Welcome to Admissions!
Early Admission Students

A student who has completed the sophomore year of high school may apply for admission to KC and take college courses while completing high school. The student must have demonstrated an ability to accept considerable academic responsibility and the maturity to handle college work. In addition to meeting or exceeding the general admission requirements are have to passed the TAKS, THEA, or local placement exam, and must have approval from his or her parent(s) and the high school principal.

During a long semester, a student with an “A” average may enroll in two courses; a student with a “B” average may enroll in a maximum of one course. The course load of a student may not exceed a combination of seven college and high school courses.

During a summer term, a student with a “C” average may enroll in a maximum of two courses plus a kinesiology course.

The college encourages the student to consult the Constitution and Contest Rules of the University Interscholastic League (UIL) concerning eligibility for course work beyond high school level in subject areas in which the student may participate in UIL. Under UIL rules, taking college courses in a field of study in which the student may compete in UIL may disqualify a student from competition. After high school graduation, the student must submit a transcript showing the date of graduation.

College credit earned under the Early Admissions Program will not be valid unless the college receives the transcript. Additional information about this program is available from the Office of Jeanna Centers. Phone (903) 983-8202. You may contact her at: jcenters@kilgore.edu
