to a variety of college activities. The student identification card entitles you to free or discounted athletic events, Student Activity entertainment, Enrichment Series programs, the Fitness Center and the health services provided by the college. The student identification card is required at the Library when checking out books, at the various study and learning labs on campus, and at the Business Office when cashing a check. The ID card may also be required when requesting transcripts from the Registrar’s Office and is used as a meal card for residence hall students. Students must retain their identification card from semester to semester. There is a $25 fee to replace a student identification card.
Kilgore College offers two types of identification cards – a Ranger Card or an ID Badge. The Ranger Card is a MasterCard Debit Student ID which allows free access to Herring Bank ATMs and no-fee purchases at merchant locations both on and off campus that accept MasterCard or pin-based transactions. If a student choses, funds from their financial aid can be placed directly onto this card. If you lose your Ranger Card, contact Herring Bank Customer Service Center immediately at 1-866-348-3435.
The ID Badge does not have the MasterCard Debit capability. It is used for identification purposes, meal plans, and textbook purchases at the KC Bookstore. If a student does not receive financial aid or choses to have their financial aid direct deposited into a bank other than Herring Bank, the student would receive an ID Badge.

Students Rights and Responsibilities Students at Kilgore College are considered to be mature adults who enter classes voluntarily. By entering classes, students take upon themselves certain responsibilities and obligations that include an honest attempt at academic performance and social behavior consistent with the lawful purpose of the College. Students maintain all legal rights of citizenship while enrolled and are expected to remember that they are living in a democratic situation. The reputation of the College rests upon the shoulders of students as well as on the administration, staff, and faculty; and it is hoped that each student will maintain high standards of citizenship. The campus and College will not be a place of refuge or sanctuary for illegal or irresponsible behavior. Students, as all citizens, are subject to civil authority on and off the campus. Common courtesy and cooperation make the above suffice for a long list of rules and regulations.
AIDS Information Kilgore College wishes to inform you that this institution is in compliance with Public Law 101-226, Drug-Free Schools and Community Acts Amendments of 1989 and Omnibus AIDS Bill, SB 959, which requires us to inform students and employees of information relating to the transmission and prevention of HIV and AIDS infection. This information is available in the college nurse’s office, located in the Parks Fitness Center. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has produced a nation-wide health crisis. First diagnosed in the United States in 1981, it has now become the number one priority of the U.S. Public Health Service. It is prudent to expect that at some time this college community will encounter the presence of AIDS, either in employees or students. The transmission of the AIDS virus normally requires the exchange of body fluids, such as that which occurs in intimate sexual relationships or an exposure to blood or blood product from an infected person. The purpose of the Kilgore College AIDS guidelines is to prevent the spread of the AIDS virus, to protect the rights of persons with AIDS virus infections, and to create an informed and supportive campus community. These guidelines are based on information obtained from several sources, including the American College Health Association, the American Council on Education and the Center for Disease Control. The guidelines are based on current knowledge and are expected to provide direction for dealing with AIDS-related issues. The policy intends that College officials will analyze individual circumstances and will respond to persons with AIDS or AIDS-related conditions on an individual basis. Responding to each case as required by its particular facts rather than developing a “blanket policy” is in the interest of flexibility, sensitivity, simplicity, and the balancing of legitimate interests. Guidelines 1. Students and employees with AIDS, AIDS-related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test should be afforded normal classroom attendance, working conditions, and participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities in an unrestricted manner as long as they are physically and psychologically able to do so. 2. Kilgore College will provide reasonable accommodations to employees and students with AIDS and related illnesses in a manner consistent with those provided for other medical problems. 3. Consideration of the existence of AIDS, AIDS-related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test will not be part of the admission decision for prospective students. 4. In accordance with existing college procedures and requirements, a student’s medical record is confidential information which will not be released without the individual’s permission except as otherwise provided by law. 5. Students with AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test should be given assistance, consistent with other illnesses, in obtaining appropriate medical care, education, and accommodations. 6. There will be no restriction of access for persons with HIV infection to residence halls; the library; student union; social, cultural and athletic events; dining areas; gymnasiums; swimming pools; recreational facilities; and other common areas unless or until health offices or those with medical authority recommend that individuals with immune deficiencies be assigned to other areas to protect the health of immune deficient individuals. 7. Kilgore College faculty and staff will take steps to ensure the safety of individuals participating in laboratory experiments involving blood, blood products and body fluids. 8. If an employee or student has concerns about the presence of a person with the AIDS virus, that individual should be directed to a knowledgeable counselor or administrator to
help allay fears. Appropriate educational programs and/or counseling services will be provided on campus, or referral should be made to appropriate community agencies for those persons with continuing fears or concerns about the disease. Reasonable accommodations, if feasible, will be made for those whose fears persist. 9. Regular medical follow-ups should be required for those who have AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test. Special provisions to protect the health of persons with the AIDS virus should be considered during periods of the prevalence of such contagious diseases as measles, rubella and chicken pox. 10. College administrators who are familiar with the sources for testing for AIDS, AIDS- Related Complex, or the HTLV-III antibody test should refer persons requesting such testing to appropriate community agencies. 11. Persons with AIDS, or testing positively with the HTLV-III antibody test, may be restricted from any campus work or participation in educational activities or programs which pose threats of contagion to others according to competent medical authorities. Medical guidelines will be followed as these emerge in regard to food preparation, admission and retention in the nursing program, or other activities known to represent a danger of contagion. 12. An institutional committee of administrators and faculty will evaluate this policy on a continuing basis as prescribed by law.
These guidelines are based on current epidemiological data pertaining to students or employees with AIDS, AIDS-Related Complex, or a positive HTLV-III antibody test. The college will update its policies and guidelines as additional, authoritative information becomes available. More information is available in the Infectious/Communicable Disease Policy on the KC website, https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#infectious- disease-policy. .
Alcohol and Drug Policies Alcohol Policy Absolutely no alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating substances may be possessed by students at Kilgore College nor are they allowed at any student related function sponsored by the college. Students found drinking or in possession of alcoholic beverages or other intoxicating substances will be reported to Campus Police immediately and will face disciplinary action from the college, as well as any penalties issued in accordance with Texas State Law. Texas Alcoholic Beverage Codes 106.4 and 106.5 prohibit consumption or possession of alcohol by a minor. Penalties for violation or either of these codes on the Kilgore College Campus could result in arrest and an appearance in Municipal Court with a fine. It is the responsibility of the college to maintain an environment which is conducive to teaching and learning and to personal and professional growth. Since irresponsible use of alcohol, intoxicating substances and drugs are detrimental to the maintenance of an educational environment, it is the intent of the college and its Board of Trustees to establish practices and procedures which discourage using alcohol, intoxicating substances, and/or drugs and ensure compliance with local, state and federal laws by all students on college property or facilities or property under control or jurisdiction of the college. Administrative officials have developed and implemented, in accordance with Board Policy, administrative guidelines and local, state
and federal law (with education as the means of prevention), an on-going alcohol/drug awareness and prevention program for students and employees of Kilgore College. Drug Policy Use of illegal drugs, controlled substances without a valid prescription, and/or use of synthetic drugs such as K-2, bath salts, etc. are prohibited. Violations include, but are not limited to, possession of illegal drugs or controlled substances without a valid prescription; possession of paraphernalia; and/or use of illegal drugs or controlled substances without a valid prescription, as evidenced by drug testing results. Students are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of Kilgore College and Federal and State Laws regarding the use, sale and distribution of alcohol, controlled substances and synthetic drugs.
Drug and Alcohol Abuse In compliance with the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (P.L. 101-226), Kilgore College endeavors to provide an environment for students that is free from illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol or other intoxicating substances. Accordingly, the college provides information through the Vice President of Student Development Office and through the college Nurse’s Office. Also, see the Code of Student Conduct for penalties regarding these offenses. There are state and federal laws which also apply to the unlawful possession, use or distribution of alcohol, inhalants or illegal drugs. The fines can range from not less than $25.00 to imprisonment for life and a fine of up to $250,000. The health risks of using illegal drugs or inhalants may cause a person to become chemically and psychologically dependent, alter the mechanisms of their body, loss of contact with reality and ultimately, death. Drug and Alcohol Education Programs and Services Kilgore College provides multiple educational and support opportunities for students regarding alcohol and drug abuse. Information regarding education programs is available in the Vice President of Student Development’s office. Additionally, students are encouraged to visit campus counselors or the campus nurse should they need information, support or referrals to appropriate services. Drug and alcohol education programs are provided throughout the semester by various departments. Student Life typically sponsors an awareness campaign (such as the Kramer Save a Life tour) prior to Spring Break. The KCPD offers outreach and educational information throughout the semester. Additionally, educational courses and support are available through the East Texas Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (ETCADA). For more information, visit http://www.etcada.com/.

Copyright Laws Copyright is a form of protection grounded in the U.S. Constitution and granted by law for original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression. Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture. Copyright covers both published and unpublished works. (U.S. Copyright Office)
Unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material and unauthorized peer-to-peer sharing may be subject to college disciplinary sanctions as well as civil and criminal liabilities. Students are expected to abide by U.S. copyright laws. The Director of Watson Library is the college’s designated copyright officer and is available to address questions pertaining to copyright issues. Penalties for Violation of Copyright Laws, Including Illegal Peer-To-Peer File Sharing Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Kilgore College reserves the right to terminate computing services of users who repeatedly infringe upon the rights of copyright owners. Kilgore College takes copyright law very seriously and prohibits unauthorized duplication and distribution of copyrighted materials, including copyrighted music and video. Sanctions for violations of these policies include: • formal warning/written reprimand • loss of computing privileges • fines • dismissal from the College • criminal or civil action
KC also employs a number of technical and procedural measures to prevent illegal downloading and distribution of copyrighted materials.
Correct Address It is the responsibility of the student to provide correct permanent and local mailing address information at all times and on all documents at the college. Failure to do so constitutes falsification of information, a breach of the Code of Student Conduct. Any student who changes his/her mailing address must notify the Registrar’s Office immediately.
Directory Information The federal Family Educational Right and Privacy Act of 1974 protects the privacy of educational records, establishes the right of students to inspect or review their educational
records, and provides guidelines for the correction of inaccurate or misleading data. In compliance with this act, the college may release to the general public directory information without the written consent of the student. The Kilgore College Student Records and Privacy Rights Policy and Procedures define what is considered directory information. This policy and the accompanying procedures are available on the KC website at: https://www.kilgore.edu/about/human-resources/policy-and-procedures#stu-records-privacy- rights.
Disrupting School Activities It is unlawful for any person, on school property or on public property within five hundred feet of school property, alone or in concert with others, willfully to disrupt the conduct of classes or other school activities. In so doing, the person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine or by confinement for not less than 10 days or more than six months or both.
Conduct that disrupts the educational activities of a school includes emission by any means of noise of an intensity which prevents or hinders classroom instruction and enticement or attempted enticement of students away from classes or other school activities which students are required to attend. (Texas House Bill # 186, 62 Legislature, Regular Session, 1971). The State law prohibiting disruptive activities defines “disruptive activity” as meaning: 1. Obstructing or restraining the passage of persons in an exit, entrance, or hallway of any building without the authorization of the administration of the school. 2. Seizing control of any building or portion of a building for the purpose of interfering with any administrative, education, research, or other authorized activity. 3. Preventing or attempting to prevent by force or violence or the threat of force or violence any lawful assembly authorized by the school administration. 4. Disrupting by force or violence or the threat of force of violence any lawful assembly in progress; or 5. Obstructing or restraining the passage of any person at an exit or entrance to said campus or property or preventing or attempting to prevent by force or violence or by threats thereof the ingress or egress of any person to or from said property or campus without the authorization of the administration of the school.
The law further states that a “lawful assembly is disrupted when any person in attendance is rendered incapable of participating in the assembly due to the use of force or violence or due to a reasonable fear that force or violence is likely to occur.”
Diversity Statement Consistent with a commitment to a stated policy of non-discrimination, the college provides residence hall facilities and food services without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status or genetic data.
Residence halls are specifically designated, however, for male or female occupancy. The college provides facilities without discrimination on the basis of disability although not all residence halls and buildings have been modified to provide barrier-free access to students in
wheelchairs. Considerable progress has been made, however, and continues to be made in providing a campus that is virtually barrier free.

Hazardous chemicals or flammable liquids are also prohibited. The sale, use, or possession of fireworks or explosives is also prohibited. Any illegal firearms, explosives or weapons found in a student’s possession will be confiscated by the college police. It is unlawful to interfere with the normal activities, the normal occupancy, or normal use of any building or portion of the college campus by exhibiting, using or threatening to exhibit or
use a firearm or weapon. Possession of illegal weapons or explosives may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension.

Guests in Class Visitors should not be allowed in class on a continuing basis unless they are on the class roll as a registered student or registered as an audit student. Certain exceptions are listed below: 1. Persons who are assigned to a student by the Counselor of Special Populations for the purpose of providing education services for that student in the classroom 2. A duly registered student who withdraws from the course but is granted permission by the instructor to continue attending per the student’s request 3. Persons who have received written permission from the appropriate dean for extenuating circumstances
Instructors are responsible for providing a quality instructional environment that facilitates the best possible education for students. Faculty members should generally not allow a student’s guests or family members to visit classes. Instructors may, at their discretion, allow a child of a student to attend class for one meeting if, in the instructor’s opinion, circumstances warrant such a decision. However, a child should not be allowed to attend on a continuing basis. If children are present for scheduled learning activities, the parent or guardian remains responsible for the wellbeing of the child. Children should not be left unattended or unsupervised on campus. Hazing The Texas Legislature has enacted a law prohibiting hazing by a person(s) against a student(s) at an educational institution. The law also prohibits the knowing, intentional or reckless failure to report hazing to school authorities. Failure to comply with the specific provisions of the law will result in criminal penalties and fines. A copy of the law in its entirety is available in the Office of the Vice President of Student Development. The following is a brief summary of the law: A person commits an offense under the hazing law if that person: 1. engages in hazing; 2. solicits, encourages, directs, aids, or attempts to aid another person engaging in hazing; 3. intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly permits hazing to occur; or 4. has firsthand knowledge of the planning of a specific hazing incident which has occurred, and knowingly fails to report said knowledge in writing to the Vice President of Student Development.
Hazing means any intentional, knowing or reckless act occurring on or off campus, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating, holding an office in, or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are or include students at an educational institution. Hazing includes, but is not limited to, any type of physical brutality, physical activity that subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or that adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student (i.e. sleep deprivation, exposure to the elements, calisthenics), activity involving consumption of food, liquid, alcoholic beverages, drugs, or other substances which subjects the student to an unreasonable risk of harm or which adversely affects the mental or physical health or safety of the student, activity that intimidates or threatens the student with ostracism, and activity that subjects the student to extreme mental stress, shame or humiliation, or that adversely affects the mental health or dignity of the student. The aforementioned activities are exemplary of specific hazing offenses only. Any type of activity which falls within the general definition of hazing is prohibited under the hazing law. Consent of the individual subjected to the hazing is not a defense to prosecution of an offense under the hazing law. Organizations which are covered under this law include fraternity, sorority, association, corporation, order, society, chorus, cooperative, club, or service, social or similar group whose numbers are primarily students at an educational institution. A 'student' includes an individual registered or in attendance at an educational institution, an individual accepted for admission at an educational institution, or an individual who is on vacation from an educational institution and intends to attend that institution during any of its regular sessions after that period of vacation. Specific penalties which may be imposed against an individual or organization guilty of an offense under the hazing law include the imposition of fines ranging between $5,000 and $10,000 and/or confinement in the county jail for a period of time ranging between 90 days and two years. The specific penalty imposed for hazing offense depends on the seriousness of the offense and whether or not bodily injury or death to an individual resulted from the hazing incident. If an individual reports an offense of hazing to the Vice President of Student Development, that individual is immune from liability, civil or criminal, that might otherwise be incurred or imposed as a result of the report. However, a person reporting in bad faith or with malice is not so protected.

Refund Policy In order to receive a refund of tuition and fees, a student must officially drop or withdraw through the Office of Admissions and Registrar. The student is personally responsible for dropping a class and/or withdrawing from enrollment. The college will refund tuition and fees for courses dropped or for withdrawal from school within the timetable published in the online Registration Guide. Refunds will be issued in the same semester as the withdrawal. If a scheduled course fails to materialize, the college will return 100% of tuition and fees, with the exception of late fees, matriculation fees, and reinstatement fees. A matriculation fee will be charged for students who enroll in courses and then completely withdraw from those courses for a particular semester. The college will not issue a refund to a student who does not have a clear financial record with the college.
See the current online Registration Guide for actual dates of check disbursements.
Note: Class day is defined as the day the semester or session is designated to begin and each school day thereafter. The timetable shown in the online Registration Guide applies to all refunds, including refunds to early-registered students who withdraw before classes start. No refunds will be made earlier than this schedule.
Residential Life Kilgore College maintains three residence halls with space for approximately 500 full-time students. Assignments are typically two persons per room in both men’s and women’s housing.

Sexual Assault Information If you have been sexually assaulted by another student or group of students and are considering College action, you are encouraged to discuss the matter with the VP of Student Development or the KC Chief of Police. This will allow you a chance to review the procedures should you decide to file a formal grievance through the College’s disciplinary system. This discussion does not obligate you to pursue official action; however, the Vice President or KC Chief of Police may be obligated to pursue an investigation and implement remedial actions to provide for the safety of the campus community. Charges may either be filed directly by you or by KC on the basis of your written statement. Such a charge would be handled in accordance with the procedures relating to violations of the KC Code of Student Conduct regulations. Individuals could be subject to disciplinary action pending review by KC. Those students found responsible for violating the Code in this way could be suspended or expelled.
Pursuant to KC disciplinary procedures, both the accuser and the accused are entitled to have an advisor or support person present during any meetings or hearings. Please note, witnesses to the incident may not be an advisor in this process. Students who allege sexual assault by another student may request a change in their academic and living situations on campus after the alleged incident takes place if such changes are reasonably available. Finally, in accordance with federal regulations, both the accuser and the accused will be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceeding alleging sexual assault. Sexual Misconduct/Harassment Statement. Introduction Members of the Kilgore College community, guests and visitors have the right to be free from sexual violence. All members of the campus community are expected to conduct themselves in a manner that does not infringe upon the rights of others. The College believes in a zero tolerance policy for gender-based misconduct. When an allegation of misconduct is brought to an appropriate administrator’s attention, and a respondent is found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated. This policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for those individuals whose rights have been violated. This policy is intended to define community
expectations and to establish a mechanism for determining when those expectations have been violated. The college reserves the right to take whatever measures it deems necessary in response to an allegation of sexual misconduct in order to protect students’ rights and personal safety. Such measures include, but are not limited to, modification of living arrangements, interim suspension from campus pending a hearing, and reporting the matter to the local police. Not all forms of sexual misconduct will be deemed to be equally serious offenses, and the college reserves the right to impose different sanctions, ranging from verbal warning to expulsion, depending on the severity of the offense. The college will consider the concerns and rights of both the complainant and the person accused of sexual misconduct. Sexual Misconduct Offenses Sexual misconduct offenses include, but are not limited to: 1. Sexual Harassment 2. Non-Consensual Sexual Contact (or attempts to commit same) 3. Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse (or attempts to commit same) 4. Sexual Exploitation
1. Sexual Harassment Sexual Harassment is unwelcome, gender-based verbal or physical conduct that is, sufficiently severe, persistent or pervasive that it, has the effect of unreasonably interfering with, denying or limiting someone’s ability to participate in or benefit from the college’s educational program and/or activities, and is based on power differentials (quid pro quo), the creation of a hostile environment, or retaliation. Examples include: an attempt to coerce an unwilling person into a sexual relationship; to repeatedly subject a person to egregious, unwelcome sexual attention; to punish a refusal to comply with a sexual based request; to condition a benefit on submitting to sexual advances; sexual violence; intimate partner violence, stalking; gender-based bullying. 2. Non-Consensual Sexual Contact Non-Consensual Sexual Contact is any intentional sexual touching, however slight, with any object, by a man or a woman upon a man or a woman, which is without consent and/or by force. Sexual Contact includes: intentional contact with the breasts, buttock, groin, or genitals, or touching another with any of these body parts, or making another touch you or themselves with or on any of these body parts; any intentional bodily contact in a sexual manner, though not involving contact with/of/by breasts, buttocks, groin, genitals, mouth or other orifice. 3. Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse is any sexual intercourse however slight, with any object, by a man or woman upon a man or a woman, which is without consent and/or by force. Intercourse includes: vaginal penetration by a penis, object, tongue or finger; anal penetration by a penis, object, tongue, or finger; and oral copulation (mouth to genital contact or genital to mouth contact), no matter how slight the penetration or contact.
4. Sexual Exploitation Occurs when a student takes non-consensual or abusive sexual advantage of another for his/her own advantage or benefit, or to benefit or advantage anyone other than the one being exploited, and that behavior does not otherwise constitute one of other sexual misconduct offenses. Examples of sexual exploitation include, but are not limited to: invasion of sexual privacy; prostituting another student; non-consensual video or audio-taping of sexual activity; going beyond the boundaries of consent (such as letting your friends hide in the closet to watch you having consensual sex); engaging in voyeurism; knowingly transmitting an STI or HIV to another student; exposing one’s genitals in non-consensual circumstances; inducing another to expose their genitals; sexually-based stalking and/or bullying may also be forms of sexual exploitation. Additional Applicable Definitions 1. Consent Consent is clear, knowing and voluntary. Consent is active, not passive. Silence, in and of itself, cannot be interpreted as consent. Consent can be given by words or actions, as long as those words or actions create mutually understandable clear permission regarding willingness to engage in (and the conditions of) sexual activity. • Consent to any one form of sexual activity cannot automatically imply consent to any other forms of sexual activity. • Previous relationships or prior consent cannot imply consent to future sexual acts. • In order to give effective consent, one must be of legal age.
2. Force Force is the use of physical violence and/or imposing on someone physically to gain sexual access. Force also includes threats, intimidation (implied threats) and coercion that overcome resistance or produce consent (“Have sex with me or I’ll hit you. Okay, don’t hit me, I’ll do what you want.”).
3. Coercion Coercion is unreasonable pressure for sexual activity. Coercive behavior differs from seductive behavior based on the type of pressure someone uses to get consent from another. When someone makes clear to you that they do not want sex, that they want to stop, or that they do not want to go past a certain point of sexual interaction, continued pressure beyond that point can be coercive. 4. Incapacitation Incapacitation is a state where someone cannot make rational, reasonable decisions because they lack the capacity to give knowing consent (e.g., to understand the “who, what, when, where, why or how” of their sexual interaction).
• Sexual activity with someone who one should know to be -- or based on the circumstances should reasonably have known to be -- mentally or physically incapacitated (by alcohol or other drug use, unconsciousness or blackout), constitutes a violation of this policy.
• This policy also covers a person whose incapacity results from mental disability, sleep, involuntary physical restraint, or from the taking of rape drugs. Possession, use and/or distribution of any of these substances, including Rohypnol, Ketomine, GHB, Burundanga, etc. is prohibited, and administering one of these drugs to another student is a violation of this policy. More information on these drugs can be found at http://www.911rape.org/ • Use of alcohol or other drugs will never function as a defense to a violation of this policy.
NOTE: There is no requirement that a party resists the sexual advance or request, but resistance is a clear demonstration of non-consent. The presence of force is not demonstrated by the absence of resistance. Sexual activity that is forced is by definition non-consensual, but non-consensual sexual activity is not by definition forced. Sanction Statement 1. Any student found responsible for violating the policy on Non-Consensual or Forced Sexual Contact (where no intercourse has occurred) will likely receive a sanction ranging from probation to expulsion, depending on the severity of the incident, and taking into account any previous campus conduct code violations. 2. Any student found responsible for violating the policy on Non-Consensual or Forced Sexual Intercourse will likely face a recommended sanction of suspension or expulsion. 3. Any student found responsible for violating the policy on sexual exploitation or sexual harassment will likely receive a recommended sanction ranging from warning to expulsion, depending on the severity of the incident, and taking into account any previous campus conduct code violations.
Reporting Allegations of Sexual Misconduct For more information or to file a grievance or report of sexual misconduct, please see the “Student Complaint and Grievance Procedures” herein or visit or call the Director of Human Resources/Title IX Administrator in the McLaurin Administration building, (903) 983-8102.

Student Organizations Kilgore College recognizes the right of any group of students, faculty or staff members to form a voluntary organization for the purposes not forbidden by the laws of the United States or the State of Texas.

Graduation KC offers four associate degrees: the Associate of Arts, the Associate of Arts in Teaching, the Associate of Science, and the Associate of Applied Science. In addition KC offers a Certificate of Completion for completion of prescribed occupational programs. Additional information about degrees or certificates of completion is available from the Counseling Center on the Kilgore main campus (903) 983-8206 or the counselor at KC - Longview (903) 753-2642 and (903) 983-8281 .
Catalog Designation Students have the option of meeting graduation requirements of the current KC catalog or those requirements outlined in the KC catalog under which they entered the college (if continuously enrolled). A lapse of two long semesters dictates usage of the current catalog.
Planning To ensure that the student is meeting all requirements for graduation, the student should consult a counselor early in the student's college career. Final responsibility for meeting all requirements for graduation rests with the student.
Requirements For Associate of Arts, the Associate of Arts in Teaching, and the Associate of Science degrees, requirements for graduation consist of (l) General Requirements for Graduation, (2) Core Curriculum Requirement and elective requirements for Graduation. The Associate of Applied Science degree and Certificates of Completion are awarded in Workforce Education programs and the graduation requirements are listed under the individual course of study for those programs.
Computer Competency Requirement Computer competency is defined as the demonstrated ability to use information technology. It includes the ability to use computer applications in education and in the workplace as well as the ability to use the Internet and other information technology resources safely.
Associate of Science, Associate of Arts, and Associate of Arts in Teaching students at Kilgore College must demonstrate computer competency in one of two ways:
1. Pass BCIS 1305. 2. Achieve a score of 70 or higher on the KC Computer Competency Test. The test consists of both computer concepts and application usage.
The computer competency requirement should be completed no later than the completion of 24 semester credit hours.
More information about preparing for and taking the Computer Competency Test is available at www.kilgore.edu.
Transfer of Credit to KC for Graduation Students who did not complete graduation requirements while enrolled at Kilgore College may elect to take their remaining courses at another college for transfer back to KC in order to receive a degree. A minimum of 25% of the degree requirements must be completed at Kilgore College. Students who were not enrolled at KC during the preceding academic year
must meet current graduation requirements (even if different from the graduation requirements that were in place during the student's attendance at KC). Students should contact the Counseling Center prior to registering for courses at another college to determine which courses remain for completion of degree requirements. Students should also contact the KC Office of Admissions and Registrar to make sure that the courses will be accepted in transfer. An official transcript must be sent directly from the other college to the KC Registrar's Office once the transfer work is completed. It is recommended that students apply for graduation during the semester in which they are completing the required courses. (See deadlines in "Application for Graduation" section).
General Requirements for Graduation The following are the general requirements for graduation: 1. Earn a minimum of 60 semester hours for an associate of arts or associate of science degree, 60 semester hours for the associate of arts in teaching degree or earn the required number of semester hours for an associate of applied science or a certificate of completion unless otherwise noted in the degree plan total hours. 2. Complete all course requirements for the degree or certificate sought 3. Complete Computer Competency Requirement. (AA, AAT, and AS students) 4. Earn an overall or cumulative GPA (grade point average) of 2.0 in all courses attempted 5. Return all properties of the college and satisfactorily settle all financial obligations to the college 6. Complete at least 25% of semester hours from the degree sought at Kilgore College 7. Satisfy all requirements of the Texas Success Initiative unless exemption or waiver status applies. 8. Submit graduation application by deadline in college catalog.
Application for Graduation Degrees and certificates are not awarded automatically. To be considered a candidate for a degree or certificate, the student must submit an application for graduation through on the KC website.
Applications are available during the dates listed below and must be submitted on or before the following dates: Fall Semester (December) Graduate August 15 - October 1 Spring Semester (May) Graduate January 15- March 1 Summer I Semester (July) Graduate May 1 - June 15 Summer II Semester (August) Graduate May 1 -July 15 Degrees and certificates will be officially conferred when the Office of Admissions and Registrar certifies that all graduation requirements have been met. In order for transfer courses to be used toward graduation, an official transcript must be on file in the Office of Admissions and Registrar. A student does not have to be enrolled in KC courses during the semester that he or she makes application. If graduation requirements were completed during a prior semester, the degree or certificate will be posted to the transcript at the end of the semester in which the application for graduation is submitted (if received by above deadline).
Commencement Ceremonies Commencement Ceremonies. KC has formal graduation exercises in December, May and August. It is generally expected that graduates will participate in the ceremony at the end of the semester in which degree requirements are completed (Summer I graduates participate in the August ceremony). Participation in the ceremony prior to completing degree requirements must be recommended by the dean of the division and approved by the registrar. Participation is ceremonial only and does not confer on a student any rights to a degree or certificate. The transcript is the official document that verifies graduation status. Transcripts may be obtained from the Office of Admissions and Registrar. All diplomas are mailed no later than 4-6 weeks after the end of the semester. For additional information, contact the Office of Admissions and Registrar at (903) 983-8606.

Certificate of Completion KC offers certificates designed to meet specific needs of the community. Upon completion of a prescribed course of study with at least a 2.0 grade point average (GPA), the student receives a Certificate of Completion. Please refer to individual degree plans for specific certificate requirements.
Academic Fields of Study
Community colleges do not require students to declare "majors", but there are suggested courses to take in preparation for a major. Students are encouraged to work closely with college counselors or advisors in choosing the proper courses in line with both their desired major and the senior institution to which they wish to transfer.
Senate Bill 148 of the 75th Texas Legislature (1997) and the subsequent legislation mandate field of study curricula. A field of study curriculum, in conjunction with the core curriculum, is intended to facilitate transferability of courses among Texas public colleges and universities. All public 4-year institutions are required to accept Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) approved field of study courses in fulfillment of lower division requirements for bachelor's degrees in majors that correspond to that field of study.
In some disciplines, the student may take certain additional courses that, along with the core curriculum and field of study curriculum, will result in an associate of arts degree in that discipline. These are listed adjacent to their corresponding field of study curriculum.
Field of Study Transfer Curriculum for BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
This curriculum leads to an Associate of Arts degree requiring 60 SCH with a Field of Study in Business Administration. The program is designed to prepare the student to continue toward a Bachelor of Business Administration degree with major fields in a variety of areas including Accounting, Finance, Marketing, Management, & Management Information Systems. This plan assumes the student has completed any developmental work required. The student must review individual course prerequisites, if developmental work is required.

Field of Study Transfer Curriculum for NURSING The following annotated set of courses, totaling 28 semester credit hours (SCH) of fully transferable and applicable lower-division academic courses, and an additional set of Workforce Education (WECM) nursing courses, make up the Field of Study Curriculum for Nursing. This plan assumes the student has completed any developmental work required. The student must review individual course prerequisites, if developmental work is required.

BIOL 2420 Microbiology for Non-Science Majors 4 4 TOTAL HOURS 28 Nursing Content Courses
NOTE: Lower-division nursing content is offered at community colleges through one of two general types of programs: Blocked or Integrated Concept Based. Because of the distribution of content, it is extremely difficult to align curricula from one type of program to another. Students who desire to transfer from a program utilizing one type of program into the other type of program should be prepared to make up some content through a "bridge" course or through the repetition of some content within courses. It is recommended that a student make every effort to avoid transferring from one type of program to the other before completing the associate degree in nursing in order not to lose credit.
Lower-division nursing content courses being transferred from a blocked curriculum program to another blocked-curriculum program should be applied to the degree on a course-for-course substitution basis, in which the course transferred is applied IN LIEU OF the course at the receiving institution, even if the number of semester credit hours awarded upon the completion of the course varies between the sending and receiving institutions. The same procedure should be used when a student transfers from an integrated-curriculum program into another integrated-curriculum program.

The following notes address special circumstances and are also part of the field of study curriculum:
1. Wherever possible, courses applied to fulfill field of study curriculum requirements should also be used to satisfy requirements in the general academic core curriculum. Generally, the math course, the biology or chemistry course(s), and one psychology course should be able to fulfill requirements in both curricula. 2. Courses selected for inclusion in the field of study curriculum are those that are common to most baccalaureate nursing programs. 3. Completion of the field of study curriculum shall not prevent a receiving institution from requiring additional courses/content for specific degree programs. 4. Students should not be required to repeat courses that they have completed successfully. 5. The academic courses and the unmodified WECM courses that are included in the Field of Study Curriculum for Nursing should transfer immediately upon approval of the field of study curriculum by the Coordinating Board. New WECM courses and courses that need modification should be accepted in transfer as soon as those modifications have been approved by the WECM Maintenance committee and added to the WECM inventory. Implementation of the complete field of study curriculum should not take more than one calendar year following addition of the new and modified courses to the WECM inventory. New or modified WECM courses will be initiated with entering students. Programs may allow sophomore students to continue with the previous curricula to prevent changing courses in the middle of their programs. Full implementation of new and modified WECM courses must be complete within two years after their addition to the WECM inventory. Transfer Courses by Major
The courses listed in this section by major are intended to illustrate the nature of the work required in many fields of preparation provided by four-year colleges and universities. These suggested electives are designed for students who plan to transfer. Because senior college requirements vary, students should consult the catalog of the senior college of their choice before selecting electives. The number following the academic field is the major code number.
